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.

Your condiscention is noted and rejected. As far as who I am or am not voting for is none of your business

You've never seen my condescension. And as far as who you're voting for, if you think it's a mystery you really ARE delusional.

Agree 100%. There were other factors that led to their losses, but it is clear the canddiates no longer have the traditional resumes we had seen for several generations. The current media/tv environment and culture lead to decision made on other factors than a list of accomplishments and lifetime of service. Obama is the bigger example of this as someone with a paperthin resume. Trump fits the bill in his media savvy over long-standing principles or commitment to a set of ideas. He arguably has a fine set of accomplishments, but not in the traditional set of criteria. I think for many, like me, they see him as a highly capable person, so that fills that need, but it’s still a bit of taking a flyer that he can succeed in this role. It’s much different than his companies.

Besides not understanding what a rhetorical question is, you also can't spell "condescension." After your crap education, you signed up to be a shill because you grew up hearing "you've got mail" on your mom's computer and decided you were the next Steve Jobs. Unfortunately, you're not only too stupid to think outside of your instructions, you also wandered into a website where the average poster's dog understand more about how politics works in the real world than you do, even if you smoked meth and slept with snakehead - a reference I know you'll completely miss. I'm rebutting you on a phone while changing lanes on the freeway because I had to find something to occupy enough of my brain so that I don't waste the energy provided by the single brain cell I've assigned to destroying what passes for your pathetic job.

Is that enough, or do you want more?

Jim Webb is more conservative than many of the former GOP candidates, and would have been a FORMIDABLE choice by the Democrats, particularly if it turns out Hillary is indicted.

Jim Webb is a hero and a Patriot.

That’s why he didn’t stand a chance in the Democratic primaries.

Indeed. He was the only one on the first debate stage who wasn't barking mad. He was also the only one who, when asked "Do black lives matter or do all lives matter?" answered "All lives matter." He was roundly criticized for that by the psychopathic left, too.

He was the only one of the Democrats’ candidates who made sense.

John Nance Garner was the last “worthy” (ie not a socialist piece of garbage) democrat to run for President.

Webb can be described as a Reagan Democrat style of voter that should be attracted to Trump.

He was a Republican at the time, serving as Assistant Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Navy under Reagan.

Note my last post, he wasn’t a Dem to begin with, serving in the Reagan administration. He would have been better received had he switched back and run in the Republican primary. Military record you allude to, Secretary of the Navy under Reagan, Dems despise that kind of stuff.

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.

It's not about parties, I'd like to think it's still that way. Lewis Puller, Chesty's son, ran for Congress as a Dem too, missing both legs and most of both hands. He lost.

Duncan Hunter (the younger?) is supporting/endorsing him too, so are Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter.

He was a blue dog. He knew his kind had no standing in the Senate.

“The Revolution against Britain that secured us as a nation was a greater risk than electing Donald Trump. May God bless America!”

i hope you’re right and that 2016 turns out as well.
