I wonder if/when SCF will pull the plug on him.

How many conservative voters does he turn off with that stance?

Well Tom, just don’t raise it a bit. Do it right. Make it $50 per hour.

When politicians follow political winds, as reflected in polling data...
Polls showed the minimum wage issue as a popular one - (not vouching for the validity of the data - just stating what has been recorded). Pryor was supposedly gaining back lost ground on this issue... so Cotton followed advice from his handlers and is playing the advocate.
Now - the real story - who is ginning up the numbers?

Another vote for a federal minimum wage increase in Congress. The article is not about that.
To: House Atreides
It’s an Arkansas ballot initiative folks, not a piece of legislation.

Well Tom, just don’t raise it a bit. Do it right. Make it $50 per hour. What the heck, might as well make it $5000 per hour. And throw in rainbows and a unicorn for every hour of overtime.

Probably much more than he thinks he will gain.
Bad move by Cotton.

Cotton probably figures the people of AR don’t understand the concept of the minimum wage, and he is “cottoning” to them. Of course, he could well lose his race. No Pryor has lost since 1972.

It will never get to the floor in an GOP House and Senate.

...a move that could muddle a major attack from Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.)Sure, fend off an accusation by becoming one with the accuser - that'll fire up the Conservative base /s

Cotton probably thinks that he would be unable to educate voters regarding the issue, and would give democrats the opportunity to pound him as heartless, hating the poor, in order to take the focus off Pryor and his liberal voting record. Politics is compromise, and you have to pick your fights carefully.
