Live-blogging the GOP debate
Who would expect that Ben Carson would give a better answer explaining the economics of raising the minimum wage in everyday understandable terms than Donald Trump? Maybe they didn't teach that at the Wharton school. And he does well relating his biography to the point he's making.
He almost stole schtick of relating his biography to his answer. So Rubio is forced to do almost the same thing. Though Rubio carries the argument further. I hope the public is listening to these explanations of why a $15 minimum wage is a bad thing. I also like the line that we need more welders than philosophers. Those in the ivory towers are shuddering in derision.
Now John Kasich is trying to point out that his parents were poor also. But he doesn't connect that up to the minimum wage. It just seems like me-tooism.
It's a nice change to have substantive questions from the get-go, instead of questions trying to pit each candidate against another or to probe the weaknesses of each.
Shush up, John Kasich. Why don't the moderators stop that right away so they don't all do it?
