After campaigning for Hillary, Bernie will need some time at his lake house.
Via WaPo:
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton promised young voters Wednesday that she will champion issues they care about, especially the crushing cost of college, as she and former rival Sen. Bernie Sanders appealed to an age group that has never fully warmed to her.
“Is anybody here ready to transform America? You’ve come to the right place,” Sanders (I-Vt.) said at a joint rally with Clinton at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.
“Today I am asking all of you to think big, not small,” Sanders told a crowd that included many in the target audience of young people but also a large contingent of gray hair.
“We should and we will make public colleges tuition-free for families earning less than $125,000” annually, Clinton said.
Sanders praised Clinton for updating her platform to include tuition-free enrollment in public, in-state colleges for most families.
That pledge is a compromise with Sanders and his free-tuition proposal that was wildly popular with young voters; it was the capstone to a list of liberal positions Clinton outlined before a university audience.
“None of this will happen if you don’t turn out to vote. None of it will,” Clinton said.
Campaigning together in the state where Sanders defeated Clinton by 20 points in the February primary, Clinton and Sanders plugged what Sanders said would be a revolutionary way of paying for college.
“I want young people to leave school excited about the future,” Sanders said, “not being saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in student debt.”
