It’s…unclear yet how many Republicans would actually vote to block Lynch over the issue. A number of Republicans face potentially difficult re-election bids in 2016 in blue states. And the party would be blocking the first African American woman attorney general over immigration when party leaders have professed a desire to do more to appeal to African Americans, women and Hispanics.Baloney. GOP needs to stop being the party of fear of their own shadow. Do what's right. Frame the argument to the press, not the other way around. Stop being the reactionary party. Leave that to the Dems.
The author is essentially saying that the only thing that matters is the nominee’s race, and that questions of policy and temperament are irrelevant. That is baloney.
