VIDEODuring Sunday's This Week roundtable on ABC, Democratic activist Van Jones said that Donald Trump's strong position against international trade deals gives him an advantage over Hillary Clinton in the Rust Belt. "He can go into a Michigan. He can go into an Ohio. He can go into a Pennsylvania and say Hillary Clinton signed NAFTA," Jones explained. "And I'll tear it up. And that changes the math."
VAN JONES: Well, listen, I am much more afraid now of Donald Trump than I ever thought I would be because of what he can do in the Rust Belt. He can go into a Michigan. He can go into an Ohio. He can go into a Pennsylvania and say Hillary Clinton signed NAFTA. I'll tear it up. And that changes the math.
He can go and talk to African American voters. People assume African Americans won't listen to Trump. But the reality is there is a wing in the African American party that's been uncomfortable with Mexican immigration and Latino immigration for a long time --
STEPHANOPOULOS: -- Matthew Dowd for a second. If it looks like Donald Trump is going to be the nominee, though, do you see more Mitt Romneys or more Chris Christies... accepting or rejecting Donald Trump on the Republican side?
MATTHEW DOWD: I think there's the establishment now is probably going to stand back and say, wow, we've made a bunch of bad bets in the course of this and maybe us getting involved with some candidate isn't helpful... I think going to the question you asked Van is -- right now the more -- the more -- the stronger general election candidate for the GOP between the two of them is Donald Trump versus Ted Cruz when you look at the general.
