Has Jim Webb already had it with the Democratic Party? It kinda looks that way.
Webb is reportedly considering switching gears:

BREAKING: Jim Webb considers independent run after debate-rigging allegations: https://t.co/pSZoV4k0Da pic.twitter.com/VmLXgFVw5d

From The Hill:
Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb will consider an independent bid for president amid protests by the candidate that the Democratic Party rigged last week’s debate for Hillary Clinton.
Webb’s campaign emailed out details to a press conference for Tuesday at the National Press Club with the subject line “Jim Webb to consider independent run.” During last week’s debate, he only had the chance to speak for 15 minutes compared to about 30 minutes for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, according to NPR.“It was 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 told an audience last week at an event for the Council on Foreign Affairs.
Boom @JimWebbUSA considering an independent run presser tomorrow.
Good on him. pic.twitter.com/4Awjk50V6X— SalenaZito (@SalenaZito) October 19, 2015
So Jim Webb may ditch Dem run for POTUS, run as an independent. Hmm.

Good on him, indeed.
(And read his novel, The Emperor's General. Also so good.) https://t.co/tAZmZcroHL

@RTDSchapiro @JimWebbUSA Webb has no chance either as a Dem or a Repub. Should drop out now.

Jim Webb considering an Indy run. That would make this even more interesting, I guess, if only a little.

Jim Webb is a very serious policy candidate and a good man but come on don't run as an independent, suspend your campaign!

An independent run for Jim Webb wouldn't be … that bad of an idea.
He's a good guy & much too smart for either major party.

So Jim #Webb is demanding attention again, threatening to run as an independent. Taking his 1% or whatever and going home.
