Van Jones wasn't befuddled. Watch the clip below.
Jones is one of those far-leftists who has his flashes of clarity and brutal honesty, and last night was one of those times. And he's right: That was the moment. It was Trump's supreme moment. When the country saw Carryn Owens, the widow of Navy SEAL William "Ryan" Owens, who was killed in the recent Yemen military raid, this administration's "presidential" moment hit home. And you can't take that away from President Trump. That's what Van Jones says. And if you were watching last night, some of the other best moments were when the cameras panned across the bitter, visceral stone-cold hateful faces of defeated Democrats. Frankly, I think they're still in shock from November, and when Trump clearly stuck to script and hit massively bipartisan points that couldn't not be applauded, the reality of political grimness for the Democrats came into even sharper focus. (It's a glorious time to be conservative, man.)
Van Jones says we may very well have this president for 8 years, and that's what I'm hoping for. That's what I'm praying for. And that's what I'll be working for, to the best and hardest of my ability. President Trump, more than any time I can recall, proved that he's the man we need for this country at this moment in history. It was freakin' beautiful.
From Charles Hurt, at the Washington Times, "Trump speech leaves Democrats befuddled, in ruins, with question marks." (At Memeorandum.)
