What would a Webb presidency look like if James Webb surprisingly won the presidency in 2016?

I think he would be fairly populist on economic issues and social issues, without being strident, while being fairly tough abroad and hard on crime. It might look a lot like Clinton without the scandals.

Similar to a Biden presidency. But, should GOP hold onto House, no investigations.

Isolationist foreign policy, neo-liberal economic policy, total federal disengagement from social policy.

Bill Clinton redux, ironically enough.

It would be the most cliched Presidency ever.

He would have his own party on his back over many, many issues, and would accomplish very little.  The GOP would block his every initiative, and the Democrats would primary him in 2020.  He'd be a one-term President, one way or the other.  The dissatisfaction with Webb by Congressional Democrats would make the opposition to Carter by Democrats in 1980 look pale in comparison.
