>> So, you think Hillary can get us past the the damage if we all get behind her?

My personal opinion is that Hillary is not presidential material. After 8 years of terrible corruption we just don't need more of it. I think they may try to run Warren but she has real corruption problems as well and I think they'll be exposed if she runs.

The Democrat who I see as most able and viable is Webb. I could envision him becoming president with some ease and being a damned good one. While I think most of the R candidates will be better than Ds, I could envision voting for Webb if the Rs ran a lousy candidate.

I don't know a lot about Webb, but based on what I do know I like him a lot. I believe the main advantage is that he could reunite the country because he wouldn't be an extremist imo. If the Dems run Warren or Hillary or [god] Sanders, someone like that, and they WIN, we're going to see another term of division and hatred and fiscal irresponsibility and all the bad stuff we're seeing now.

Someone like Webb could really unite the country because (a) he isn't stupid and (b) he doesn't attack the other party. I think Congress would change overnight and I honestly think the political factions in the country and the races would come together. Shit would get done.

I blame Barack Obama and Harry Reid for most of the bad stuff going on now, primarily because of the arrogant way they handled the ACA. My main problem with Webb is I don't think he would commit to a repeal of Obamacare and I would have a hard time voting for anyone who didn't make that promise.
