Van Jones: ‘Democrats Should Be Very Worried’ about ‘Riveting’ 2016 GOP Field

Van Jones gave rare praise to the Republican Party on Sunday morning when he said Democrats need to be “very worried” about the “riveting” and diverse field of potential GOP presidential candidates.

Jones praised the diversity of the field of candidates as it is currently taking shape: “This is gonna be the greatest show on Earth. They are beginning to look like the rainbow coalition. You may have a field where you have two Latinos — Cruz and Rubio — you can have an Asian, Jindal, you could have a woman, Carly Fiorina, you could have a black guy, Herman Cain [sic].”

All of this, Jones said, means Democrats should be “very worried” about the upcoming Republican primary that could be full of “superstars.”

“And suddenly, you’ve got a very riveting primary on their side, nothing on our side,” he added. “I think Democrats should be very worried about that.”
