If the gender pay gap was true, why would corporations hire men if they could get away with paying women less?

It's illegal to do so anyways due to the Equal Pay Act.

Not one single credible economist takes the gender pay gap seriously.

I really don't understand the agenda behind it. In the process of -believe in yourself -> work hard and don't give up -> earn what you deserve -> be happy with it or start all over- i guess what holds women back (as well as men for that matter) lies in the first couple steps. Expecting more for doing less is pathetic.

Previous campaigns were on a completely different level intellectually speaking. I have to say I have never seen a presidential candidate question the size of another candidate's penis before. And 'Yes, We Can' was a great and hopeful message, while 'Feel the Bern' is something that should only do well in a campaign to be elected hall monitor.
The difference is only Trump. And it's not what he says, rather how he says it. He doesn't speak like a politician (and guess what, people love it and find it genuine), but i wouldn't say his bigotry is unmatched. He's just shamelessly expressing it because he knows it sells.

How do you think they did in this debate?
Sanders destroyed Hillary. It was his best debate so far imo. CNN is talking about "Israel bashing" in tonight's debate because somebody implicitly suggested that Palestinians are also human beings :howler:

If Sander's played the Jew card, he'd be much closer in the race. First Jewish presidential candidate to win a primary and he's hated by Israel. You gotta give that to the man, if not for anything else.
Clinton on the other hand: whenever in trouble, play the woman card.

Yeah, he owned her hard. Except on the minimum wage issue. It sounds very impractical to more than double the minimum wage
New York already did no? Also isn't the plan to increase the minimum wage over a few years and not in one go?
Reading about the debate on news sites the general consensus is that it was a stalemate :rolleyes:

The only state that did it is California. NYC and Seattle did it citywide. Opponents of $15 federal minimum wage say since cost of living is very different from city to city and state to state this might be an undue burden on businesses in rural areas.
