Elizabeth Warren might have actually made things worse with her DNA gambit
CNN ^ | Updated 10:13 AM ET, Tue October 16, 201 | Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large

(CNN)Twenty-four hours after Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren shocked the political world with a five-minute video (and a mountain of documentation) aimed at putting to bed the controversy over her claims of Native American heritage, it's becoming increasingly clear the strategy amounts to a swing and a miss.

Warren's goal was to take the issue of her heritage off the table for nervous Democrats and to show that she was ready, willing and able to stand up to President Donald Trump if and when the time came that she was the party's nominee against him in 2020. The problem is that, when you strip away all of the glitz of her well-produced video, you are left with this: There's still no certainty that Warren is, in any meaningful way, Native American.

Yes, Stanford geneticist Carlos Bustamante tells Warren in the video that "the facts suggest that you absolutely have a Native American ancestor in your pedigree." But the estimates of just how much Native American blood Warren actually posses range from 1/64th to a whopping 1/1024th. Which, um, ain't a lot.

Yeah by proving her self proclaimed “woman of color” roots are even less credible they they were before she took the test.

Savor this article, because it will be the only one that CNN will run on the subject.

Later, when questioned why they aren't hammering Fauxahontas on her heritage claims, they will point to this one article and say "we've covered that already."

~~~

Might?

MIGHT?

I think CNN is starting to crack.

Repeat after me CNN:

Climate Change “might” be a hoax.

Russian Collusion “might” be a fraud.

Democrats “might” be inciting violent “mobs”

“suggest that you absolutely”

That’s lawyer talk, not scientist talk.

"That’s tough coming from CNN.

There's a big field of 2020 candidates for the Dems, which will be another disaster unless the field gets winnowed out ahead of time. CNN will probably do their part to cull the weak ones out of the herd well in advance so people don't notice the lack of party unity.

Folks...heed my words, this disgrace for a functioning human being. Ms. Elizabeth Warren, will never, ever become the POTUS!!! Case closed!!!

And if the good voters of Massachusetts had any brains they would vote to defeat her sorry butt, on November 6, 2018. Vote for Republican, Geoff Diehl for Senator in MA and send this misfit woman to the obscurity swamp, where she and others like her, so rightfully belong!!!

It was an attempt to cleanse her negatives in prep for a 2020 run.

She is now toast, will probably not even get re-elected to the Senate.
