Webb has an impressive r�sum�.

But I've read, he'd run to the left of Hillary.

Takes care of that.

What I don't understand 2A,
why is Bernie Sanders attracting larger crowds than any other candidate OF EITHER PARTY?!

wtf

:wink: see you're letting your 'HAIR DOWN'...noway

I've listened to his speeches - his moments on the morning 'TALKING HEAD' shows in the past...and he's both highly intelligent and doesn't mince words!

I think that his decorum and general well being persona draws a lot of Independents and middle of the road Americans that are just sick & tired of the acid attackers from both parties.

Will this sustain him to the finish line --- no idea!
