Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb is jumping into the race for president, becoming the latest Democrat to try for a primary upset over frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

In a message to supporters obtained by Fox News, and later posted on his website, Webb says: "After many months of thought, deliberation and discussion, I have decided to seek the office of the Presidency of the United States."

Webb's entry brings the total number of Democratic presidential candidates to five. Clinton continues to dominate the field, though Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders lately has been gaining in the polls.

But Webb, 69, is cut from a far different political cloth than the independent, socialist-leaning Vermont senator.

A highly decorated Vietnam veteran and former secretary of the Navy under the Reagan administration, Webb had been seriously mulling a presidential run since establishing an exploratory committee in November 2014.

Webb will not be the last Democrat to jump in.  The fact is Hillary Clinton is NOT that attractive as a candidate.  Why?  Because she is a criminal on a good day, taking advantage of the American people to lie her own pockets full of gold.  She has taken foreign money into her foundation as tribute to effect their desired wishes.  This is treason, and there is no other way to define it.  As dumb as the general population is, this repeated message will finally register with the Democrat rank and file, and they will indeed turn to someone else.  Webb on paper has good credentials, and if he can stand up to her in a debate, he will prove to be a viable candidate against Hillary.

Look at the progression of Bernie Sanders so far.  He has proven that Hillary does not have a lock on the nomination.  Bernie is compelling, and appealing to the liberals, whereas Hillary just does not resonate.  She has poor people skills.  She will not be the Dems candidate come November 2016.
