You shouldn't be able to be a candidate if you don't have a college degree. That's crazy!

That's a really strange poll with some strange results. Either the poll was really badly worded, or are there are a LOT of stupid Americans. Oh wait...
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

I just checked my #PocketConstitution and nary a word about holding a post-secondary degree as a qualification for the Office of President.  Just because a person chose to enter the real world before getting that piece of paper doesn't mean he/she doesn't have the skills or qualifications to be President.  George Washington never attended college, AND THOSE ARE FACTS!

I have reservations about evangelical Christians and very uncomfortable about tea party leaders. Everything else doesn't even get consideration

Possible conflict of interest for Wacky, here.  Will need someone better versed in ethics to weigh in.

A college degree doesn't make you a successful leader or intelligent. College degrees are becoming a commodity.

Seriously though, if anything, a person who either dropped out of college or chose not to attend in the first place - if for the right reasons - is smarter than the millions of kids racking up student loan debt for worthless degrees. I'd say things worked out just fine for Governor Walker.

But putting aside the college degree question, this same poll found that about 15% of people have at least some reservations about a black or woman president, and close to 20% have reservations against a president with a military background or governing experience. Maybe these were pro-Hillary folks expressing reservations against any box she can't check? Anyway you slice it - Americans are really stupid or this is a bad poll.

No conflict of interest, It just seems necessary. I mean, there's jobs in the U.S. and all over the place that won't hire you unless you have a college degree. I sure hope to god that for the top job in this country, that they hold the same requests. I just want my president educated.
