Min Wage: Since $15 an hour looks impossible in the Senate, I wonder if we could get the votes for

5. I am trying the remember if any prominent Democratic politicians have proposed that in recent years.

Could a recent presidential candidate have made that proposal for a $12 per hour minimum wage? Do you think he or she was praised for proposing the largest increase in history, and one that was bigger than the $10.10 that Obama had just recently proposed? Or were they attacked as part of the establishment, and a closet Republican, who was trying to keep working people down?

Can someone help me here? Does anyone else recall anything like this taking place? I seem to remember something like this happening to a major candidate in the last few years, but I just can't place it. Who might it have been?
