Here they are: 
 
Hillary Clinton: Wellesley, Political Science
Ted Cruz: Princeton (Wilson School) Pubic Policy y
John Kasich:  Ohio State, Political Science
Marco Rubio: University of Florida, Political Science
Bernie Sanders: University of Chicago, Political Science (“boring and irrelevant”)
Donald Trump: University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) Economics


         Scoreboard One:
Elite private colleges:                             4
Flagship Public Universities:                  2
2700 other colleges and universities: 0

       Scoreboard Two:
 
Political Science & Public Policy:          5
Economics (Real Estate track):           1
History, Philosophy, Literature:         0
I’ll be interested in what readers make out of this.  Surely not that the other 2700 four year institutions are all failing, or that political science is the only route to political prominence. What do you think?
