Van Jones comments, more than anyone else, has me wondering if I am not in some parallel universe.

I can’t imagine why he is praising Trump.

He is still a human being. Being about to lie 24/7/365 does not come naturally.

Better to ride the tidal wave instead of getting crushed by it.

Because sometimes the truth is so evident to everyone that not even the fake news people can deny it.

That was the greatest SOTU speech of my lifetime and I have seen EVERY ONE since Carter.

For all his flaws and his leftist political views, I have to give Van Jones credit for one thing. After his infamous "whitelash" meltdown on CNN on Election Night in 2016, he did a remarkable segment a few days or weeks later in which he visited a family of white Democrats in Ohio who voted for Donald Trump. He sat down and had dinner with them, and got a good look at the lives of these blue-collar voters in Midwestern swing states that ended up voting for Trump.

I suspect this was a real learning experience for Jones, and he took a lot of what he heard to heart in some way.

“I can’t imagine why he is praising Trump.”

A lie succeeds best when she baits her hook with a bit of truth.

There’s a hook in there somewhere.

>>I can’t imagine why he is praising Trump.

I think he was so overwhelmed that he just blurted it out. Those Democrats last night looked like they had just got hit with the stunner in the slaughterhouse chute. They all had to run out to find a safe space where they could find a way to start hating Trump again.

My MoveOn.org email today was so full of disbelief and lies that I just read it and laughed.

You're forgetting Clintonian triangulation.

Later, he can claim he's 'reappraised' Trump, and that he's a racist after all.

It's a game, narcissism, complete BS, all aimed at keeping Van Jones in the limelight.

Don't take the bait.
