Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb switched to the Democrat party in 2006, but on Sunday, the former Republican -- who briefly ran in the most recent presidential primary -- made it clear that he’s not happy with the far-left direction in which the Democrats are moving:
Well, you know, there is a campaign going on, on the Hill, in the media, in the academia to personally discredit not only Donald Trump, but the people who are around him. And you know, the end result is to slow down the process…slow it down so that by '18, when the Democrats are very vulnerable, particularly in the Senate, there will not be a record of accomplishment that they can run against.
And at the same time, the Democratic Party over the past five or six years has moved very far to the left. When you can't have a Jefferson-Jackson dinner, which was the primary celebratory event of the Democratic Party for years, because Jefferson and Jackson were slave holders -- they were also great Americans in their day, something just different has happened to the Democratic Party.
