It's interesting how wordplay can mean everything.

I'm the last person who wants to defend Hillary, but put your conspiracy theory hat away.
I seriously doubt that what you're implying is actually the case, I just don't think she's going to go into all of the mind numbing details of her proposal during a campaign rally that the cable news networks were carrying live.
My best educated guess is that her proposal will have a different minimum wage for people who are full time students.....or workers under 18 years old...... or something like that. That's something business owners have been asking the government for since the 1970's, and it's probably the carrot you'd need to keep the republicans from filibustering a bill with a 9.50 minimum wage.
