Death Penalty? Oh, hell, no, except in very rare instances.

$15/hour minimum wage? YES, but not now and not everywhere and we can't hurt our job creators like that.

Single-Payer? No, let's not allow the perfect to be the enemy of the mediocre.

Trade Agreements? NO!, but OK,Yes, and we must insist on environmental and worker values!!11!!1 (see how compassionate?)

It's tragic.
