Why I still don't 'feel the Bern.' And I'm not alone in purple Florida

...The Independent senator from Vermont launched his 2016 presidential bid with talk of “political revolution,” and after the R word, all people heard about the promises of free higher education and Medicare for All pointed south to Cuba’s failed experiment.

Education that comes with indoctrination, forced labor in the fields, and mandated employment as payment. It ain’t free at all. Free medical care that comes with substandard conditions and practices, and the same level of corruption as capitalism when it comes to access. No, thanks.

And the ultimate test: If all the free stuff were good stuff, they wouldn’t be fleeing in anything that floats or trekking through dangerous countries to get to the U.S. border....

The populist’s big promises of leveling the playing field with still no concrete plans on how to achieve or pay for the education and healthcare he’s offering only sounds like he’s the ideological flip side of Trump....

3. This whining about "free education" is really dumb

We already have free (and compulsory!!!) education in this country, the K-12 system. Does that mean we are all fleeing in boats to Canada (where I imagine they also have said education policy?).

I guess some people can't help thinking of Cuba, but seriously Cuba is not the only country that does free education or healthcare.

5. If they don't like Sanders due to a lack of details, then they should review Warren's detailed plans

Warren explains the fiscal changes necessary to enact her plans.
