MILWAUKEE — Scott Walker was gone. Dropped out. And in the spring of his senior year.

In 1990, that news stunned his friends at Marquette University. Walker, the campus’s suit-wearing, Reagan-loving politico — who enjoyed the place so much that he had run for student body president — had left without graduating.

Good grief.

At least we know that “concern trolls” can sometimes go on to nail down a career writing for major MSM newspapers...

“Onoz!! Without his competed certificate of Marxist indoctrination, how could he ever be a good President? Oh wait........”

:) :)

The only problem with that fine comment is that it can’t fit on a bumper-sticker. I’d but one, otherwise!

You have attacks on Walker from both the GOP elite and the Dems. The GOP Elite want to derail his Presidential aspirations. The Dems want to derail his Presidential aspirations and set the stage for another recall in 2016.

One of my brothers never finished HS, but he was a self made millionaire before the age of 21, and that was about 1962 when a million was quite a bit of cash.

He started his first business at the age of 12, by the time he was 18 he owned a grocery store the size of the average Krogers.

There are enough people like my brother out there that Walker has nothing to worry about.

If liberals try to run on Walker’s lack of a degree it will just backfire and piss a bunch of people off.

This is excellent news. What better way to “connect” to the average non-elitist voter. He worked for everything he has.

Better yet, with 3 Elections in 4 years, and the ferocity of the opposition, I am sure his life has been trolled to the microscopic level and the leftists have come up with nothing.

BTW: Brian Williams is being mocked and scorned for the same things Hillary Clinton is getting a pass on. WHY?????

“There a a story recently how Ted Cruz got in trouble for alcohol possession when he was underage. So is that going to be an issue with Cruz, that we need to eliminate him from consideration due to youthful problems?”

I’ll take who was in the Choom Gang for 100, Alex.

Marxist indoctrination centers is exactly what colleges have become. It does not matter at all to me if he has a degree or not. He has done great things for WI.
What does matter is will he stand for the rule of law?
Will he as President enforce the immigration laws?
Or will he bend to the will of The Chamber of Cheap Labor as his buddies Paul Ryan and Rinse Prius have?

William F Buckley said that, about the citizenry of Boston vs. the faculty at Harvard.

Meanwhile, 8 years on, we still don't have Obama's college records...fancy that.

Simple statements such as yours puts it ALL into an honest perspective.

They're already after Walker because he KNOWS how to deal with the problems that the LIBERAL LEFT do NOT want fixed.

I would think that eventually those with common sense would clearly realize that EDUCATION and SUCCESS are two separate realities.

Conversely, as my mother told me when I was a small child.. "just because a person has a lot of money doesn't mean he knows anything."

Hopefully many many citizens have caught on to the msm. It’s truly laughable the crap they spew on what they believe to be STUPID Americans. just sayin’

I have always maintained that post high school education opportunities should be tiered to allow choice of occupations/professions. WWII GI benefits allowed me to attend and graduate from the best and highest ranked public university in the world with an engineering degree. My two sons were not pushed to attend college although I always believed the older son had the ‘smarts’ to pass any program requirements. However, now both are settled in on just ordinary people jobs with field work. They seem content with life and that makes me and my wife gratified for such.
