CNN Van Jones praises President Trump and said he finally is the President

Posted on 02/28/2017 7:45:31 PM PST by Bigtigermike

The Ryan Owens remarks to his widow was Presidential and that it was the 'moment' that should scare detractors if Trump keeps it up because they can no longer call him cartoonish character. He said while he disagreed with other parts of Presidents speech he saw him display qualities that will signal that Trump will be President for 8 years

Wow, and outright Black Communist is capitulating. President Trump owned that room tonight. And I really liked the Democrat Mormon Tabernacle Choir Women’s section. Unfortunately, I don’t think they’d be welcome in Salt Lake City!

I saw stunned fear in the eyes of the ‘RAT congresscritters as they watched this monumental speech. They are nothing next to Trump’s impending GREATNESS.

Trump’s ability to influence people is other-worldly.

Old people like him, young people too. Rich, poor. Male, female, blacks, Mexicans.

Union bosses, Japanese.

Me and VAN JONES..??

It will harder for dems to demagogue this speech. For one thing we spoke softly but strongly and no longer sounded like he was running for office. He also was not confrontational and acted like he was willing to deal with dems. Not ideal from a conservative standpoint but a president is not a dictator and has to negotiate.

False;

On May 2, 2016:

CNN contributor and former Obama aide Van Jones put out a warning to his fellow Democrats on Friday: Donald Trump is probably going to win the White House. In the Facebook video, Jones credited Trump’s ability to understand and use social media and reality television as well as his appeal to black voters as reasons he will likely win the White House in November.

Jones likened Trump to Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama in the sense that they all excelled in a new medium that no other politician could easily master.

“Just like FDR changed the rules of the game because he mastered radio, he was able to take radio and just completely master that — then you had JFK and JFK was able to master television — new medium, new master, new president,” Jones said.

“The same thing is happening with Trump,” he continued. “It’s a new media era, the era of social media, especially Twitter and reality television.” He continued to detail how Trump has been able to use his celebrity to appeal to parts of the Democratic base, especially black voters.

“70 percent of African Americans have a horrible view of Donald Trump,” Jones continued. “In order for the Democrats to win the White House they don’t have to get 50 percent of the black vote or 60, or 70, or 80, or 90, Democrats in order to win historically need 90 to 92 percent of the black vote.”

“If only 70 percent don’t like Donald Trump, that means 30 percent are open to his argument, if he gets half of those, he’s president,” Jones said. A Public Policy Polling report released on Monday showed Jones might be correct in his opinion that Trump is winning over large segments of the Democratic Party’s most loyal voting bloc. The poll showed that in the swing state of Ohio, Trump would garner 15 percent of the African American vote against Clinton, with another 11 percent undecided. That is huge increase from the 4 percent of the black vote Mitt Romney received in Ohio during the last presidential election.

Most Trump supporters knew he had this in him, but they just don’t care about his style or optics. for those that need to see to believe, tonight was a turning point. It is now socially acceptable to come over to his side......
