I remember HS guidance consular telling me wasn’t going to be allowed to go to college if I didn’t have either a HS diploma or a GED. She said I should put up with the ignorant teachers for two more years.

I dropped out anyway at 16

I still have neither a GED or HS diploma. But I ha a BA, BS, MLIS and PhD. 35 years later the HS that didn’t want me tried to make me an honored alumni. I am the only one in what would have been my graduating class with a PhD. I literally laughed at them.

Moral of the story. I don’t think the government fat cats get to tell Trump what he can or cannot be. He is going to win by enough margin that they can’t cheat. They were planning on JEB losing close.

I would agree...the JEB solution was the gimmick from 2014 and the primary would have been mostly a Jeb versus Scott Walker and maybe Carly. Obviously things changed in a dramatic way.

Jeb versus Hillary today? Jeb would have fumbled around and done a three-star marginal campaign. Hillary would be eight solid points ahead and it was all scripted out.

I do also agree on ignorant or marginally-qualified teachers as being part of the overall problem, and that we’d be better off offering a graduate-out test at the end of the 10th grade where kids who were smart enough...could just test and move on to some junior college situation or university. We could lay off 20-percent of the teachers across the nation by this method.

Congratulations!! I honor your achievements.

My dad wouldn’t let me take physics in high school unless I could win, place or draw in the Betty Crocker Homemaker Award Contest. I was furious. I took third in the contest and took physics. One of the continuing joys of my life is quantum physics. When I was in college I was told ‘women don’t pass Physical Chemistry’. I took it anyway and made an A—no one else did. And that has gone on all my life....thank god for people like us. Trump will win because of people like us.

After my BS, I earned a DVM and then my PhD. I loved everything I learned except Clayburg Kinetics (?sp). Then 20 years later I went back to school and earned my MS in Nursing and became a Family Nurse Practitioner.

What a joy it has been to share all that with other people and especially with those who wondered “Can I do that?”. Yes, at one level or another, sometimes spectacularly, you CAN DO THAT.

Trump CAN DO WHat he dreams of doing with our help.

Yay! YAY!
