Minimum Wage: Trump's Shift to the Left

Early in the Republican presidential nomination contest, Donald Trump was accused of having Leftist views. He denied this. From The Hill:

During a November debate, Trump voiced opposition to raising the minimum wage.  

“I hate to say it, but we have to leave it the way it is,” he said during the debate.

Now we see the leopard's real spots:

In a reversal, Donald Trump expressed openness to raising the federal minimum wage during an interview on Wednesday. 

“I'm looking at that, I'm very different from most Republicans,” the presumptive GOP presidential nominee told CNN Wednesday about the prospect of increasing wages. 

You will get no argument from me on that, Donald. Heck, you are very different from most Americans!

As for the other candidates...

--Hillary Clinton supports a $15 minimum wage.
--Libertarian Gary Johnson is opposed to a national minimum wage law:



--Libertarian Austin Petersen is actually for eliminating the minimum wage:
