Clinton on the other hand isn't very clear where she stands. When asked about raising the cap on Social Security, she said she was "open" to it. That's rhetoric for "I'm not going to commit." Isn't that her answer for everything? Fracking, TPP, the XL Pipeline, etc.

Sen Sanders want's free college for those that qualify. Clinton says that no one should go into debt for college. Sounds good but it's no commitment. Same for Medicare for all. Same for min wage. And on and on.
