No, he opposed the minimum wage as a concept.

I thought that was it, but didn't want to overextend myself because I wasn't sure. He wasn't (or rather, wouldn't have been) in a position to eliminate it, but I knew he was adamant about not raising it.
 
Thank Christ, dude was an asshole. Among the policies he was in favor of was an decrease of the minimum wage, elimination of restrictions for lunch breaks and paid overtime, and eliminating benefits and paid sick leave.

Basically, dude wanted all the power in this country to go to businesses, and zero to go to workers.

He was ok if you discount the allegations that he beat his wife. So yes, bad pick.

Obviously a shitty person, but it's amazing to me that a personal scandal like this seems to matter more than allowing a completely unqualified person from holding a position that she clearly has no right holding.
