Suppose I told you that Hillary Clinton is running as a political moderate (i.e. her sudden lurch back to the left somehow does not count), was a “mainstream, moderate, pro-business” Senator (try to find a major issue her senate votes were not on the left side of), and that Bernie Sanders, a self-professed socialist is part of the Democrat Party\’s “economic populist wing” who, if he can rally the “racial justice” wing of the party – defined as the “Black lives matter” and “young dreamers” (i.e. illegals) – he will win the nomination instead of Clinton.
Wondering what planet that came from?
It came from Planet Van Jones, speaking on Jake Tapper\’s State Of The Union show yesterday morning. Jones, you might recall is, himself, a self-professed communist….and was a valued member of the Obama Administration – just like senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, who comes from a family of communists and has been one of Barack Obama\’s closest confidantes, maybe the single closest, throughout his presidency.
Want proof that Jones actually concocted this “analysis”? No problem. Newsbusters.org\’s Tim Graham has the video, along with his take on what it means. Click here to see it.
Then remember what you just saw, when you watch where Hillary Clinton continues to twist and turn in her thoroughly scripted, thoroughly poll-driven campaign. (But don\’t bother doing the same with Bernie Sanders: to Sanders\’ credit, his views do not change with every new political opportunity.)
Welcome to today\’s Democrat Party.
