May the flip-flopping commence
I guess Trump's new con is to just say the opposite of what he has been saying through the primaries hoping Americans all get mass amnesia.
Trump 'blindsided' by Ryan, flip-flops with 'change' on minimum wage
"By the time it gets negotiated, it's going to be a different plan. ... On my plan, (tax rates) are going down. But by the time it's negotiated, they'll go up."
Trump now says that flip flopping, or talking out of both sides of his mouth, is A-OK.... But watch him attack Hillary for any modifications in her message. He's already attacking her for not leaving her husband for his philandering, while expecting no one to remember his own, and his sexist, demeaning comments about women.
"And I don't know how people make it on $7.25 an hour. Now with that being said, I would like to see an increase of some magnitude, but I’d rather leave it to the states. Let the states decide. Because don't forget, the states have to compete with each other", he also said.
If you don't think that people can make it on that pittance, then establish a national minimum wage that people can live on. Then, if states want to go over that, they can. I don't see where else that line of thought can go, unless he wants to say that competition between states is more important than actual people surviving on their paychecks.
There are just literally so many ways he is so full of shit, it boggles the mind.
Next he will say he wants to bring in refugees and the border wall was just a joke.

At any cost....
Your kids want a pet crocodile...and even though you know its a bad idea - you couldn't get your point across in time (maybe because you picked a pet goldfish in '08 and a pet rock in '12 - and your pet picking duties have pretty much been revoked). So now you have to be the asshole that says no, or the asshole that lets your kids have a pet crocodile....
(a few more drinks and I'll wrap this analogy up....or everyone else can have a few and maybe it will make sense)
Update....
The bad news is - somehow....you're an asshole for saying no, and also an asshole for letting them have a pet crocodile. It's a lose lose - now you have new choices (they'll probably be lose-lose too)
Accomodate the crocodile - feed it special crocodile food and kiss it's crocodile ass and act like you wanted it all along.
or...
Get your own pet - and give it all your attention - knowing that ultimately, the crocodile is going to eat it (or call it stupid and ugly, then eat it).
Choose wisely....

Look what you've done!!!
