‘He just got my vote’: MSM angle for dismissing potential Scott Walker 2016 candidacy could backfire

It doesn’t sound like a “deal breaker”:...

[SoFloFreeper]

So, what do you all say? Does someone HAVE TO HAVE a college degree to be elected President? More importantly, will the lack of a college degree KEEP the populace from voting for Walker (if he is the nominee)?

Right now I support Walker. To me he is the best choice.

[SoFloFreeper]

Original article:Scott Walker has no college degree. That’s normal for an American, but not a president.

[MeganC]

I’d vote for Scott Walker.

IMHO he’s demonstrated a capability that does not need approval from a pile of registered-Democrat professors at a den of iniquity like a public university.

[TangoLimaSierra]

A degree is not always a measure of intelligence. Or the lack of one.

[HomerBohn]

Walker is THE man!

Uh, Jimmy Carter was a graduate of the USNA, so he had a bachelors degree.

[2ndDivisionVet]

The same goes for Grant and Eisenhower. Your chart is flawed.

[Paine in the Neck]

The over-credentialed, under-educated snobs of the self-annointed plutocracy will be all over this forever.

[Auntie Dem]

How do we KNOW Zero has a degree? He won’t release his grades so he could be making it all up. Just because he hung out in a few student union buildings doesn’t make him a student, let alone a graduate.

OTOH, zero wouldn’t lie to us...would he?

[SoFloFreeper]

It isn’t my chart, it is the Washington Post’s chart.

I am posting the info and asking questions.

[sneakers]

He’s already proven himself. I’d vote for him.

[tractorman]

As a fellow Wisconsinite, Scott and I have battled the liberal graduates from the university of hell for a long time.

Go Scott!

[DoodleDawg]

I don’t know that he’s my first choice. But it isn’t due to his lack of a college degree. Harry Truman didn’t have a degree and he did pretty well.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Presidents Grant, Eisenhower and Carter all graduated from service academies, where they all earned bachelors degrees. Since the chart fails to indicate that, it is wrong and cannot be trusted for other details about the various other presidents.

[Vaquero]

Hell if Truman could nuke our enemies with no college degree, then I’m sold.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks SoFloFreeper.

Walker not only supports Amnesty, he has an Open-Borders mindset.

Add to that his penchant to put his Presidential Ambitions above principle (See failure to support Right-to-Work, putting Social Issues at the back of the Bus, Telling Conservatives to vote for RINOs instead of Tea-Party candidates) and you have a candidate, from a conservative viewpoint, that just doesn't match up to Ted Cruz.

I'm glad and proud and congratulate him for standing tall against the Unions, however, I don't want a partial package, I want the complete Package.

I get that with Ted Cruz, Walker, not so much.

Ted Cruz is the best choice for POTUS 2016'

I’m becoming more of a fan every day. Lawyers make bad presidents.

Yes and no. When Grant and Eisenhower graduated from West Point the military academies did not award degrees. It wasn't until 1933 that Roosevelt signed legislation providing for Bachelor of Science degrees from all the service academies. In 1937 later legislation retroactively awarded the degrees to all living graduates. So Eisenhower had a degree, albeit belatedly. But Grant did not.
