Former Barack Obama adviser Van Jones argued Thursday that the energy at this week’s Republican National Convention was comparable to what he saw when the nation’s first black president was first nominated in 2008.
Jones, now a CNN senior political commentator, talked about the palpable “spirit” and enthusiasm he could feel among the people at the RNC.
After CNN contributor Scott Jennings spoke with excitement about wrestler Hulk Hogan, UFC head Dana White and former President Donald Trump’s upcoming speeches at the RNC, Jones said, “This spirit that this guy [Jennings] has, you guys think it’s because he’s drunk, he’s not, this whole thing is like this.”
“The last time I was at a convention that felt like this was Obama 2008. There’s something happening,” he said.

Good one, Dylan if memory serves
How the hell did we ever elect a Black Muslim after 2001...
Look out CNN - it could be a MOVEMENT.
Hey Van,
Did you feel that… Tingle running up your leg?..”
Yes. Ballad of a Thin Man.
Donald Trump was already ‘Articulate and Bright and Clean’ before Obama ever showed up. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
Thanks for this
Anyone who has not seen the Ugandan kids is missing it

Yep. I think it was looney tunes Keith Olbermann.
Ballad of a Thin Man
I hope and pray and wish with all my heart the Trump will be the next president as this country is in dire need of someone like him. However I suggest being cautious and don’t count your chickens before they are hatched as we haven’t seen all the tricks yet liberals are liable to pull,including a somehow camouflaged attempt to put him out of commission..
The only thing was his skin color. Nothing else mattered.
Nonsense from the local Communist.
McCain was a only slightly better mentally than Biden is right now with a GOP leadership at the time who was convinced you won wars by always being on the defense.
Van Jones secretly wants Trump to win because he thinks people will start watching CNN again - trying to keep his grift going
I never get tired of seeing those kids.
My stomach hurts from laughing; how on earth did these kids see this???
wow....thanks
Ugh. I watched the Ugandan kids like 8 times
Cracks me up
You can’t fool old Jones.
