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.

Hillary is the candidate of the Hive. Trump the candidate of the collective.

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

Never been able to figure that one out. But the democrat that really bothers me is Joe Manchin from West Virginia. Every position he has in aligned with the republican party, but he remains a democrat. Manchin claims he’s pro-life, but remains in a party that’s radical pro-abortion. He claims he believes in real marriage, but remains in the party of homo “marriage”. He ran for the senate against ObamaCare, and did a campaign add of him shooting up an ObamaCare sign with a shotgun. He’s pro-2nd amendment. But he remains in the party that wants to ban all guns. Just weird how there’s still still a few conservative democrats. Most left the dems in the 60s and 70s and became republicans when the party went so radical left. Manchin has no principles whatsoever.

Why they think it would be a good idea to have a President with no paper trail is beyond me.

True. Rubio and Cruz have no executive accomplishments.

“Why they think it would be a good idea to have a President with no paper trail is beyond me.”

Because he isn’t a career(lying)politician. Trump hasn’t presented himself as either a Conservative or Liberal....he has however said what he’d do on several pressing issues hence his popularity. You can either believe him or not. Many do. Other candidates have followed his lead and gave taken his positions.

I agree, it’s not about parties; for example, Bob Kerrey is a democrat. It’s about real character vs the hollow core.

It doesn't matter Jim. Apparently there are more than enough (so called) Republicans for Hillary to take your place.

...or "Conservatives" who may sit out a third Presidential election!

Yes, but Bob Kerry wasn’t good enough for the Democrat party, people died in Vietnam under his units guns. Three months, three purple hearts and home. Oops, different Kerry.

RE “...Dems despise that kind of stuff....”

There’s not too much about America that they DON’T despise.

Well, he SAYS he is, anyway. Probably a good long look at his voting record would prove otherwise. They’re good liars, brother. If I remember correctly, him and “pro-2nd Amendment” Pat Toomey - an R, tried to shove some gun control crap down our throats a year or two back.

They wear many faces; all of them bullsh*t.

Manchin acted conservative to get elected. After elected he fell right in line with Obama.
