Is Johnson qualified to be president?

Of course he is, his resume is extremely impressive, as a very successful governor of a state. He has a more impressive resume than several Presidents who have been elected in the past, including Obama.

Does he have the greatest wit? No, never has, but that didn't stop him from being an incredible governor, and several of our greatest Presidents would have looked worse than him in the modern media spotlight. Decision making skills are much more important, and he's proven himself there.

Ftr, resume alone doesn't make one automatically "qualified"

Buchanan is a weird example to use here. He was easily one of our most qualified Presidents. He's a much better example to use if you were arguing that well-qualified does not necessarily translate to good. Obviously, to be a good President, it's more important to have good decision making skills and policy positions than it is to have good qualifications beforehand. And if there's a candidate who parallels Buchanan this cycle--one who seems well qualified but whose decision making skills and policy positions are questionable--it's definitely Clinton, not Johnson.
