Now, look, you voted against the minimum wage every time you had a chance to in the Congress. If you had your vote, it would still be $2.30 an hour. Now you say you're for it.

Now you say, well, where are you this week on Reaganomics? I'm not sure. And the next president of the United States has to be someone the American people can believe will stay with his convictions.
