I’m guessing that you’re hoping that it will be a problem for Walker.
With the majority of voters not holding college degrees, and with many recent college grads finding themselves flipping burgers while living in Mom and Dad’s basement, the Dems can pound it all they want and all they’ll be doing with their elitism is drumming up more support for Walker.
In other words, it’s not a problem. Most graduates get more practical knowledge during the first year of a real job than they acquired in four years of college, and they know it. Walker has performed in the real world of politics; that’s the standard that will be applied, and that’s the standard that should be applied.
Frankly, I’m more concerned with whether or not he’s learned a lesson from his miserable experience with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, his personal foray into crony capitalism at the state level. I very much want to hear him proclaim “never again” in that regard. If he instead decides to come up with excuses for why it didn’t work, but should have, or worse that it did work but is being misreported, that will go a long ways toward convincing me to stop considering him. I knew when he advanced that project initially that it would come to no good end and now he’s reaping the consequences.
I’m sorry, I really did mean to remove the first sentence of the above post before posting it, Georgia Girl. I realized it was an unnecessary remark, but I forgot to delete it.
Well I’m not hoping for anything. I have always been lukewarm on Walker. He is going to be the GOPe default candidate now that Jeb is face planting. But don’t kid yourself about this college degree thing. The opposition will have a lot of people believing Walker is a dumb uneducated bumpkin. It doesn’t matter if its true or not the left and MSM will build that perception.
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...."
