This means absolutely nothing coming from a presidential candidate, just like Celestial Traveler's comment about him graduating from college means nothing.
Politicians always start out first as mayor or as congressman first, and then move on to senator or governor, eventually making their way to the top positions like President, Department of Treasury, Supreme Court justice, etc.
So, yeah, no shit he has experience as a politician. That's to be expected... of EVERY candidate.
Just like how EVERY candidate has a college degree. Virtually all politicians either have MBA's or PhD's or JD's.

I was responding to the "he's dumb" type comments, he obviously isn't.
But then I guess unless you've become a multil millionaire by starting a charity, one simply isn't qualified to be president in this day and age

I find it amusing that you of all people is a staunch supporter of Johnson, considering he is the biggest social justice warrior candidate ever.

When did I say I supported him?
I don't care for the vast majority of his policies
I just don't think he's dumb,

If you look at my OP I never said he was a great candidate. I said I think he's an awesome person. He seems real, not fake, not a douchebag, and not a moron. A moron would not be capable of accomplishing the things that he has accomplished.

To be fair those are definitely derp moments. But what it shows is that he is misinformed, not a moron. A lot of Americans who are of above-average IQ probably don't know what Aleppo is or about other foreign events simply because they don't care, or they're too busy with other things in their life to keep track of these things.
As a politician (and especially a presidential candidate), it's absolutely terrible that he's so clueless about what's going on in the rest of the world, but that doesn't reflect on his ability to reason or his general level of intellect.

Agreed, the red vs blue mentality is sinking the ship.

You're leaving out the context of the original argument. The reason for pointing out that he was the governor of a state for several years (and a successful one according to many people) and a college graduate was not to argue that those traits made him a good candidate. It was to argue that he's not a moron. I would not expect a moron to be able to do the things that he has done.

Just voted Gary today. 
Not because I care for him, but to, as highly unlikely as it is, contribute to the breakdown of the red vs. blue game.
Sadly, Gary Johnson is not too great of a candidate, in all reality. For the simple fact that he didn't prepare enough to answer questions about controversial things.

That's his MO, insult people, he really acts like a complet asshole to those he disagrees with
As for GJ, he's definitely not stupid, but for the liberals, everyone who disagrees with their world outlook is stupid. Hence, all the hatred for him.
