Jim Webb: I won't vote for Clinton, but I may for Trump
POLITICO ^ | March 4, 2016 | ELIZA COLLINS

Posted on 03/04/2016 7:07:42 AM PST by McGruff

Former Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb won’t be voting for Hillary Clinton, but he hasn’t ruled out casting his ballot for Donald Trump.

Webb, who briefly flirted with an independent bid before deciding against it, said on Friday morning that the Democratic frontrunner wasn't inspirational.

"I would not vote for Hillary Clinton,” Webb said on MSBNC's "Morning Joe."

When asked if he'd vote for Trump, Webb said he wasn't closed to the idea. “I'm not sure yet. I don't know who I'm going to vote for,” he said.

Hmm wonder what Webb is angling for? Hillary’s VP?

With that resume, I’m not sure why he’s a Dem to begin with.

Trump should select Webb as a running mate. Webb would be a stronger Nationalist/ White Populist candidate than Trump. It’s a pity he’s not 15 years younger.

The division here over Trump is far worse than it was over Romney.

Yes it is. There are great divisions within my own extended family and circle of acquaintances as well. But I believe Jeff Sessions sees something there worth taking a risk on or he wouldn't have made that endorsement.

That being said, I'll still be voting for Ted Cruz in the April 26 Pennsylvania Primary if by some odd miracle the race isn't over by then.

Exactly. More proof Trump will be reaching disaffected Independents and Reagan Dems.

Well, it wouldn’t surprise me-—if Trump can get Webb to sign off on the wall-—to see this guy end up as the veep.

If you read Webb’s excellent book, “Born Fighting”, you’ll be surprised that he hasn’t yet endorsed Trump formally. Other than being a Republican, Trump is exactly the kind of leader that Webb lauded, basically a Jacksonian kind of figure. I’ve been saying that Trump-Webb would be an unbelievable ticket.

I am certain that this will get as much press as the Mitt Romney break with Trump.

You said...

What proof?

His only definite statement was he won’t be voting for Hillary.

Do people read articles anymore or just headlines?

It’s equally important to note that, after partially recovering from a serious wound, he returned to his men in Vietnam. Imagine that for a democrat. Serious wound, goes back to the fight. Didn’t someone who “served in Vietnam,” also a democrat, “suffer” three fabricated band-aid scratches and knock people down in his haste to bail on his men in Vietnam.

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHA, another brilliant retort from a Trumpophile.

Why do you folks take everything so personally? You obviously must as your standard response to a disparaging comment about Trump is a personal attack on the messenger.

Either you have nothing factual to support your positions or you have the emotional maturity of a 3rd grader.

Just made two honest observations. Not a “personal attack.”

“Jim Webb was the only worthy democrat running.”

I agree with that. He is more conservative than a lot of Republicans.

“More proof of broadbased support for the Donald. What a fun ride this is going to be.”

You are correct. The Reagan coalition.

Trump will be Obama returned. Both have fabricated biographies.

this week’s “who’s Jim Webb?” moment.

Ask Oliver North, he went toe-to-toe with Jim Webb in a boxing match. North won the match but Webb more than tapped on his brain-housing-group.
Mister Webb is what young Marines admire in an officer.
