    I already knew Elizabeth Warren was a joke. I already knew trump is a lying idiot. This is like a stupid Maury Povich episode

    Definitely not a big deal but Trumpites want you to think it is.


    "Ms. Warren defended herself by saying she was not claiming to be eligible for membership in the Cherokee Nation — and she isn’t, given that her ancestors do not appear on the Dawes Rolls, early-20th-century government documents that form the basis of the Cherokee citizenship process. She said she was simply corroborating the family stories of Native American lineage that she has often recounted."

    If she did put her ancestry down as Native-American in any resumes or school applications than it's end game for her as a Presidential candidate.  They'll find it if it exists too.

    I can't believe the Dems are actually considering her as a possible 2020 candidate. And that has nothing to do with Native American Ancestry (or lack thereof). If Hillary, with all her power and money, couldn't win, how could a poor man's Hillary have a chance?

    I can't believe anyone gives a shit about this very insignificant issue.  She was just curious about her ancestry.  She is not running a a platform of being Native American.  Trying to defame her with this is typical mudslinging bullshit politics.  But believe what you want.  Politics are all a big fucking joke anyway in the US today anyway.

    This is all ridiculously overblown, and if this is the best the GOP can do when they're looking for terrible things dems are up to, then the dems must be doing pretty fucking well.

    It's obvious the GOP is feeling desperate.  I'm always happy to see them reveal that fact.

    Honestly, she brought it on herself. 

    But I agree, I think the country has bigger issues to figure out

    Agreed. Another fucking fossil on the ballot. (She'll be a septuagenarian in 2020.) And I actually like love Warren, but I'd never vote for her old ass.

    I love my grandma, but I won't even get in a car that she's driving.

    It's petty bullshit like this that is making a joke of US politics.  I'm barely even able to stomach voting anymore.  I will, but it's all a big joke anymore.  I grow cynical at times like this.

    Just about everything you’ve read on the Warren DNA test is wrong

    Reporters and politicians rushed to say the test shows she was only 1/1024th Native American. But that's a huge misinterpretation of the data.

    If that becomes a general issue then I really will be convinced that Hillary lost because she's a woman.

    Reagan was 69 when he took office.  Trump is 70.  But God forbid we have a 70 year old Democratic old woman run for president.  Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooo!!!

    Speaking for myself: I'm not sexist; I'm ageist.

    I like Hillary, too. And I would've voted for her over her dickhead husband a thousand times over in the nineties, but not in 2016.

    Not reading the article but I'm wondering if anyone heard actual Native Americans get interviewed about this on NPR?  They are all a wee bit upset at the whole thing.

    I wasn't suggesting you're a sexist. It's just that Trump was over 70 when he won the election, and his age really wasn't an issue at all for either side. So if that age suddenly becomes an issue when it's a female candidate, that would tell me it is indeed a sexist thing in general. Especially since women have longer average lifespans than men.
