Webb is a lib scumbag. Unlike Savris he’s a scumbag people have heard of. He won’t run as a Libertarian and have stupid conservatives voting for that letter next to his name. He’s a threat (to take 1-4 points) from Hillary, not the GOP.

I despise McCain. I like Trump. Simple as that.

No, supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting evil. The progressive agenda is evil. Trump, Sanders and Clinton are all progressives. None of them will get my vote.

I agree! We have choice in the primary, fight for your guy. If he doesn’t win, well, maybe next time, but I will NOT stay home and give it to Hillary.

That is what she wants you to do! I won’t do anything that Hillary wants me to do.

I want her to lose BIG!!!

Can’t you just see her, hear her if she wins? It makes me PUKE just thinking about her acceptance speech!

So, would you vote for an honest man you completely disagree with on everything or vote for a liar who tells you just what you want to hear?

"Webb has no base of support. He'll get less votes than John Anderson."

That's ok, but as long as he gets the 1.5% that Moon Bat Jerry Brown did in 2004 that helped nix I served in Vietnam Francois Kerry, I'd be really happy with it...

He is despicable to me, for being disrespectful of POWs (”getting caught”). Simple as that.

Good. You can suffer through 8 years of his being president.

Cruzers are the conservative puritans. Rigid ideologues living in A world defined by conservative voting percentiles. Thats all that matters. No imagination. No originality. No hope.

I read someplace else that a Webb third-party run might be a problem for the GOP moreso than the DNC because it would draw off more conservative democrats (yes, I know, contradiction in terms) who would otherwise have voted for the GOP candidate.

Is there anything of substance to that, or would Webb just be a thorn in the side of the DNC?

I’m a Virginian. And a former ‘rat as my tagline indicates. Conservative and ‘rat, particularly in the south, wasn’t a complete contradiction in terms until about 10 years ago.

Webb would be more of a threat to a gop populist such as Trump than to the rats. We saw something like this with Robert Sarvis who likely cost Ken Cuccinelli the governor’s office in 2013. The gop was complicit as well, but Sarvis was probably the coup d grace.

Thanks for the info. I am a Virginian in diaspora - married a New Yorker almost 20 years ago so I rather doubt if I’ll be going back any time soon.

It has changed. It has become much more liberal due to the population influx into the People’s Republic of Northern Virginia.

Nice place and it’s been good to us, but I don’t plan on staying in the long term.
