The Importance of Affirmative Action

A poll today said that getting rid of affirmative action was hugely popular in the country. So he'd be arguing on the side of one third of the public against two thirds of the public. That's like a bad campaign approach. You should be picking things that at least 100% of Democrats like and there's plenty of that. It was a good idea for a long time, but it became counterproductive because its own success made it unnecessary. And I think it was time to go.
