I am strongly opposed to affirmative action nominees.
Does it bother you that black Republicans are appointed to positions at very high rates compared to how many black Republicans there are? I'm thinking of Thomas, Powell, Rice, and Tim Scott.
No not at all. They are some of my favorites (minus Colin P.) -- with proven experience. But when I hear Republicans screaming "CHRISTIE/MARTINEZ!" I don't know what else would be the reason other than shes a Latina woman.
She hasn't even finished her first term yet.
I'm fine with any candidate who's qualified, but Martinez just doesn't stand out to me as someone who would be the best pick.
