I'm not a huge Walker fan, but this fact makes me substantially more likely to support him.

I hope that his opponents make this an issue - a lot of Americans would rise up in his defense.

Massive negative. I wouldn't vote for a federal or statewide politician without a Bachelor's degree. I'm sure much of the education industry shares my sentiment.

Fixed.

Sadly this film is a documentary...



Well sure, because everyone who couldn't afford to go to college is dumb.  Going into tens of thousands of dollars of debt for a $2 piece of paper makes you really smart.  I'm sure glad we have such smart people running our country.  How much is our national debt again?

Link - I've paid thousands of dollars, full-price, for college tuition.  I personally place a high value on higher education, though there are certainly many other ways for one to educate themselves for a lot less money.

I have a passion for history and international relations, and almost all of what I know about those topics I didn't learn in an expensive college environment.

Walker may not have dropped out because he couldn't afford to continue, but a whole lot of Americans have.  Many Americans drop out because they have to take care of relatives or work to pay the family's bills. If someone drops out of college to take care of their family, would you deny them the option of ever seeking the office of President of the United States?

College education in our country is not universal, it is not equally available to everyone, and it may not be the best choice for everyone.

We should examine candidates for President, or Governor, or Deputy Dog Catcher based on their values, priorities, and their ability to do the job.  You can disagree with Walker on the first two, but there is no reason to think that he doesn't have the ability to do the job as well as anyone who has a degree.

Ditto everything useful idiot said.
