Scott Walker's college problem

[Lincoln Republican]

I would feel much more comfortable about him if he had a JD from Yale or Harvard.

[Lincoln Republican]

I believe many voters expect more of those who would attempt to lead the nation than they may expect of Mr. and Mrs. Citizen.

Most Presidents have gone on to further education.

Most recent

Jeb Bush Graduate University of Texas Austin
Hillary Clinton Juris Doctor Yale
Barack Obama Juris Doctor Harvard
George W Bush MBA Harvard
Bill Clinton Juris Doctor Yale
George HW Bush Economics Yale
Ronald Reagan Economics/Sociology Eureka
Jimmy Carter Graduate U.S. Naval Academy Annapolis
Gerald Ford LL.B Yale
Richard Nixon LL.B Duke (Had a full scholarship to Harvard but had to turn it down for family reasons)
Lyndon Johnson Graduate Southwest Texas State
John F Kennedy International Studies Harvard
Dwight Eisenhower U.S. Military Academy West Point

A post secondary degree shows that you are willing to put in the necessary work and effort to further your qualifications and to broaden your mind.

We should not be minimizing the value of a post secondary education in our leaders or in those who would hope to lead us.

Like ted cruz?

Or like Bill Clinton, or like Hillary Clinton, or like Barack Obama.

In the real world

Two prospective employees are applying for the same position.  One has a university degree, the other does not.

Both of these candidates have the experience and ability to do the job, and the prospective employer considers both candidates equally acceptable for the position.

Who do they hire? 

More likely than not, the one with the college degree.

The same could be said, to some extent, for voters (prospective employers) who are electing or "hiring" a President (prospective employee).
