After Donald Trump's 5 state Primary sweep tonight, that panel member named Vann Jones on CNN is besides himself. Saying that Donald Trump couldn't even graduate 3rd grade, is a major insult.
Jones doesn't realize that the more hate he spews, the more voters gravitate to Trump, and the stronger Trump's support becomes among his followers... like me.
Who the hell is Van Jones anyway? CNN had to dig really deep into the gutter to find a male African American panel member, if he's the best they could come up with.

After his White House appointment, Jones began receiving criticism from media sources such as WorldNetDaily and Fox News commentator Glenn Beck, who featured Jones on fourteen episodes of his show.[37][38] They criticized Jones for his past political activities, including his involvement with STORM (Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement) and his support for Mumia Abu-Jamal, a prisoner sentenced to death for murdering a police officer in a highly controversial trial.[39][40] In July 2009 Color of Change, an organization that Jones founded in 2005 and left in 2007, launched a campaign urging advertisers on Beck's Fox News show to pull their ads, in response to comments by Beck stating President Obama has a "deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."[41] In September 2009, a video on YouTube was circulated of a February 2009 lecture at the Berkeley Energy and Resources Collaborative at which Jones used strong language to refer to Congressional Republican lawmakers, and himself, when conveying that Democrats need to step up the fight. Jones was asked how Republicans could manage to pass measures through the Senate without a supermajority, yet Democrats, with 58 votes of their own, were being blocked by Republicans. Jones explained, "Well, the answer to that is, they're assholes. As a technical, political kind of term. And Barack Obama is not an asshole. Now, I will say this: I can be an asshole, and some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama, are going to have to start getting a little bit uppity."[42][43][44] Jones apologized, "for the offensive words I chose to use during that speech. They do not reflect the views of this administration, which has made every effort to work in a bipartisan fashion, and they do not reflect the experience I have had since I joined the administration."[4
Resignation[edit]
After what Jones described as a "vicious smear campaign" by "opponents of reform [of health care and clean energy]",[48] he resigned on September 5, saying that he could not "in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future".
[48] During an interview on ABC's This Week, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs thanked Jones "for his service to the country" and said that Obama "doesn't endorse" Jones' past comments regarding race relations and politics, and his support for Mumia Abu-Jamal.[40][49] Some liberal commentators expressed continued support for Jones, singling out the efforts of Glenn Beck to force his resignation.[50] Arianna Huffington predicted Beck's efforts would backfire by freeing Jones from being "tied to his desk with a sock in his mouth".[51]
John McWhorter, in The New Republic, related his analysis to the Obama presidency in general, saying that allowing Jones to resign was "spineless".[52]

Americans are finally starting to "get it". Hillary Clinton represents more of the same. Carrying on Obama's policies, minus his effervescent personality, are melting away Hillary supporter's enthusiasm.
In just the past 2 weeks, Donald Trump has closed a 13 point gap to pull within 1 percentage point of Hillary Clinton nationally. Still a long ways to go in this race, but the trend favors Mr. Trump to surpass Hillary very soon.

This is a fascinating read that describes another aspect of why Donald Trump is so Refreshing and Right for America.

My favorite quote from the article: "Since the NEWS MEDIA did not make Donald Trump, the NEWS MEDIA cannot destroy Donald Trump."
It hadn't really occurred to me that most of the other candidates we've seen over the years were virtually unknown, until the news media brought them to the general public's attention. Some in a good way (Bill Clinton). Some in a Bad Way (Hillary Clinton).
But a lot of Americans knew a bit about Donald Trump from multiple sources. For instance, to this day, I've never seen any of Donald Trumps TV shows.. but I knew who he was. Maybe from my Casino visits and hotel stays.

Compare it against Hillary's "Give the Government More of Your Money!" economic plan, and the choice couldn't be easier. It's Donald J. Trump, all the way!
