Instead of a sensible counter proposal of say $12.50/hr the GOP says no raise. This is why the GOP will always struggle.

Agreed. They always seem to let things ride until they appear unreasonable to a majority of people. Just like how they've never met an abusive banking practice they wouldn't defend (leading to the rise of Fauxahontas). In that sense taking a principled stand against ANY minimum would be preferable to supporting one that is laughably outdated.

That being said, this is all about goosing low-income turnout next November.
