Van Jones revisits three Trump voters as nation grapples with unrest

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/19/politics/van-jones-trump-voters/index.html

One guy is a lifelong Democrat who voted for trump in 2016 and is fed up with him, is leaning towards voting for him again...,may change his mind and vote for Biden if either Kamala Harris or Michele Obama are picked for VP. Really? That doesn’t make any sense and is one hell of a swing that you would go from Trump to Biden if Biden picks someone who is actually more liberal than him, but vote for Trump otherwise.

Another guy is black and has been a Republican all his life. The only time he voted for a Democrat was in 2008 when he voted for Obama, but was disappointed that he didn’t do more for black people. Again really, a black republican whose main concern is black people issues, but votes republican.

The thinking of some people just amazes me...SMH

why are they not finding voters that voted trump and now will not do it again?

instead they will find the wack jobs that are too stupid or evil to change. We know they exist, why are they important to highlight? trump can lose the election if just a small people who voted for him last time don't do it again and/or if we get out our vote.

van jones is an idiot.

can count on zero fingers the number of times the media has done interviews with groups of Hillary voters to ask what they think of the country.

From 2009-2016, they rarely, if ever, covered the supporters of the sitting president, instead obsessing over his opposition, e.g., the Tea Party and their ilk.

Now that Trump is president, they can't be bothered to cover HIS opposition. Instead, they focus almost exclusively on his supporters - who happen to be the same people they covered when Obama was president.
