Child div height same as sibling div Bootstrap 3?

Question

Is is possible to have child div same height as parent in bootsrtap 3?

Here is example

    <div class="row clearfix">
        <div class="col-md-6" style="background-color:red;">

 VERY LONG TEXT, JUST LONER< AND LONGER, AND LONGER, AND LONGER 
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-6" style="background-color:green;">

SHORT TXT
        </div>
    </div>

I want right col to be the same height as left column is that possible on easy way?

Could you share your CSS? Only thing I can recommand is setting the height of .col-md-6 to 100% — Dieter B, Jan 30 '14 at 15:42

There are numerous solutions to this in CSS and JavaScript. Setting 100% height will not work. Just Google equal height divs... — Joe Conlin, Jan 30 '14 at 15:44

If you set only min-height is not necessary both divs to be equal. For example you set min-height:200px; but the div on the left can have 300px and the one from the right can have 300px. – Aditzu Jan 31 '14 at 07:45
this solutions is not ideal for a responsive design. – scottydelta Sep 29 '16 at 00:38
