Tennessee Republican Gov. Haslam proposes free tuition free community college

[Famous Mortimer]

I expect more Republicans to get behind this as times goes on, for the same reason I expect to see more Republicans get behind single payer healthcare:

It benefits middle class and upper middle class White people, who are the Republican base.

Most minorities already have the opportunity to get a government funded bachelors degree via Pell Grants.

Now middle class Whites (and the smaller groups of middle class African Americans and Hispanics) will be able to get free college as well.
