Again, is it only wrong when a Republican does it ? or is it really, really, really stupendously wrong when Trump does it, but perfectly OK when your guy/girl does it? Hmmmm what's the word for that ?

Wait, so Republicans didn't care about "crony capitalism", and "pay to play", when Clinton or Obama were allegedly doing it? Or do you suddenly no longer care? Careful, I don't want you to hurt yourself from all the twisting you will be doing to try and not be a hypocrite.

I feel like I'm the only person that wanted to eat Carl's Jr less with all the commercials a decade ago with women in bikinis eating nasty, over-sauced burgers, ketchup-mayo mixture dripping all over their faces and bodies. Like, I don't eat McDonald's and their commercials don't make me think "Oh yeah now that's what I want", but I've never seen another food ad campaign that actually left me disgusted. I never ate another Carl's Jr burger after that.

Sensible pick for Trump, controversy is what sold him.

I don't really eat at carls Jr anymore. Their burgers are good but their fries now suck. I'm a fry guy so crappy fries will lose me (not a big deal as I eat fast food maybe once every couple of months).

Despite almost every minimum wage referendum passing and clear national polls showing most people give support, this is the direction he chooses to go. Way to represent the people bigly.

Hey, if we just go by polls, why need a president at all, we'll just use polls for everything. Much cheaper that way too!

That's a silly way to look at it. He should do (or try to do) what he said he was going to try to do. That's what he was elected on. He's not there to do what the polls say.

Yeah the problem for you is that trump speaks out of both sides of his mouth. So which side of his mouth should he stick to his promises? The one where he said the minimum wage is too high or the one where he said it needs to go up?

It's not just minimum wage but overtime and a host of other things. Pence has been doing a good job of picking highly regressive members

Well, yeh, of course. Expect trickle down virga. It's an interesting phenomenon- looks like it's raining, but water never hits the ground.

Yep Trump has said multiple times the min wage should go up. Both federally and by the states individually. Then he said other times like at a debate that the min wage should not go up.

He always gives people a chance to pick out what they want to hear by coming down on both sides of any issue, sometimes in the same sentence, I suspect. He holds 'em in thrall by letting them believe what they want to believe.

He may be the greatest con artist who ever walked the face of the earth.

He's too obvious to be considered any better than mediocre. Nigerian scammers and mimickers are far better.
