As many Democrats cope with their shock and dismay at Donald Trump’s victory, former U.S. Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia on Tuesday saluted the president-elect, railed against elitism and accused his party of abandoning “white working people.”

Jim Webb, sounding like the "Anti-democrat"

[rktman]

I thought you said ‘JACK WEBB’. Just the facts mam. LOL!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Sounds like he might want a job in the administration. Which would probably be ok.

Americans didn’t appreciate Obama throwing them under the bus.

[Bogie]

He was the first one to recognize that Hillary Clinton had the nomination rigged.

BTW, Trump could use him somewhere.

Webb is a moderate Republican running as a democrat.

[Scrambler Bob]

I judged him the sanest of the dem candidates, while he lasted.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Webb is 100% correct.

Obama’s 2012 campaign openly stated that “we’re abandoning the white working class”.

[WayneS]

I’ve never cared for him, but he is a very capable man.

I think he could do a good job as Secretary of Defense. He is not a “nation-builder”, is definitely not a warmonger, but at the same time I do not think there is any danger of him backing down from a legitimate threat.

But still, I just don’t like the guy...

[cyclotic]

He was the only competent candidate this year on the Democrat side and they drummed him out fast.

This is my favorite quote from the article:

“Behind the veneer of diversity, there is an interlocking elite that has melded business, media and politics in a way we could never could before imagine. And many of these people also hold a false belief that they understand a society with which they have very little contact. And nothing has so clearly shown how wrong they are than the recent election of Donald Trump.”

[xzins]

I agree. He would have been Trump’s toughest opponent.

Stupid democrats. Jim Webb should have been their candidate.

[RU88]

I’ll tell you, I’ve always liked Jim Webb. He absolutely nailed the critique of this election but do you honestly believe that the democrats or for that matter the elites and the media will change their ways? You’d have a better chance seeing Christmas snow in Miami!

[Bogie]

Yeah, a both feet on the ground former military man with a genuine commitment to the best for Americans.

Notice how long he lasted?

[Bogie]

Neocons that were behind the Clinton nomination would never stand for Jim Webb.

Don’t claim ownership until you come through on your word. Otherwise you are just another Democrat
