One thing I do know is that I’d like these elite ignoramuses (ignorami? :>) TO bash Walker over his lack of degree.

Indeed, dear brother in Christ. They must be very worried about Walker, to try to take him out of the game, on such wholly gratuitous grounds, so early in the 2016 presidential election cycle.

Gratuitous, because according to my latest count, at least seven presidents had not earned college degrees. Indeed, George Washington himself had no formal education at all beyond what we today call the "primary" level.

Grover Cleveland had not attended any college at all.

All of which is to say that 16% of the presidents of the United States did not hold at least a baccalaureate degree.

But it turns out that of this 16%, these non-college-graduates included some of the most consequential presidents in the history of the United States of America: E.g., Washington, Lincoln, Truman.

Go figure.

Of course, “they” (Liberals) are very worried about Walker. His record in Wisconsin makes that inevitable. We may judge how viable Walker’s candidacy is by the volume of Liberal lunacy and hysteria hurled in his direction. Personally, I expect the volume to become deafening. Liberals are devolving to their usual tactic; ignore the issue (s), attack the person.
