Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson had another "Aleppo moment" on TV Wednesday night, when MSNBC's Chris Matthews asked him, in front of a live audience, to name his favorite foreign leader.

He drew a blank, as he did earlier this month when asked what he would do about Aleppo, the besieged Syrian city.

But what else do, and should, voters know about Johnson, and the other two third party candidates, Green Party nominee Jill Stein and Independent candidate Evan McMullin?

Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson talks with Daniel Strauss, politics reporter with POLITICO, about the candidates, where they stand on the issues and who their supporters are.

Guest
