As a vanity, this qualifies as my political prediction for the 2028 presidential race.

Rohit Khanna, aka Ro Khanna is the Dem rep for their 17th district.

I was listening to Fox News on Sirius this AM and heard him interviewed. Not sure who from what network did the interview, but I think it was Fox.

Point is, he came across as rational, moderate, sincere, well-spoken, intelligent, personable, and willing to criticize the existing Democrat party, end-to-end. (Dare I say clean and articulate?) He is of Indian descent. He could give Vivek Ramaswamy a good fight for who is the smoothest, the most glib. He was like an NPR radio host without the insufferable smugness.

He focused on creating a positive message that appeals to all Americans, as opposed to identity politics.

*IF* you didn't know who he was, listening to him you could have thought he was a 1980s Reagan republican.

I recall watching Obama speak speak at the Dem convention in Boston, 2004 and telling my wife - "he will be the next winning Democrat candidate."

Well, I am posting my prediction here -- Ro Khanna will be the next winning Dem presidential candidate.

Some folks think Harold Ford, Jr is the best bet for the Democrats. But since he’s not a radical, he doesn’t stand a chance.

The democrats have not reached a point yet where they will pinup a Presidential candidate who doesnโ€™t toe the far left line.

Ro Khanna? Nope. He reminds of young Rowan Atkinson, a bit. Less amusing.

Ro Khanna only seems rational when compared the chorus of loony leftists that run the Democrat Party. It’s just a facade. He’s a loon, too.

They will go with Beshear, because they need a Bill Clinton slick type to bring back the center.

Is he an independent thinker or is he a weak minded follower? Democrats need the latter because for them, the person in the White House is a figurehead that needs to do as told.

The “D” next to anyone’s name means one thing.

Disqualified.

If Ro Khanna’s parents were foreigners here on student visas when he was born I don’t think he is eligible to be president.

The DIMs are intent on forcing another "woman" to be president.

If twice you don't succeed, but crash and burn, try again forever and blame everyone else for your failures as the DIM saying goes...

Sounds like a real winner... From Wikipedia

“Khanna endorsed Bernie Sanders for president of the United States in 2016.[1] In 2020, Khanna co-chaired the Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign.”

So is this the beginning backstory to who becomes Khan Noonien Singh? Amazing how old science fiction later becomes fact. You gotta love those old Star Trek episodes.

After Trump/Musk/Vance get done will Illegal Immigration, Election Reform, and DOGEing the Federal government, the Dems will have such a minority status that they won’t be able to wi a majority in either rhe House or Senate, much less the Presidency for a minimum of 30 years.

Also, too bad the rest of the Demoncrat party leadership is too extreme, stupid, and Marxist to falsely moderate their policies positions like this liar.

Right now, Mr. Khanna is just a member of Congress...

I do not see a Congressman becoming the Democratic nominee in 2028...

Mr. Khanna should run for a statewide job in CA if he is ever interested in running for President...Remember, Obama ran for President while being a member of US Senate...
