Prominent Democratic Donor Called Scott Walker a ‘Dumb (bleep)' for Something 60% of Americans Share
IJReview ^ | May 26, 2015 | Joe Perticone

Hillary Clinton is heading to the Sunshine State this week to spend time with one of Florida’s most influential Democratic donors, trial lawyer John Morgan.

Morgan is not just praising Clinton’s candidacy, but actively bashing her potential Republican rivals.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, Morgan took shots at Wisconsin Governor and prospective 2016 candidate, Scott Walker:

“Walker would be the first president with a GED.”

The Democratic donor attempted to insult Walker for not obtaining a college degree, which he opted out of in order to get started with his career. Morgan continued, calling Walker cruel names in an effort to insult his intelligence:

“We just cannot have a dumb sh*t as president. Total dumb sh*t.”

While Walker does not have a college degree, neither do nearly 60 percent of American citizens. Though the price of obtaining a Bachelor’s degree has risen sharply, more Americans are pursuing degrees than in previous decades....

Top reasons why kids today are in college.

1. Everyone else is doing it.
2. My friends/boyfriend/girlfriend is going.
3. Mom and Dad wanted me to go.
4. Party!!!!
5. I want to be able to say I have a college degree (not that it means that I’ve learned anything).
6. I had no idea what else to do after high school.
7. It seems a lot easier and more fun that getting a job.
8. I need to learn all the stuff that they used to teach in high school, but no longer do because I got social promotions.
9. I’m an affirmative action admission and someone is paying for me to go to college so that it looks good for their diversity quotas.
10. I’m just here for the sports and I’m only pretending to be a student.

Good reasons for getting a degree:
1. It’s actually needed for the career you want (science, engineering, medicine, ...)

Maybe there are other good reasons, but I can’t think of any at the moment.

Too many kids are wasting time and money on college when they would be better off getting jobs, starting businesses, or learning a trade.

The news on WFLA is their way or the highway.

And gradually, as far as WFLA is concerned, I have taken the highway.

I was down in Florida visiting my snowbird parents and learned quickly that "Morgan and Morgan" was basically the Geoff Fieger of Florida. Isn't he Charlie Crist's buddy?

BTW - Scott Walker left college to turn pro, which is what a lot of people do.

Typical - a Huckabee supporter wants to be part of the left.

I suspected as much from the Huckabee people .. they know they aren’t going to win .. so they are willing to play spoiler.

How much is Huckabee getting paid to stir the pot ..????

So let’s build up a list of people that John Morgan has insulted as D#^b Sh&#s:

I’ll start with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

......."Republican lawmakers on the Legislature’s finance committee sought Thursday to restructure Gov. Scott Walker’s struggling job creation agency, proposing to remove the governor as chairman, dramatically reduce the agency’s reserves and eliminate a program that would fund regional loans.

The move immediately drew praise from the committee’s minority Democrats, who declared that the GOP wants to “fire” the governor from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation. They demanded Republicans get even tougher on the agency.

“WEDC was part of the governor’s promise to create jobs. That promise has clearly been broken,” said Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison.

Republicans countered that Walker proposed removing all elected officials from the board in the state budget he introduced in February. They said he wants to depoliticize the agency and called on Democrats to dial back the rhetoric...."

I’m fully cognizant

But the further up the ladder the worse it gets.
When my kids were in school in the 80s/90s it wasn’t that bad. And they had me to tell them what was bogus education and what wasn’t.

Now? Better home school.

I like Walker as a candidate but I stand by my position that his foray into the WEDC was just crony capitalism and the result is egg on his face, as I would have, and did, expect.

I also stand by the statement that I hope he’s learned from the experience, although your post would imply that he hasn’t. Better to dismantle the agency and get the state out of trying to create specific jobs by offering specific inducements. Create an overall favorable employment environment instead, and the jobs will come, as will the businesses.

Crony capitalism is the GOP’s weak spot. We need a presidential candidate who will disavow it and root it out of the federal government where it is far more insidious than at the state level.

>>The opposition will have a lot of people believing Walker is a dumb uneducated bumpkin.<<

Only the ones (Democrats) who want to believe it. They’ll insult a lot of traditionally Democrat voters along the way, however.

If Walker hadn’t won three hotly-contested elections in a purple state known for its respect for education, you might have a point. But he did, and you don’t. It simply wasn’t an issue in any of his elections, although the Dems certainly raised it.

There are reasons to worry about Walker’s candidacy but finishing only 3 years of college isn’t one of them.

Of course you don't hold yourself to the same standard as you do exactly what you accuse me of.

I come to expect that of the few rabid HDS sufferers who cry like babies on the smallest comments while making the most vile attacks themselves.

Btw I am not getting paid, you are just seriously crazy.
