Jim Webb is whining about the debate being "rigged"

Webb "rigged" his own answers, by being such an ass.

Webb Complains Debate Was ‘Rigged’

Jim Webb complains that the CNN debate was "rigged" to help Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

"That debate was, I'm going to be very frank, rigged in terms of who was going to get the time on the floor by the way that Anderson Cooper was selecting people to supposedly respond to something someone else said," Webb explained. "I even turned around to Bernie Sanders at one point and said, 'Bernie! Say my name, will you? Just say my name!'…

"It's very difficult to win a debate when you don't have the opportunity to speak with the same amount of time on issues as the others did."

1. He doesnt belong there in the first place.

How in the hell did he think he had any chance or that he belongs in the DEMOCRATIC party lineup?

2. Webb is pandering to the "Reagan Democrats..."

Nowadays who are in the ranks of the Teabaggers.

5. Well he was a (D) Senator from Virginia

Just saying

8. Are we turning into the GOP? All our candidates have to think and believe the same things?

I disagreed with almost all of what Webb said, but he struck me as a man with good character who spoke about what he believed in. We need to expand the tent and encourage alternate views without attacking fellow candidates, and I think Webb does a good job of both.

Whether we like it or not, he does represent a smaller group of democrats who feel they've been left behind. And those voters WILL MATTER this election...those folks will vote GOP as opposed to just stay at home. Best to make sure they feel included and heard now.

3. He's probably right to a degree but he hasn't made any effort himself to get noticed

So how he expects to be treated like a serious contender is beyond me.

Defending the confederacy is not a way to stake out a position compatible with Democratic party principles.

4. I have no idea how much he has done

on the campaign trail. He still should get fair time, not ALL the time he wants but fairer time than he did get. If we let them on stage they should be heard more than a couple of times. I do NOT like him at all, he is scary but he still had things to say that help define our candidates. There were quite a few things that did not get handled all that fairly. I don't know how else to do it but he does have the right to get a close amount of time until he drops out.

**of course when we only have 6 debates that does change my opinion of that a little

6. they should not have people there

who are going to be placeholders in suits. It shows a lack of respect, not only for those candidates, but for their supporters as well as anyone who might be interested to learn more about them. It reeks of favoritism, but given the newest revelations about Debbie Wasserman Schultz I am not at all surprised.

7. It was not carried out in a fair manner. He's right. n/t

9. Webb Has a Bad Case of PTSD

He has either not been diagnosed or is in denial (which is very common).
I denied it for a long time too.
He is a warrior. Not a politician or a peacemaker.
His PAC is named "Born Fighting PAC".
He is married to a Vietnamese refugee.
Some vets are still "stuck" in Vietnam.
Jim went one step further and brought it home with him.

I voted for him when I lived in Virginia and he was an OK Senator.
At least he was better than a Republican.
I don't want him anywhere near the Oval Office.

[JaneyVee]

10. He's not even campaigning.

[Capt. Obvious]

11. He's still complaining about amount of time he got

he already used up his time allotment

[oasis]

12. Jim Webb, get over yourself. You put me to sleep.

[Freddie Stubbs]

13. He actually received more time than his campaign warranted based on polls

[liberal_at_heart]

14. There was a part of me that was hoping the candidates would boycott the CNN debate and just

do some sort of online debate or something. Webb is right. The whole damn thing is rigged.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. about 10 people, including Webb, were supporting his candidacy prior to the debate.

Honesty he and Chaffee were getting a freebie just being there.
