Hillary Clinton's plan for the minimum wage: low on details, and has

seemingly punted the idea of a federal minimum wage.

snip

Among those opposing raising the federal minimum wage are businesses big and large. As she has campaigned the past few months, more than once Clinton has said she wants to be a small-business president, and referring the issue of minimum wage increases to local government could be just the way to win them over.

Other Democratic presidential candidates have a different approach.

And while Clinton might be taking heat from her own party, those on the Republican side share a similar sentiment – that the minimum wage should be left to the individual states. In March, while speaking at a campaign stop in South Carolina, Jeb Bush said that the raising of wages should be left to the private sector and local governments.

At that time, the Democratic National Committee criticized Bush for siding with big corporations instead of working families.

and these proves that she is not the right person for the nomination.

Bernie will #bern Clinton in the debates and voters will realize what a fake Clinton is.
