Um, Webb has always held elected office as a Democrat and was running for the 2016 presidential election as such. As a Virginian I can assure you that the man is off-his-rocker nuts, but he’s an honest nut who says exactly what he means (with varying results), which I suppose gives him something over the vast majority of politicians from either party.
