In the real world, the lack of a college diploma is meaningless! Some of the dumbest people I ever met have college diplomas and could not find their way out of a bathroom!
“his lack of a college diploma”
As if that matters — let alone is bad.
If this trend continues, people are going to grow more and more curious about Governor Walker. He should be lining up appearances on shows that can be expected to treat him fairly, and doing his best to put together solid performances when he appears on them. I don’t mean just Fox News, but I do mean avoid MSNBC and it’s ilk completely.
My concern is that he’s not yet ready for the prime-time stage. I have little doubt that he would make a good President, but he could stumble badly as he goes national. Yet his Iowa speech recently is a hopeful sign.
My Governor has awesome computer hacking and nunchuck skills and THAT is what matters!
Love My Gov! :)
"The governor"!
Go Walker.
Say it LOUD AND PROUD
NO LAWYERS
NO IVY LEAGUERS

Walker has advantages in Iowa. He’s from a next-door state and has the backing of Iowa Gov. Branstad. That Branstad machine would likely switch to Christie if Walker’s out.
Christie is Chairman of the Republican Governor’s Association and appears with Branstad in Iowa whenever possible.
Rubio gets high on the list because Iowa talk radio shows give him ample interview time.
Iowa is strictly a beauty pageant with no prizes except publicity.
Ok we get it. All Republican presidential candidates are dumb....let’s move on to the issues now.
If you ask me, not having a college diploma gives scott walker a leg up on the Reagan coalition crossovers, at least in the Midwest and south.
“I never let school interfere with my education” - Mark Twain
Arnold Shwarzeneggar got a diploma through online study. Scott Walker could have done the same. I personally have a college diploma. It has traditionally been seen as a sign of applying oneself to achieve a goal. I’m not going to excuse Scott Walker on this failure. Not having a diploma is a major drawback in this race. He could at least have completed what he started instead of dropping out. My parents always told me when I started college, If you get two years in, we hope you’ll finish your degree.
College degree = proof that you were capable of showing up to class most of the time and regurgitating your notes onto a test sheet.
That said, I cannot see how a college degree would help determine if someone would make a good executive leader. Outside the physical sciences, very few college courses reflect how things are done in the real world.
If we ranked the top 5 worst Presidents, how many had college degrees?
Successfully managing a business in the real world is probably the best indicator for success in government executive positions.
The current administration is very elitist - must have an advanced degree and from one of the Ivy League schools. And these are the people who built economic models that assumed real estate couldn’t go down in value, causing a Great Recession, formulated economic policies that require tons of regulations that prolonged the Great Recession based on political ideals, and try to enforce social engineering and costly policies based on climate models that can’t explain the lack of warming since 2000.
In short, they are so smart they put more faith in their theories than most people put in their reality. And their models don’t match reality, but they do deride those who challenge the validity of their models and faith therein.
At least those clinging to guns and God admit their faith is actually a religion.
