Elizabeth Warren's DNA test identifying her distant Native American ancestry is at its root a first stab at a question all 2020 Democratic hopefuls must answer: How do they run against a foe as menacing as Donald Trump?
It is a mark of how the President has dragged campaign politics into a surreal era that what was seen as a de-facto declaration of a coming White House bid by a major rival involved an investigation into her own genetic make-up.
The President has long mocked Warren for claiming she has a Native American connection and said he would love to confront her about it in a presidential debate.
"My family history is my family history," the Massachusetts Democratic senator declared at the start of a video accompanying the results of her DNA testing.
"This isn't just about casual racism, war whoops, tomahawk chops ... Trump can say whatever he wants about me, but mocking Native Americans, or any group, in order to get at me, that's not what America stands for," she said.
In what could be a preview of things to come, the President immediately dismissed Warren's attempt to choose her own narrative.
"One one-thousandth?" Trump later asked reporters Monday, quickly spotting the most damaging potential of Warren's DNA result -- the finding first reported by The Boston Globe that she is between 1/32 and 1/1024th Native American.
Trump's mockery encapsulates the conundrum facing Democrats as the 2020 campaign kicks into gear, even before the 2018 midterm race wraps up in 21 days.
As a supposedly golden generation of Republican candidates and Hillary Clinton discovered in 2016, Trump is a dangerous because he lacks shame. There's no level to which he will not stoop for political gain....

If she is “somewhere between 1/32nd and 1024th” injun, whoever did the DNA test didn’t know their *** from a hole in the ground. They should have read the instructions enclosed in the test kit.
1/32? They did?
LOL
They think what she did was effective?
ooooooookay.
Look who it is.
Even the Cherokee Nation doesn’t want her.
Maybe the Aboriginals in Australia will take her.
true
He just speaks the truth. The others should be ashamed. Never forget how everyone walked past Ben Carson when there was an announcement snafu at the debate entrance. And Trump stood with him until the situation was respectfully righted.
No...Trump is smart
Using their own tactics back on the dims
Dims have no shame
Dims stoop low for political gain
Trump just does it better....and makes fun of it.
Translated: Trump is better at playing hard ball than the dems who have been playing it that way for years and he's teaching other republicans it's okay to hit back.
This is driving the left crazy. In the past they could depend on the republicans to react a certain way due to long standing ethics which were holding the pubbies back. No more Mr. Nice Guy as more and more pubs are finding their spines to fight in kind.
If anyone has dragged the art of politics into the gutter; it's the mob of dems.
Terra Haute radio station. And I though Warren was crazy. Whoever wrote this editorial is just as wacked out and full of crap.
They think that Warren is legit. Even the Cherokee Nation doesn’t think she’s legit. My wife probably has more Cherokee in her little toe than Warren has in her whole family. (It is a nice little toe, too).
I should call myself an Indian, Native American, Redskin (our football team), Original Explorers, Continental Invaders, and inventors of human head lacrosse and soccer.
We had two lawyers and anywhere from 2-4 paralegals in our extended family. Therefore, being Jewish, we must belong to the long lost “SUE TRIBE”.
You should see our war bonnets - Turkey feathers surrounded by brisket stripes, with hardened little matzoh balls hanging from the end feathers, and Beet juice used for red coloring. We got that from our original European Indian tribe, the Austro-Hungarians of the Alps and Plains.
Our arrows are dipped in year old Saurekraut, the deadly poison known to man.
We created the Sue Tribe to handle claims against our raping, pillaging and plunder.
Oh our Indian ancestry is something to behold. Eat your fake heart out Warren. You’ll never make the tribe, any tribe. Your name “Fauxchohantas will give you way every time.
There are no FAKE INDIANS on our reservations.
[Just playing around before I go to sleep]
But by addressing her ancestry before a campaign, Warren is signaling she won’t be “swiftboated” like another Massachusetts senator who ran for President, John Kerry

At 1/1024 American Indian, were gonna need a *smaller* boat.
A birchbark canoe?
Senator—Chief Whirling Log—paints swastikas on President Trump.
White-hair-running-mouth can run all she wants... She’s wasting everyone’s time and money if she does.
She’s really just a dingbat.
That's right, derps. Trump is dangerous.
Keep that in mind.

“Trump is a dangerous because he lacks shame. There’s no level to which he will not stoop for political gain....”
You can say that about Warren, Clinton, and a whole host of others on the democrat side. Harry Reid rolled out the fake story about Romney not paying taxes, the dems rolled out the Billy Bush tape, and paid women to come forward and accuse Trump of sexual misconduct.
Their real problem with Trump is that, unlike most republicans, he doesn’t back down and he fights back against the democrat smear machine.
