Van Jones: 'People are depressed' by primary process, just want 'somebody to vote for against Trump'

CNN analyst Van Jones on Tuesday said he thinks that Democratic voters "are depressed" and "sad" over the Democratic primary process, saying that it is a "messy, confusing choice" and Democrats "just want somebody to vote for against Trump."

“I think people are depressed,” Jones said while discussing the large split of Democratic votes. “I think people are sad. I think people can't figure out which of the people they're supposed to vote for, and people are waiting to come out and vote against Trump.”

"This is a messy, confusing choice," the former Obama adviser continued. "People are sad and depressed, and people just want somebody to vote for against Trump."

Jones also called Sanders "a phenomenon" but noted the media talks "about everybody but Bernie" for "whatever reason."

"Bernie Sanders is a phenomenon," he said. "He doesn't get attention. People don't talk about him."

"He's doing stuff we don't talk about, he appeals to young people, people of color, he's got an army of donors," Jones continued. "If anybody else had all that we'd say this guy is our guy. But for whatever reason we talk about everybody but Bernie."

The Nevada caucuses will be held on Feb. 22, with the next Democratic debate in Las Vegas happening on Feb. 19.

Democrats "just want somebody to vote for against Trump."

What they want is somebody they have under their thumb who YOU will vote for against Trump.

I’m waiting for Lopez Obador to finish second in the California primary behind whichever person the Dems rigged to win it outright.

By saying people he means everyone. How delusional do you have to be to project your feelings onto every other human being.

I see what you did there.

Since the Democrats push the identity politics so much, Lopez Obador would have a strong base of support in California.

They’re sad and depressed because they’re mentally ill. To be a Democrat todays means you’re either a communist or you’re mentally ill, and the communists are already behind Bernie.

Caesar Chavez wasn’t a dictator, he was a farm worker union leader.

I said this to one of my prog friends years ago. Dems trade government for their mommies, they can’t self actualize.

Vote for Van Jones. He’s as much a Communist as any of the others.

Van Jones is like a crazy weather vain blowing this way and that way in the wind. One minute Trump is evil, next minute he’s helping the evil one, next minute he’s back saying Trump is evil. There are two things that account for this insanity: 1) He think’s he’s cool 2) He’s ambitious. The coolness has a lot to do with being a democrat and ambition means he will side with enemy. So you never know what is what with that guy.
