15. What she discussed in her book has been changing...

and even in her book, she did not discuss "specifics".

As I said. NY and NJ have tuition equity. If you were brought in by your parents from Mexico at 8 years old, and are 18 and want to go to college but you are undocumented (even though you attend and graduate from a public state HS), you can pay in state tuition.

Vermont does NOT have tuition equity. You'd have to pay international tuition at 2 or 3 times the rate. Maybe you couldn't get in at all. Hillary and Martin have addressed this. Martin changed Maryland as governor.

Bernie has not addressed this decades old and important issue for millions. He has been completely quiet (probably because his constituents in Vermont don't want tuition equity in the polls). Bernie is a typical politician when it gets to the bottom line on this issue.

If you want to ask for specifics - why get excited over one of many trade agreements that hasn't even made it to the floor? Why not ask Bernie why his states is behind - even Texas and Florida have addressed this problem, and those are the crazy GOPers!! What's up? Where is Bernie's plan? Why has he been silent?

That's one of a dozen similar issues - so going off on the "Hillary bashing" about TPP and imagining what she "thinks" and getting excited is silly with such simple and obvious issues on the table NOW!

I'll consider these threads substantive when the Bernie folks hold their candidate to the same standard the claim for others.
