Levin: Why aren't conservatives LIVID about Trump's minimum wage flip flop?

[ABX]

During a lengthy press conference Wednesday, Trump recanted his former intentions to leave minimum wage alone, instead saying he would raise it to $10 an hour.

Trump has been back-and-forth so often on minimum wage policy it's surprising that he doesn’t have whiplash. At any rate, Mark Levin wasn’t afraid to call Trump out on the flip-flop during his radio program Wednesday night.

“This is economic illiteracy,” said Levin. “Raising the minimum wage eviscerates jobs for the ‘little people’ – the unskilled and no-skilled.”...

Because most companies are already close to paying this now.

Conservatives are livid......the progressive hack Trump junkies are the ones who love big govt' in all it's forms.

Then why did your impudent hero propose it if wages are there already?

There is a reason why larger companies try to push the government for higher minimum wage, they use it as a tool against competitors, especially smaller ones. S-Mart, for example, can eat the cost of a minimum wage hike, but that would destroy mom and pop competitors in most markets, so the wage hike is washed with their taking out a competitor.  As long as they stay ahead of the game and buy the right agenda, they can manipulate it in their favor-

aka, Cronyism

real conservative would be,  if he were their candidate

[Cripplecreek]

Why would his supporters be livid about this? Its just one more blatant lie or flip flop of a long line of them.

Its pretty much par for the course of the Trump campaign since day one beginning with his self funding lie.
We have to let Syrians come here.
BAN ALL MUSLIMS
Ok let some muslims come here

I'll make Trey Gowdy my AG
Trey Gowdy got steamrolled by Clinton and let her go, useless

Putin told me in while we were in the green room.
Putin was in a greenroom for the same show on another continent
I've never met Putin

Rafael Cruz was with Lee Harvey Oswald
No I don't really believe it but I wanted to win
Rafael Cruz has never denied it.

Gonna build a wall to keep murderin rapin mexicans out
but we'll let the good ones back in
and it will be more of a virtual wall.

And on and on and on.

As I've gotten older I think a lot more about my final judgement and I'm real glad I do because I can think about how I'll need to answer.

[Bigun]

Because we are so used to flip flops from Trump!  They happen at a prodigious rate you know!

I'm going to add to your comment about Putin.  In the presser he gave yesterday he actually said he didn't know who Putin was.

"I never met Putin.  I don't know who Putin is."

Whatever conservative credentials you've had you're flushing down the Trump toilet. Minimum wage is a barrier to unskilled employment and you are only making the barrier higher creating more hopelessness.

[LMAO]

Because he's playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers
It's a nothing burger
It will bring in Bernie voters
Companies already are close to paying it, anyways
It takes the issue off the table so the Democrats can't use it against him
Most Americans are for the MW
You only have two choices this election and not voting Trump helps Hillary

These are some of the excuses I've seen.

So high tariffs and raising the minimum wage and universal childcare are supposed to assist in job creation? Let Hillary say the same things that Trump has and his supporters will do a 180 and oppose these things

Yeah but it'll be Trump creating the hopelessness therefore it's ok

Because wall, and veterans, and YUGE! Seriously it's like that ADHD meme: What do we want? A CURE FOR ADHD! When do we want it? SQUIRRELL!
