And that is a crying shame. Webb is a Democrat because he dissents from the GOP consensus on neocon Pax America and the forced promotion of democracy, as well as his identity with the working class he came from.webb did a horrible job.
Not according to the polls. He finished with 24% who thought he 'won' after Sanders at 54%
.
Webb was stiff and grumpy. But the real reasons the Wasserman-Shultz crowd didn't like him; he made the point about regular people not having armed security like Hillary, and therefore need to defend themselves; made the point that some sectors of the white population have cultural issues that perpetuate poverty and therefore affirmative action shouldn't be based on race... and then he muddled that by supporting affirmative action for blacks due to their unique American history; and the post-debate freak out was a reaction to Webb talking about snuffing a dude in Nam, as if he should have negotiated with the guy throwing grenades at him.
I watched the debate with a self-proclaimed socialist. She said she didn't like Webb because he'd want to bomb everyone we have a problem with. In reality, he's much more firmly anti-war than Clinton.
the wasserman-shultz crowd?
you people find the oddest ways of labeling people.
webb did a terrible stiff whiny unlikeable job.
that is just how it is.
Webb sounded too Republican, that is the reason many conservatives are claiming that he did a good job at the debate....truth is, he and Chafee won't be around too much longer and most Democrats won't even miss them.
There was a time when that was all you had to believe to be a Democrat.
