I’ll have more to say about this later, but for now, here’s the link to the conference where Jim Webb is/was speaking today. Also, check out the tweets below about Webb’s speech. I was wondering when he’d pop up again, given that he’s been silent for many months now – literally not a word on his Facebook or Twitter pages, in the media, etc.
P.S. I actually hope that Webb DOES end up in Trump’s cabinet, maybe as Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State, as no matter what else he is, the fact is that he’s super-smart and knowledgeable about national security, foreign policy, etc. He’d also be INFINITELY better than Giuliani or any of the other horror shows I’ve heard mentioned so far.
