Who?
Could that be the problem?
I’m with you…….
No, the problem is that while the modern Democrat party has gone full blown commie, Webb is an old school Conservative Democrat of the JFK and Zell Miller mold, and there's no place for him in it as a presidential candidate.
Jim, I hope you get the 15% of the Democrat vote you deserve!
Good for him.
Webb is a pro-abortion socialist.
True for the Repub Party -- it doesn't deliver what its base wants.
But the Democrat Party is in step its base, the gimmedats.
Web has an honorable and admirable biography - up until he was a Senator and voted pretty much lockstep with Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer.
Jim Webb was a loyal democratic drone while a Senator. He voted for the policies he now finds objectionable. Bit late for him to get a political backbone.
I agreed with him on a number of things watching the debate and he looked like he was in agony when he spewed leftist rhetoric.
If runs as an independent he could hurt us.
No dem is going to vote for this guy.
But independents might.
I hope he stays out, OR becomes what he is supposed to be, a conservative America loving Marine!!!!
He can come away from the dark side, i think.
i know he was going to withdraw because he had NOTHING in common with those other morons.
(1) The Democrat Party has been hemorrhaging blue-collar, rural, suburban, and middle-class white voters since Obama took office
(2) The Democrats and GOPe are panicking at the grassroots enthusiasm for Trump and realize that conservatives aren't bluffing when they say they're not going to hold their noses again for another Bush or RINO
(3) The Clinton Cartel and GOPe quietly tells Webb to run as an Indy to siphon votes away from Trump
Webb is a leftist slimeball, always has been. He is not conservative or a lunch-box Democrat by any means.
That's not true. He's always been a strictly "middle of the road" Democrat from Conservative Southwest Virginia. Harry Reid detested him, so that makes him O.K. in my book, even though I don't agree with many of his positions.
Run jim run! run as an independent!

Seems like it is 1980 all over again....
John B. Anderson = Jim Webb

I would vote for him before I would vote for Jeb Bush.
Harry Reid pretended to dislike Webb so Webb can maintain credibility with the folks back home. But Webb is still a leftist by virtue of his association with the Democrat Party.
Until Webb explains his conversion to the Democrat party there’s no way he gets my vote... ever. It’s one thing if the Democrats were a centrist party, but they are not.
