Hillary Clinton says that, unlike Bernie Sanders, 'I don't believe in free college'
At the Democratic debate on Thursday night, Hillary Clinton went after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) right away, saying in her opening statement that she's "not making promises I cannot keep." NBC's Chuck Todd asked Clinton about her critique that Sanders' plans aren't realistic, and she said that she doesn't want to start over on health care and unlike Sanders, "I don't believe in free college."

Clinton said that she wants to ensure that "middle class kids" can go to college, "not Donald Trump's kids." Watch below. Peter Weber
