Bernie Sanders proposed legislation for a universal free public college entitlement during the 2016 campaign. Hillary Clinton ultimately supported a watered-down version of it. Will the issue raise its ugly head again in 2020?
Probably. It won’t happen, because the GOP would resist it, and even if the legislation somehow passed, I can’t imagine that the red states that refused to participate in Medicaid expansion would permit the federal government to dictate how they operate their university systems.
