You know I’ve taken a lot of grief for trying to point out the candidates weaknesses here, which I think are important to note and discuss early.
Obviously Sowell doesn’t favor either Cruz or Rand, as both are “rookie Senators” “whose only accomplishments have been in rhetoric and posturing.”.
Ouch.
But meanwhile, as much as I like Scott Walker I wonder about his lack of a college degree, and how much hay the Donk Media Machine will make with that.
I expect many people will say “it doesn’t matter to me” and “he has more sense than lots of people with fancy degrees from Harvard, like Obama and Gore”, and I would agree.
But, as with the issue of Ted Cruz’s wife’s employment at Goldman-Sachs, the question isn’t want committed conservatives think about it, as much as “how bad a weapon is it for the MSM to bludgeon the candidate with?”
I know for sure that the MSM is going to have a long fied day on the Goldman thing. (There are already warm-up articles out there at places like HuffPo. It’s only a matter or the season changing before HuffPo hit pieces become NY Times feature articles, and then, as day follows night, video reports on network and cable news, reports long on insinuation and vilification. (See: Romney, Mitt - POTUS run of 2012 and “vulture funds” meme)
I am less sure about the Walker college degree thing, but it’s something to think about.
Never have Ivy League credentials been so meaningless and accompanied by such incompetence and ignorance as in the presidency of Barack Obama.
Given the Politically Correct Bull Crap everyone is getting indoctrinated with learning in Kolledge maybe 1/2 of America will see it as a badge of honor especially since he didn't go near Harvard or Yale...
LOL!!! Wonder on!!
How many millionares would you like me to list without a "f3454king "college" degree!!??
Here's his roundup of the current field for GOP POTUS nomination:
Crystal Ball 2016 GOP Presidential Field
It's slightly depressing to see Jeb alone in the top tier, and the second tier has Romney, Rand, Walker and Christie Creme.
So, Walker is looking better in comparison with the RINO candidates.
I don't quite get why Rand is shown so high here: the conservative grass roots seem much more energized by Cruz. Maybe his money raising is further along, or he's given credit for his fathers political network?
I do have a college degree...and it made me smarter in the field I chose. But didn't make me smarter in world affairs, economics, war tactics,...etc...etc..
He’s working on his degree and will have it if he runs. I don’t think he had much to finish up. And if he doesn’t, he has a great track record to run on. It doesn’t really matter, either way. They’ll try to crucify him. Other than made up stuff they’ll throw out there, he’s been vetted pretty thoroughly...unlike SOMEONE currently ruining, I mean running, the country. *Rolleyes*
Pretty TIRED of the Elitist, Leftist MSM picking our candidates for us, that’s for sure!
