I'm going to agree with the consensus that attacking Walker on this wouldn't work and would probably even backfire. That said, the fact he didn't graduate could plant doubts in the heads of some voters. But such doubts certainly shouldn't be stoked by the Hillary campaign or Democratic campaign apparatus.

Let's put the shoe on the other foot--if a Democrat who didn't have a four-year degree was running for the Presidential nomination, I'd have serious misgivings about casting my vote for them.

I have a master's degree. Considering that universities have been generous in awarding four-year degrees for several decades now, I expect my President to have obtained at least the same educational level as the Front Office Manager at the Candlewood Suites a few miles from my office.

But, I guess asking the person in charge of hitting the Doomsday Button to have a four-year degree in communications or whatever bullsh!t degree most athletes get is "elitist."

The fact that it takes very little effort to get a "bullsh!t degree in communications" kind of proves the point that there's no need to consider a college degree as a prerequisite.
