CNN’s Van Jones Suggests Every 2020 Democrat Is Only ‘Partially’ Able to Take on Trump

CNN analyst Van Jones is not so sure there is a 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful that can fully take on President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

During a CNN segment on Tuesday, Jones said, “It just feels like everybody is partially able to take on Trump but not really.”

He continued to make a comparison to “The Avengers” against comic supervillain Thanos:

“It’s like you’ve got the Avengers against Thanos, right? If you had Thor’s this, and Hulk’s that. If you had this, if you had that. But there is no one candidate yet that everybody feels can actually go up against Thanos and beat him.”

His comments came as there were 37% of the votes in.

Earlier, he praised Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as a “phenomenon.”

“He’s doing stuff we don’t talk about enough, he’s appealing to young people and people of color … He’s got an army of unbelievable donors. If anybody else had all that we’d be saying this guy is our guy,” Jones said, adding, “But for whatever reason, we continue to talk about everybody but 👤Bernie Sanders.”

Additionally, Jones suggested that Democratic voters are “depressed.” He added, “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,” Jones continued. “People are sad and depressed, and people just want somebody to vote for against Trump.”

With 97% of the votes in early Wednesday, Sanders had a narrow victory ahead of former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
