The cluelessness of the liberal media and the Democrats has been something to see since the election.
They’re still trying to figure it out and wrap their minds around how President-elect Donald Trump won.
One of the few people who gets it is CNN’s Van Jones. As we reported, he explained how Trump got the rise of new media and made use of that, that the legacy mainstream media was the “fringe” and the “fringe” was now the mainstream.
Former CNN commenter Chris Cillizza asked him about that. This truly explains how clueless Democrats are.
“How the hell did Donald Trump figure out that the mainstream media is the fringe and the fringe is now the mainstream…The 78 year old guy who doesn’t even have a computer and still, like, writes handwritten notes? How did he become the guy who cracked the code?” Cillizza asked.
Van Jones calls out liberal media figures for habitually saying that Trump is stupid, and notes that mainstream media figures are the ones that end up ‘looking like idiots’:

Um, because it’s obvious, if your eyes are open? If you’re able to count the numbers that the new media is getting versus the old? Because Trump’s eyes are open? It’s not a huge mystery, there’s no deep code to crack. Meanwhile the Democrats were still stuck back, bragging about “door knocking.”
Chris Cillizza said you could see Joe Rogan was a good idea. Yes, but Kamala Harris couldn’t even do that, that’s how messed up the Democrats were.
Jones credited Elon Musk for Trump’s understanding. Actually it was Barron Trump who suggested going on the podcasts. But It was also because Donald Trump is a smart man. He isn’t a word salad brain like Kamala Harris. He was open to talking to everyone, anywhere, even with people who were going to attack him to reach out to people and he had concrete policies and answers. Unlike Kamala Harris. You’re talking about a guy who was able to survive and triumph over everything thrown against him, get shot in the ear and stand up shouting, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
But here’s where Van really got it.
Everybody keeps I mean, the problem is you have a framework in your mind that how can Donald Trump, how could Donald Trump? Guys can we cut it out? Donald Trump is not an idiot. Donald Trump, let me just be very clear. Donald Trump is smarter than me, you, and all critics. You know how I know? Because he has the White House, the Senate, the House, the popular vote…
He said Trump had the “fervor” of a political movement around him, and his “best buddy” is the “richest person in the history of the world,” and “the most relevant Kennedy is with him.”
This dude is a phenomenon. He is the most powerful human on earth and in our lifetime. And we’re still saying, Well, how is this guy [doing it]? We look like idiots.
Cillizza completely agreed.
Kudos to Van for being honest.
But most of the Democrats and the liberal media are still stunned, blaming everyone else but themselves and still calling Trump Hitler, not getting that doesn’t fly and no one believes them. And they’re not going to like what Van had to say because it upends all their narrative for almost a decade.
