Trump now open to raising the minimum wage

He's a nut, but part of me - my dark, irresponsible, fried chicken eatin', whiskey drinking, smoking, fart at a funeral side - wants him to win and watch him appoint pro-choice supremes and bully through universal health care. My rational side knows we all need divine protection if that crazy bastard gets in.
I'm sort of the same way, but coming at it from a slightly different angle
This is just another wishful thinking MSM story. They asked Trump about raising the minimum wage and he gave a Trump stock answer, something to the effect of "we're going to take a look at it" or "sure, we're going to look at that". The press then put it out Trump is for raising the minimum wage.
You won't be able to believe a damn thing most of the media reports this election season. The good news is they can't help put but Trump on because his ratings are through the roof. So you'll get to hear exactly what he has to say for yourselves, if you watch.
Systers pipe dream about Trump governing as a lib is fantasy. He's certainly not going to be a neocon but he will surround himself with conservatives and he'll appoint conservative judges and that's the most important things.
The next President is going to nominate up to 3 or more SCJ's. If Hillary get's in this country will be screwed for at least 30 years. She has to be stopped even if that means holding your nose and voting Trump.

He actually said he is looking at it and open to doing something about it (the minimum wage), after stating that he was opposed to raising it in November.
In his defense 6 months is equal to 25 trump years when changing positions on an issue for the Donald.
My admittedly somewhat anarchist 'F-You, don't tell me what to do' side wants Trump to win because I hate politicians and both parties and want to see it wrecked completely and have them all de-pantsed before the entire world by a reality TV guy.
Not going to lie. I am enjoying it and will absolutely root for Trump to abuse Hillary like a baby seal in the GE, but I'm still voting for this guy.

Mega did you take up smoking weed in the last ten years? I thought you told a story about having to call an ambulance when you smoked out once. Did I make that up?
I didn't take up smoking weed as a habit, no. But I partake occasionally.
You didn't make it up. But although the popular opinion is that I just got super stoned and paranoid and had a massive panic attack (possible I guess), amphetamine laced pot actually is a thing and I never had an issue with weed before or since. While as self-deprecating stories go, this is pretty funny in retrospect. It's still not as good as my Bieber concert story.

My favorite so far is a picture that says "Feel the Johnson: He'll blow a whole load of Liberty all over your face."
I don't have a way to post them here. If someone wants to I can text them
Fascinating article from January citing Trump's 1990 Playboy interview.
Another game: What’s the first thing President Trump would do upon entering the Oval Office?
Many things. A toughness of attitude would prevail. I’d throw a tax on every Mercedes-Benz rolling into this country and on all Japanese products, and we’d have wonderful allies again.
You categorically don’t want to be President?
I don’t want to be President. I’m one hundred percent sure. I’d change my mind only if I saw this country continue to go down the tube.

The #NeverTrump crowd was busy trying to conjure up another bullsh*t war. Those jackasses have all but said that they will vote for Hillary instead of Trump. F*ck em is right.
Yup, Hillary will pivot right. Although I must admit. Running against Bernie has made given the illusion she's more centrist than she ever has been or will be.
She is as bought by monied interests as anyone in recent memory - but that isn't a liberal or conservative attribute. She is left of center on guns, reproductive rights, income inequality, and support of ACA - just a few off the top of my head. I agree with her on most of these issues, but lets be honest these are center left to left positions.
Outside of this subjective measure, HRC tracks with the traditionally more liberal wing of Dems per DW-Nominate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOMINATE_(scaling_method)).
Socialized medicine
Partial birth abortions
She would take Obamas executive actions regarding immigration even further
Gun control
Wealth redistribution via the tax code
Wrong guy to do that... over dinner tonight my 10 year old was explaining to my much more liberal wife why she can't get behind Hills - daggers were coming my way.
A few weeks ago my five year old was chanting ru be o! Ru be o! While my 2 yr old was chanting trump! Trump! It was almost a fist fight.
My 8 yo has taken the "Damn the Torpedoes" approach - leaning Trump just to see the sucka burn... We were talking about a vacation in Mexico this summer and he was saying "don't worry, we can just fly over the wall..."
FYI the question was how is she liberal. I was providing an easy example.
I've got a few issues but the main one is pretty simple - don't f with the Constitution.
Beyond that, I'm pro gay marriage, pro drug legalization, don't care about the idiotic bathroom debate and want the fewest barriers for small business. I've been against our Middle East wars but I feel Isis are modern day nazis who need to be crushed.
While I agree the "idiotic bathroom debate" in and of itself is about #1,000 on our list of actual problems, it is symptomatic of what underlies a lot of other issues. It also definitely comes under the heading of F'ing with the Constitution when this joke of a DOJ invokes Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to say that NC is in violation.
