1. Ok. n/t

[leftofcool]

12. Millennials I presume.

I bet they think they won't have to pay back all those college loans once Bernie cancels all those trillions in student debt.

[Fearless]

15. Who's side are you on??

Seriously every other first world nation has a better public education system, but fuck that I had to pay (much much less than today) so fuck them they should to. That'll teach 'em, that lazy millennial crowd.

Yeah?

[aidbo]

16. +1

[DrBulldog]

20. Where did you read he woould cancel all the studnet debt?

Yup, you made it up.

[Scootaloo]

28. If you keep sneering, your face is gonna get stuck like that

[Motown_Johnny]

32. You should self delete that.

Or maybe go visit FR to compare their posts to yours. Just switch your phrasing to "Free Stuff" and you are there.

[rhett o rick]

34. And if Goldman-Sachs becomes president they will solve the problem by putting the

students in debtors prison. Win-win for the Oligarchy.

[pinebox]

39. Wow nice right wing talking point

More crap from the Shillary crowd I see and no they won't have to pay back their student loans either.

2. Sanders’ only formal proposal is his College for All Act of 2015.......

Umm.. I thought he had other proposals???

....

Sanders’ only formal proposal is his College for All Act of 2015. The Independent Senator calls for all four-year public universities to be free. His plan outlines a 0.5 percent tax increase on stock trades, 0.1 percent on bonds and 0.005 percent on derivatives.

Both Clinton and O’Malley have also addressed college affordability, however both of the candidates want to tackle student debt and regulate tuition price hikes.

[magical thyme]

3. I'm thinking that was a mistake...maybe his only 'formal' proposal around college

affordability, which is mentioned earlier in the article as the students #1 issue.

[jeff47]

4. Believe it or not, Sanders has not been getting accurate media coverage. (nt)

[Wilms]

5. You mean, "Socialist Bernie Sanders", of course.

[Fred Sanders]

7. Free public university is a worthy and truly doable pure socialist plan that I support. The details

of payment should be a mix of financial industry tax and fees, and cuts to the military.

[Enthusiast]

19. Yes. Cut the shit out of the military.

[rhett o rick]

35. And I believe Sen Sanders would agree with you. HRC however, will ask the states to keep tuition

down. That's all I've heard, if anyone has more, please let me know.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

10. LOL!!! Oh sure. That's ALL he talks about in his speeches.

[Scootaloo]

29. Hillary's plan? "Rich kids might go to community college, so it shouldn't be free"

Putting a sad, sagging populist bow on a neoliberal turd pile.

[rhett o rick]

36. She also she she'd ask states to keep tuition down. nm

[Fred Sanders]

38. Is that a direct quote? Even as a rhetorical summation it is highly inaccurate.

Bringing down the cost of education reflected in tuition fees is a good first step, at which point the tuition made free would be less expensive thst currently proposed.

Tuition inflation is a primary proximate cause of soaring and unmanageable and enslaving student debt. What goes up can come down.

Evolution, not revolution.

[tavernier]

6. I hope they all do well

and show the country what a real debate about ideas should be like!!!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. Wanna bet Hillary goes into one of her stories?

[tavernier]

13. I'm fairly certain that the last two remaining

will be HRC and J!. Frankly, I'm a Bernie fan, so I'm hoping that he will continue to amaze the country and be the candidate. But if not, I won't ever ever ever vote for a Bush or do anything to make that possible. If your only option is to sit it out, have at it, but I won't.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

14. No, I mean to come off as "connecting".....

She tends to do that because it polls well.

And it helps run out the clock.

[tavernier]

22. Lots of time left, much can change.

I'm know that I shouldn't look for the inevitable, but I battle between my ideology and reality. And as we all know, there is the unknown Joe (who, like Lancelot, could sweep in to the picture).

Still and all, it won't be a Bush. I may only have one vote, but it won't be for a Bush.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

27. In actual reality, other countries would consider Bernie to be average....

Here, the Beltway and their media still hasn't gotten the memo that the Reagan Era and the Cold War is over.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

8. Now we know why Hillary is changing her tune....

[ProgressiveJarhead]

11. Where Is Hillary on Israel/Palestine

Does she have a clear position?

[rhett o rick]

37. Please be more specific. She most likely has a clear position but she isn't apt to tell us

any thing other than political rhetoric (argle bargle)

[Enthusiast]

17. Fucking Bearcats. What do they know!

[DrBulldog]

18. This is more impressive because Cincinnati is the most conservative city in Ohio,

notwithstanding the fact that probably most of those polled are millennials.

[Enthusiast]

21. True.

[George II]

24. Not all the students are from Cincinnati.

[valerief]

25. True that!! nt

[George II]

23. I polled my neighborhood - Clinton won 93.8% of the vote while Sanders got 1%. Biden got 5.2%

That's how valid, or invalid, that poll is.

[jkbRN]

31. I would trust the college results, not you.

It is obvious that you have a bias.

[Aerows]

26. I don't think Joe Biden will run.

He's a trial balloon in my opinion.

[Duckfan]

30. Thats what I'm thinking.

Too late in the game to establish donors.

[brooklynite]

33. ...and in my day, everyone on campus supported Ted Kennedy over Jimmy Carter...

...par for the course.

[pinebox]

40. The times have changed though

and they've changed drastically. Candidates are literally made on social media and millennials are a giant force when it comes to that. In fact, he's nicknamed "The Reddit Candidate" http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/12/politics/bernie-sanders-democratic-debate/
