People have fantasized about a Clinton-Bush-Trump-Sanders four-way race, but I'm curious about specifically Virginia in this case. I'd put my money on Clinton, since I think Webb would take fewer votes from her than Trump would from Rubio.

Cannot understand the appeal of Jim Webb. He will not have any effect on the race.

Donald Trump running third party would totally annihilate any chances of a Republican victory in 2016. It splits the field wide open and Clinton will win a 1968-like victory.

Clinton would win Virginia, and the whole map would look like a 1912-level landslide for Clinton IMO. Trump has serious appeal among the GOP in a way Webb doesn't. Webb would get maybe 1%, Trump could pull 15%.

Republicans have been relying for too long on people who vote for economic policies that hurt them for the sake of social and immigration issues. Both the establishment and tea party are taking them for granted. Now they have their candidate. Someone who will keep pushing their social agenda without taking away their health care.
