What is wrong is that he lied about having a degree.

I'm not a Rand Paul fan, and certainly not a fan of either lies or of Rand's father, but this is not a lie. Many people consider medicine to be a part of biology. The difference between the literal truth and his literal words, even for those who do not consider medicine to be part of biology, is not worth the time needed to clarify a peripheral detail. I've "lied" about my degrees too, claiming a high degree on my resume two full days before it was awarded, but after completing all requirements.

I don’t agree. He did not complete his undergraduate degree. It makes me think less of him that he would stoop to a lie like that, particularly since it is so easily debunked.

He’s not presidential material.

No. Sorry. Words mean things. A Biology degree is NOT equivalent to an MD.

Surely, I don’t have to explain that?
