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.
The Democrats are banking on being the party of militant racial minorities and college campus radicals.
Webb won't get anywhere because the DNC doesn't want a veteran, nor does it want a pro-gun candidate who takes pride in his Scotch-Irish heritage. To be a successful white Democrat, you have to grovel in front of "minorities" on cue. Even O'Malley and Sanders got into trouble for saying "all lives matter." Hillary knows how to shamelessly play this game better than most other Democrats.
