...And people are still voting for this clown, no principles what so ever.

[Nyvin]

To think just ~2 years ago Republicans were going absolutely bonkers when Obama suggested raising it to $10.10....what a difference that ten cents makes huh?

[President Johnson]

He said at least 10$ and states should go even higher.

Populism: Promising anything to anyone until you get elected (beliefs, policies and platforms be damned ).

[Wells]

But I thought wages were too high. . .

[Lief 🗽]

Trump takes three positions in a single interview:

1) no minimum wage
2) raise it to $10
3) leave it to the states

Trump is going hard for the independents and Bernie supporters

Wages are too high for American workers to compete in a global economy, and a living wage for American labourers will remain out of reach for as long as the United States continues to practice free trade.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

The more I read about rural business struggles, the more I think $10 may be best, but I'd like to think most states can handle $12.

[Wells]

If he can take at least three sides on every issue, then every voter will agree with him on everything and he'll get 100% of the votes. Flawless strategy.

You do make a good point. How are Americans going to afford to buy waffles on the current starvation wage? FF Trump.

There's no way he loses support no matter what he says, LOL.  People have concocted this absurd characterization of Trump - outsider, contrarian (to Republicans), tough guy, business genius, etc.  People are supporting him for different reasons, most of them unrelated.  My dad doesn't mind Trump because he thinks Republicans in DC need to pay for allowing too much wasteful spending because they're all in a big "club" together, and Trump is an outsider.  Hilariously, Fuzzy Bear likes the same man because he's under the delusion that Trump will usher in a long era of populist economic policies like protectionism for the Republican Party, sending "business types" (my dad, who's supporting Trump) into the arms of the Democrats, LOL.  Racists are supporting Trump (not saying Trump's racist, though I suspect he is, I'm saying vocal racists like David Duke seem to favor him) because he's their hero fighting against excessive PC culture.  Sanchez (poster) is supporting Trump because he supports a shift away from the churchy GOP dominated by the Religious Right to a more nationalistic, American-first GOP that focuses less on divisive social issues, while Thomas From NJ - a literal Theocrat - is supporting the same man.

This is why Trump's "views" (to the extent he has a coherent set) aren't going to last with a unified bloc within the party.  And thank God.

This guy will say anything for the votes

Tremendous!

I think he'll say everything for votes, lol!

It will never cease to amaze me how incoherent Trump is whenever he tries to speak about even the basic details of policy. He is so obviously not even trying, and it makes the charge that he "has never read a book in his life" all the more believable.

My favorite Trump dodge is "we're gonna take a look at that" when he has no idea what's going on

And at the same time very vocally and enthusiastically recognizes that "we have to figure out what's going on!"

[Beet]

Trump's campaign is just one giant pander. All politicians pander, but usually around a core set of beliefs. Clinton won't say that we should temporarily ban Muslims, even though it might be popular. There's nothing about Trump's campaign that isn't a pander from start to finish. He will literally say anything to get elected. Welcome aboard the minimum wage train, Trump.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Republicans say Hillary will do anything to get elected, but Trump is much worse.
