Clinton Basically Adopts Bernie Plan For Free College Tuition

In another move to bring Bernie Sanders’ voters into her camp, Hillary Clinton has announced a revamped education plan that would make public colleges tuition-free for all in-state students from families earning up to $125,000. Bernie Sanders has made free college tuition a major theme of his campaign and Clinton seems to have adopted his position after meeting with Sanders last month. Once again, this is another example of how Bernie’s candidacy has helped pull Clinton to the left. And it also shows how correct Sanders is to keep his campaign going all the way to the convention. Holding off endorsing Clinton only enhances Sanders’ leverage and if he can use that leverage to move Clinton in his direction, it will only be good for Clinton and the party. Earlier today, House Democrats actually booed Sanders when he didn’t give a clear answer about when he was going to endorse Hillary. But this move by Clinton shows exactly why he hasn’t. Now, I will definitely change my tune if Bernie still refuses to emphatically endorse Hillary after the convention. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
