Related: About this forumJim Webb, "Democrat": I could vote for Trump, but not Hillary
What a mendacious, boot-licking, DINO fuck.
In an interview on MSNBCs Morning Joe, Reagan administration veteran-turned-Democratic senator from Virginia turned short-term presidential candidate Jim Webb said twice that he could not support Hillary Clinton if she won the Democratic nomination for president.
No, I would not vote for Hillary Clinton, Webb said.
Pressed on whether he would vote for Donald Trump, Webb said he was not sure but had not ruled it out.
Its nothing personal about Hillary Clinton, but the reason Donald Trump is getting so much support right now is not because of the, you know, racists, etc. and etc., Webb said. Its because a certain group of people are seeing him as the only one who has the courage to say, Weve got to clean out the stables of the American governmental system right now. If you're voting for Donald Trump, you might be getting something very good or very bad. If youre voting for Hillary Clinton, youre going to get the same thing. Do you want the same thing?

With the system line and getting something good, bad or same.
And I think a lot of people feel the same way.
But I can't vote for Trump.
