Sanders’ voters are future Republicans
Students at Fresno State were excited to register to vote so they could vote for Bernie Sanders. They assume if he becomes president, they will get free tuition and health care. Bernie knows better.
Bernie has been in Congress for over 24 years and knows that free tuition and health care are not going to happen. He knows he will not be able to pass a law in Congress to get free stuff. He knows Republicans control the House, and the House controls the purse strings; I don’t see them agreeing to pass a free tuition bill.
But for the sake of fun, let’s say they did get that coveted free tuition. I wonder which political party they would switch to when they own homes, cars, pools, etc. or can’t own them because their taxes are too high.
