Did Duke medical School require a Bachelors Degree for admission? No.
So when all of this is plainly available on Wikipedia, why the hell are Democrats making us look like conspiracy theory idiots? We're supposed to be the smart ones, but for some reason we jump into the deep end of the pool of stupidity whenever a Republican comes up as a topic.
Guys, quit pretending that the Republicans are idiots. Cruz graduated from Princeton, and Harvard. Any other time you would be talking about how excellent the Harvard education is. Now, he's an idiot. Take him on with issues, debate the facts, and debate the issues and win on those issues. But asinine character assassination bullshit is only going to make us look bad, and when they do it then it looks like dirty politics as usual, and the message is lost.
Besides, our presumptive (I don't know why I still refer to Hillary that way) nominee has a lot more of those hanging around, and it hasn't hurt her yet.
Oh, and you better hope that Rand isn't the GOP nominee, otherwise we're going to lose a lot of support at the polls and he'll probably win.
