"Jim Webb is no longer running for president as a democrat. He may, however, run as an independent. On November 9th, I interviewed him. Near the end of the interview, in response to a question I hadn’t even planned on asking, he said The Most Presidential Thing Any Candidate Has Ever Said. I can’t even imagine the other candidates saying it. Hell, it was more presidential than anything an actual president has ever said.
The entire interview was interesting, and started really well. Webb asked what I did in the military, and we discovered we both taught pistol marksmanship in the Marine Corps. He talked about his love for the Colt 1911. I joked that I’m partial to pistols designed within the last century. He laughed and bragged about his beloved H&K P7, a gift from the German Army.
If Hillary ever touched a gun, she’d probably amputate her hand in shame. Give Bernie Sanders a gun and he’ll automatically assume the triumphant pose of a socialist propaganda poster. Offer Ben Carson a gun and he’ll call it a grain dispenser made by The Adversary. I’ll never know what Trump would do with a gun, because if I see him armed I’ll run for my life.
But Jim Webb? He’s trained with a pistol, used one in combat, and to this day loves his .45. That’s just cool.
As the interview progressed I learned a few things about Webb. He is in fact as serious as he comes across in public, although levity does lurk beneath the rough exterior. He has an experience-based, gut-level understanding of subjects that are theoretical to other candidates. He doesn’t back down from aggravating questions, even when he gets defensive and his voice goes all “get off my lawn”.

Great article about our next president.

Capt Walter Miller I'm not a Democrat, and I don't expect I ever will be. However, Jim Webb is a man I respect. And if we were to have a Democrat for president, I want it to be him.

He isn't a Democrat anymore, either. That's why he's running as an Independent now.

SSgt Joe Chenelly I understand that he isn't running as a democrat, but that doesn't change that his beliefs are in line with the democrat party. Or least what they were before the rest of them went off the deep end.

Senator Webb has got to burst forth in a big way and fairly soon, if he does.
Only a few nut jobs are truly thrilled by Madame Clinton for POTUS. Many Dems see her as the only reasonable alternative. Sanders' people may be thrilled by what a good guy he is and how his plans would help so many. There is no chance any of that would work.
Senator Webb is counting on them jumping for him en masse and also many many God fearing Gun loving Republicans who know what buffoons all the Rethug candidates are.
Seems like I saw his strategy is to get on states that total 270 electoral votes and then win -all- of them.
Or he could be working a deal to be SecState, which would at least be something to help deal with all our foreign policy problems.

President Webb wouldn’t put politics over his troops. He’d give two orders:
“Shoot the motherfuckers. And take care of your people.”
That’s what every president should say. And it’s why I, and any American who understands the threat we face, should vote for Jim Webb.
