Opinion roundup: Keep Trump leaks coming; affirmative action and racism; the Gothic Alabama election
A roundup of Monday’s editorials includes a look at the leaks coming from the Trump White House, two views on affirmative action in college admissions, if Sen. David Perdue’s immigration bill is a winner, and more.
Here are some opinions from the Right and from the Left.
Opinions from the Left
1. Authentic Republican wisdom
Columnist Mark Shields remembers when presidential campaigns and their aftermath were not “emotional train wrecks.”
After many years of LEAKS going on in Washington, it is great to see the A.G. taking action! For National Security, the tougher the better!

The president is “too incompetent to serve,” says the New Republic, and Congress must be pressured into removing him.
3. Who really benefits from affirmative action?
It may not be who you think it is – from The Dallas Morning News.

5. An Alabama Senate seat and Republican Gothic
