It's this defeatist attitude that hands victory after victory to the Left. There are probably as many people who oppose affirmative action as those who oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants, abortion, or homosexual marriage. So by what logic is repealing affirmative action not a cause worth fighting?

It is not a cause worth fighting for IN THIS ELECTION CYCLE.

All I really care about is whether Trump looks like he will carry through on his objective of getting rid of illegal immigrants. If he accomplishes that in his term, and accomplishes nothing else, I will be happy. If he doesn't accomplish that, then I will be unhappy no matter what else he does.

Trump has identified and articulated the most important issue facing conservatives.

I may make many people here upset by saying this, but the most important issue facing the US today is not Affirmative Action. Nor is it gay marriage. Nor is it even abortion.

The most important issue is the PERMANENT demographic electoral changes which continued immigration will impose. Every year which passes, we get millions of new Democrat voters. If this is not reversed, by 2024, no conservative will ever win a national election again.

At the point where demographics makes the Left electorally secure, you will REALLY see changes. You will see age of consent lowered so that your sons may be preyed upon by gays, and if YOU try to interfere, YOU will be locked up. You will see minority gangs rule your suburban neighborhoods, transplanted there by Section 8. You will see your Christian churches shut down and all the property seized if they commit the "hate crime" of preaching ANYTHING which goes against the Left's agenda.

Unless we deal with illegal immigration, we will all lose, and lose for all time.

First, I agree with this premise, I also think that this is the most important issue facing America today. I tell people that there will be no capitalist economy to deregulate or a limited Constitutional Republic to defend if our country becomes a political and cultural annex of Mexico and Central America.

So my objection isn't to the fact that Trump doesn't make repealing affirmative action laws a focus of his campaign. I am bothered by the fact that he says that he has no objection to affirmative action in principle. He could have said that he opposes affirmative action, then moved on to the next topic. Instead, he chose to say that he doesn't even oppose it. It's one thing to pick your fights and not make secondary issues a priority, it's another to be on the wrong side on those issues.

The people who oppose amnesty for illegals generally also oppose affirmative action, so which of his supporters would he have alienated by speaking out on the subject?
