I really tore into Rep. Ro Khanna a little bit ago for his comments on not wanting small businesses that cannot afford to pay $15/hour and being out-of-touch/arrogant, but out of fairness to him I feel I have to walk that back a little bit. He recently came on Ben Shapiro's show to explain/discuss/debate his position, and while I still think his policy is way off-base and his care for such proprietors is lacking (the discussion really just seemed to highlight that he doesn't have any substantial backing, even contradicting himself a couple times) I'll give credit to anyone willing to both publicly have an open debate on their proposal and to do so with someone on the other side of the aisle. I'll have more respect for even someone who is radical but willing to discuss honestly and hold their principles consistently than a more mainstream politico who will not do either.

EDIT: Link if anyone is interested. I think it's telling to see that all the top comments are giving Khanna credit for coming on, I'd be surprised to see anything of that sort the other way around.
