A conservative president needs to pick his fights. Affirmative Action is not one that we’re going to win.

It’s not my answer, for sure.

It’s a calculated, pick-my-fights assessment of a position that he thinks will help him win a majority of the vote for president.

Trump likes to talk while he’s thinking.

This is really TERRIBLE! Donald Trump doesn’t want to try to untangle the labyrinth of Affirmative Action Legislation, Court Decisions, and Regulations! We need someone from the GOPe who will promise, Scout’s Honor, to do something about Affirmative Action!

If he gets all the illegals out of here like he promised, then I don’t care.

Good. This will get a few minorities to vote for him. The illegals can’t vote (in theory), so as long as he ships them out it’s all good. I don’t think Trump will be working to push and Affirmative Action amendment to the Constitution.

Whatever it take to win, baby! Works for the Dems.

“I’m fine with affirmative action. We’ve lived with it for a long time. And I lived with it for a long time.

Well Mr. Trump, I'm just your average white man who has been hurt very badly, twice, by affirmative action! If this is "campaign strategy" (wink, wink), OK. But until you are on the GOP ballot, I'll support whoever is against "AA." if there is anybody? I'll be checking before I vote. I would put reform of affirmative action right after shutting down illegal immigration.

Trump is pulling 25% of the black vote. You keep posting these lame attacks and maybe he will get to 40%.

You have to pick your fights. Trump appears to have decided that his fight is illegal immigration. He’s not going to stake a controversial position on Affirmative Action, abortion, the Equal Rights Amendment, or gay marriage. He’s going to stay on focus on illegal immigration, and not get involved in other fights.

Well apparently the GOP is fine with it too, and since we keep re-electing the GOP, so are we.

Rush is (correctly) responding to the idea that conservatives should not be supporting Trump just for his position and plan on illegal immigration and amnesty.

Trump is surprising ‘experts’ who would expect conservatives to demand a more purely conservative candidate

Im thinking as Rush is reflecting on this: Conservatism as Mark Levin says, is a way of life. It’s not an ideology.

They’re thinking conservatives will only vote for a guy who has a conservative past and who has an impeccable personal life. But conservatives are not ideological they are practical

They are crazy. They think conservatives are going to hold out for me perfect?

Romney was a leftist. I voted for him but he was a leftist. He’d have ushered in Hillary.

I won’t vote for any of the GOP s leftists again

Conservatives will certainly support someone who is not purely conservative but plans on taking care of this mess of a country

Even the catechism states that, while abortion is non negotiable,tgat if the only choices are pro abortion candidates the least harmful one is the one to support Staying home is worse

On My give a chit list of what needs fixing affirmative action is about #50. I just don’t care right now about anything except getting rid of the illegals, Obamacare and putting 94 million people back to work.

Trump is not my first choice for president, but defending him a little on this matter, I’d say this is more of a case of him picking his battles. He seems to be clear that illegal immigration and the economy are much bigger issues than affirmative action so he’s going to leave it alone for now until the more important things are tackled.

Biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action ever:

Barack Obama

Ben Carson

Both should be on a town council or something. Ridiculous as president.

Trump’s a politician now.

The Trump brand name already had some cache in black culture, and Trump’s fight against illegal immigration is resonating with that part of the black community that is interested in jobs and work.

He’s decided not to risk that by going after affirmative action.

Another non-story in hopes of hurting Trump.

How’s that working, btw?

The original intent of affirmative action was to guarantee equal treatment to everyone. But like everything else the progressives touch, it has been turned into crap.
