Jones says the Democratic Party needs more progressive leaders. He adds that "incoming Sen. Kamala Harris will be a star in the party. The Clinton family's grip on the Democratic Party has come to an end and it's time for a new generation of leadership to lead the party",...
"... I think that the Clinton days are over," Jones told CNN's Jake Tapper ... "This idea that we're going to be this moderate party that's going to move in this direction, that's going to throw blacks under the bus for criminal justice reform, and for prison expansion, that's going to throw workers under the bus for NAFTA, those days are over."
He added that Kamala Harris, a California Democrat who was just elected to the US Senate, is "unreal.""She's going to be out there defending those DREAMer kids because they're a big part of her constituency," he said. "But she's got African-American roots. She's got Asian roots. She's female. She's tough. She's smart. She's going to become a big deal."
Jones also called Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress who is eying the DNC chairmanship, "important" because he's progressive. "I think that Keith Ellison is very important because he is somebody who represents the progressive wing of the party," he said. "One thing that happened, when Hillary Clinton had a chance to make a VP pick, she didn't pick someone from the progressive wing, which made it much harder to heal those wounds with the (Bernie) Sanders and Elizabeth Warren wing. Keith Ellison represents that wing very, very well."...

The Clintons aren’t going anywhere. Despite their baggage, they were moderate Democrats. Moderate Democrats like Evan Bayh, Harold Ford, etc., are gone.
Dummocraps are dissolving into a puddle of malodorous ooze right before our eyes. If their foundation was made of sound stuff, this would not have happened. So the transformation into stinking amorphous pathogenic filth is simply proof of what they consisted of all along.
They have no clue as to why the election didn’t go their way. I hope it stays that way. If they ever do figure it out, they will only be lying to get vote. They will never change their core philosophy to be main stream.
Yes, please double-down!
Van Jones/Keith Ellison 2020 (Chelsea Clinton for State)
One wing of the dems (Van Jones and other communists) pushing the progressive agenda. At the same time, some saying the dem party is suffering from “religious illiteracy” (whatever that is). This should be fun to watch.
Pleased pick Keith Ellison to head the DNC, I really want them to be identified as the party of Allah (Satan).
She’s dead Jim.
Yeah, VJ (I man BOTH VJs) - go Left - go WAY Left - and keep preaching hatred of Whites.
That’s CLEARLY the way to go.
Democrats have become steadily more socialist/progressive over the last 5 decades
It has worked because they have the entire apparatus of government, our printed/fiat currency, and massive debt behind them
Don’t doubt they will continue to push leftwards, as long as conservatives allow our present monetary and government system to continue.
The obvious solution to the Democrat problem is for them to go ahead and admit that they have long since become Marxists. That should work real well for them.
Yes, one thing the Democrat needs more than anything is more utterly insane ambitious leftist females like Harris.
And now that she’s managed to win an election in half of the most psychotic state in America, she’s literally more important than anyone. Just like Lindsey Graham and “War Hero” John McCain.
I’m still hoping for the ticket of Weiner - Holder, just for the comedic value.
George Soros needs to throw large sums of money at this.
So is their pay for play days.
And their corrupt foundation.
I wonder what Bill Clinton speeches will go for going forward
without the pay for play schemes?
Not much, I predict.
Now, on to the Clinton years,,,,,in prison.
Given the current course and speed of the DNC that ticket is very possible.
Yep, more progressive, the better! Bernie in 2020!
