Jim Webb
Jim Webb is a candidate who's views were not all throughly explained, and when he did bolster himself, it was with causes unrelated to the position he was running for.
Jim Webb, while being an unpopular candidate, did have some moments to shine through at the debate. Some of his plans were lacking substance, but some of the, had their merit. When asked if he would be a good commander and chief, he responded that he would be the best on the stage.

While this serves no other purpose than to make a connection between himself and the army, he offers a more tangible piece of evidence. He served in the pentagon for five years. This along with his military accommodation would imply a strong familiarity with the army and the right set of skills to lead it. He was also with some flawed arguments at the debate, such as his gun control policy. He mentioned a number of issues but never went into depth about them.

His gun-policy, which was more conservative than most democrats would like is a prime example of his reasoning. He explains the validity of both thorough background checks and mental health issues that can be applicable to gun violence.

If Bernie includes the NRA a deal will likely be stuck that garners more support from either side than other deals would. Bernie's thorough argumentation for his policies and plans makes them seem more possible, which makes him a better choice to vote
