Speaking during CNN’s analysis of the first 2016 Republican presidential debate on Thursday night, CNN political commentator and former Obama White House adviser Van Jones panned Jeb Bush’s performance as “terrible” and “like oatmeal getting colder” but praised Ohio Governor John Kasich as “just unreal,” “emotional,” and an “authentic guy who cares.” 

Asked by host Anderson Cooper for his thoughts on the debate, Jones came out immediately in stating that Bush “just did terrible” and made his brother and former President George W. Bush “look both eloquent and brilliant.”
