Jim Webb has some disadvantages, one of them is a book he wrote years ago which described some godawful pedophile images, but aside from that he is perceived as a mostly pro-defense Democrat, he was briefly Reagan’s Secretary of the Navy, and that looks good on almost any resume’.

Even with a Hillary indictment, Webb won't get any traction or visibility because he harks back to a bygone era when Democrats were liberal but still patriotic and comparatively sane (i.e. in the style of Truman, JFK, or Tip O'Neill rather than Marxist radicals). Webb tries to appeal to a demographic of working and middle class whites who have written off the Democratic party long ago and who the DNC has written off as well.

You are very likely right on that. It wouldn’t surprise me if today’s ‘RAT Party would reject George McGovern if he were alive and running for President, if only because he was a bomber pilot in World War II and to today’s leftist mindset, that translates as a ‘militarist’ and not anti-American enough.
