Rick Santorum Get's Feisty at the Kid;s Table By Pushing a Higher Minimum Wage

Mostly this is a pageant for four GOP candidates-Christie should be the fifth-who don't have a prayer winning the nomination-which makes it kind of funny that they were all talking about how Trump can't win-especially Pataki

Then they argued about who would be toughest on illegal immigrants-though Lindsay got a little feisty about how Hispanics are Americans.

Santorum took the hardest line and claimed that the rest of the kid's table all want the a-word: amnesty. .

On the other hand Graham is running as the world's most vociferous military hawk and is drawing all kinds of red lines that the other candidates he says need to agree to.

He is sort of the GOP's answer to Lawrence Lessig

Lessig's single issue is money in politics. Graham's is ISIS. He's sort of the Dick Cheney candidate-though in all fairness he is a lock more likable than Cheney; though that's true of virtually anyone on the planet.

Then Santorum went on a little populist jag about how the GOP risks turning the working stiffs off if they all want to run on cutting the MW.

He used good logic here, pointing out that refusing to raise it is a cut-as inflation will cut into it.

But don't get too excited, he's also the one who defended Kim Davis-as did Jindal. J

In fact Bobby Jindal wants a litmus test on his Supreme Court nominees-if we humor the fiction that he will every breath the Oval Office.

I've tried to give you the highlights but this kid's table debate sure is boring. For once the adult's table is more exciting hand's down.

If Christie had been here it wouldn't have been so dull.

P.S. Jindal is now demanding the 'Nuclear Option' to stop the Iran Deal. Eliminate the filibuster in other words.

It's actually quite funny listening to Lindsay Graham trying to explain to Jindal how reality actually works-how ending the filibuster wouldn't stop the Iran deal anyway.

I almost feel sorry for Lindsay there-trying to explain things to a guy with this thick a head.

He actually said he's sick of Ted Cruz's theatrics and all the crazy promises the Tea Party demands that they can't every actually do.
