Ro Khanna: Bernie has already won the "Ideas Primary" (MSNBC)

[brooklynite]

If only ideas voted...

1. LOL.

[Cha]

2. No

[TexasTowelie]

3. A consolation prize,

similar to Miss Congeniality at beauty pageants.

6. When you get that you know you're not winning.

4. That and two bucks will get him a cup of coffee...nt

5. Whatever makes him feel better. nt

7. He didn't even win that! I'd say Warren won that

[dalton99a]

18. +1.

8. Lord.

9. I'll happily admit that if it makes Bernie and his followers join the bandwagon.

The fact that we have always supported most his ideas need not be mentioned. We had them before he came on the scene. But you can’t implement ideas by fiat.

10. If he really believes that all ideas originated

with Sanders and that Sanders’ ideas have won over Democrats, then has he wondered that it might be Sanders and his tactics that voters don’t like?

11. But his ideas are shit

M4A is not a realistic approach to actually solving the problem of providing healthcare. And by promising something he can't deliver, he actually does more harm by preventing more achievable goals from being accomplished.

12. How many delegates does that net him?

Just wondering...

[gollygee]

13. Ideas that he can never actually put into practice

He's just throwing stuff out there, not actually creating usable ideas.

14. I respect Ro Khanna

but that’s irrelevant. This primary is about coalition building and getting thing back on track. I like Bernie’s and Liz’s ideas also, but now is not the time.

[Dem4Life1102]

15. One of the reasons I voted for Sanders in 16

was because I liked his ideas and wanted to move the Democratic party more in that direction.

[LanternWaste]

16. The important thing is to minimize and trivialize ideas

I realize how upsetting they can be.

Good luck in your endeavor!

17. His ideas are popular. That is an accomplishment that may pay future dividends. In some cycles

successfully promoting popular ideas might have led to winning a nomination. That may have been Bernie's plan but, always, perceived electability and personality are also factors. In this cycle the latter factors are outweighing the former.

We will have European/Canadian style health care, safety net and income equality some day. Bernie proving the popularity of those concepts in the US will play a role in hastening that day.
