I didn't even realize he wanted to end nuclear. Without natural gas and nuclear, we are looking at more coal, which is the worst thing environmentally.

I think free college is a good idea, but the Wall Street transaction tax he's proposing won't cover it, and will end up taxing retirement savings, while the Wall Street sharks will either find a way around it or move their big trading operations offshore.

And so on down the line. His policies just aren't well thought out and not suited for the real world.
