(10,499 posts)They are convinced they sing well and that any criticizim is jealousy or something else, it's rigged. In the legal field there are several different skill sets required and we may be better at some than others. Some are so deficient in a certain area(s) that they cannot properly do the job. It's a hard thing to take when you are used to doing so much better than average through school. The job is too important to let them through. The public needs to know this!

(2,959 posts)Laxalt is the only important word in that review if it ever gets published in local papers or web sites. MOst people won't bother to read the articles. Most voters will assume he's like his father and give him a pass.
If elected he'll be a train wreck. "Adam/Paul Laxalt?, good people." People often seem to vote for off spring and family members with an unreasonable expectation that they're as good or at least competent as their relatives. Its one of the few things that happen in both parties.

(21,046 posts)Let alone passed the bar exam. Like Michelle Bachman and Ted Cruz, for example.
Law school is about three times harder than undergrad. At least where I went to school. It was Grim World. No laughing, no joking, no smiling. Maybe at some other school you could coast, but not at the one I went to.
