In reply to the discussion: Should a candidate running for POTUS at least have a Bachelor Degree? [View all]SamKnause
(13,103 posts)35. No.
I prefer a candidate that has common sense.
Many college educated people have zero common sense.
I don't want a candidate that got his/her college degree
from a 'Christian college'.
If college was free, I may have a different opinion.
As it is, the rich can have mommy and daddy buy
their diplomas for them.
Bush had a college education.
Do you seriously think he earned his diploma ???
He could not even speak in coherent sentences.
He made up words because he did not know the real
words to express his opinion.
A piece of paper does not make one intelligent.
