Former US Senator Jim Webb has left the building:

Former Virginia senator Jim Webb announced Tuesday afternoon that he would no longer pursue the Democratic presidential nomination, saying that he will instead gauge support in the coming weeks for a possible White House bid as an independent candidate.

“More people in this country call themselves political independents than Republicans or Democrats. I happen to agree with them,” Webb told reporters at a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington.

“I am withdrawing from any consideration of being the Democratic Party’s nominee for the presidency,” he said. “This does not reduce in any way my concerns for the challenges facing the country … or my intentions to remain fully engaged in the debates that are facing us.”

You are out of the Democratic primary because people saw you in the debate, and they did not not like you.

What’s more, with the House of Representative resembling an open air insane asylum, this whole “but each side does it” pseudo-balance is getting old.

You have been running a non-campaign on the assumption that people will recognize your staggering brilliance, and no one is buying that baloney.

Just ……… Go ……… Away
