Jim Webb says the first Democratic debate on CNN was “rigged” by the network and its moderator Anderson Cooper to favor Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
Webb, speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations on Thursday, insisted, “I’m going to be very frank, it was rigged in terms of who was going to get the time on the floor by the way that Anderson Cooper was selecting people to supposedly respond to something someone else said.” (RELATED: Webb Takes A Dig At Hillary’s Bodyguards, Says Americans Need Guns)
Webb joked, “I even turned around to Bernie Sanders at one point and said, Bernie, say my name, will you? Say my name. So you know, in that kind of an environment, you know, I was either going to be Mr. Angry or I was going to be a potted plant. That was the only way to try to get into the conversation.”

No sh!te?
Seriously Jim.
Nah, He just hasn’t figured out that he’s running to be nominated by a party that no longer exists.
Well, DUHUH!!!!
I like Jim Webb. Read some of his books and can’t for the life of me understand why he is in the democratic party. Hell he is more to the right than most Rino’s!
Sour grapes.
Just wait until he figures Hilldabeast had the questions in advance...
Yeah...?
Sorry but Jim Webb is a bad guy any way you slice it
Sorry, Jim: you shoulda gone out and bought yourself a clue some time ago...
He’s surely to the right of John Boehner...
In late 2005, a campaign to draft Webb to run for the Senate in 2006 began on the internet, promoted by netroots activists such as those at the blog Raising Kaine. On February 7, 2006, he announced that he would seek the Democratic nomination for the 2006 Senate race against incumbent Virginia Senator George Allen.
In the Democratic primary on June 13, 2006, Webb faced longtime businessman and lobbyist Harris Miller. Webb won with 53.5% of the vote, in a race with low turnout.
On August 11, 2006, an incident occurred in which Allen used the word macaca to refer to S.R. Sidarth, who was filming an event as a “tracker” for the Webb campaign. A poll the following week showed Webb gaining 10 percentage points. The race, which at one point looked like a sure win for Allen, became one of the most watched and closest races of the 2006 elections.

Webb hates (not just dislikes, but really hates) Bush II for the way Iraq was handled. I think that has a lot to do with Webb's party affiliation.
He once apparently held a young boy by his feet while he was serviced.
Yes I know he says it was a fiction book but the guy is a disgrace, just like the other so called blue dog Democrats from Manchin on down.
Each and every one of them support all the anti Christian stuff, from the removal of God/Christ from the classroom/Public square to teaching children that homosexuality is a option for them, to abortion and the removal of Christian Crosses from public places/vet cemeteries etc
Yes they do by belonging to such a party and by voting Democrat in any way shape or form
Sorry just the way I feel
On November 28, 2006, at a White House reception for those newly elected to Congress, Webb did not choose to wait in the line to have his picture taken with the president, whom Webb often criticized during the campaign.
The president approached Webb later and asked him, “How’s your boy?”, referring to Webb’s son, a Marine serving in Iraq. Webb replied “I’d like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President.”
Bush responded, “That’s not what I asked you. How’s your boy?”, Webb responded, “That’s between me and my boy, Mr. President.”
The Hill cited an anonymous source who claimed that Webb was so angered by the exchange that he confessed he was tempted to “slug” the president. Webb later remarked in an interview, “I’m not particularly interested in having a picture of me and George W. Bush on my wall.”

I thought Bernie Sanders’ comment about Hill’s g-d e-mails looked staged. She reacted before he ever finished his comment. They turned her mendacity into the Alinsky strategy of ridicule to defuse an issue.
There is no such thing as a decent Democrat, My FRiend. If they are decent, they are not Democrats. If they are Democrats, they are not decent. No matter what they claim.
Webb you are a good American and thank you for your service, Jim. I’m glad you killed the gook that shot you!!. If I was a Demorat, I would vote for you. Good luck sir!!( bet you go up in the polls)
