During a panel discussion on Sunday's Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd and NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell agreed that the idea of repealing Obamacare is "so retro," and having that as a platform is "a waste of time" for Republicans.

The panel was discussing Sen. Rand Paul's (R-KY) earlier appearance on the show. Todd and Mitchell were both in agreement that the senator "has figured it out" -- meaning, he is taking a more positive spin as a Republican in reaching out to minorities and bringing less emphasis on voter ID laws. But his call for repealing Obamacare? Well, that is "so retro."

Here is the conversation with the panelists:

Todd: Let’s get quick reaction from the panel. Joe, I saw you -- 

Joe Scarborough: We were saying during the break, I said Republicans are going to have to have a positive agenda. Republicans that are out there in red states talking about cutting education, cutting infrastructure, cutting R&D are losing, even losing among Republicans. And remember, I said five minutes ago, they’re going to have to start talking about more than just cutting. [Rand Paul] just did. 

Todd: Rand Paul reads polls. Rand Paul has figured this out. 

Andrea Mitchell: He’s figured it out. That is smart, except for the repeal of of ObamaCare which is a waste of time, it contributes to gridlock.

Todd: And it's going to set the wrong tone. 

Mitchell: It’s so retro. 

Todd: Like, how do they do it?
