Well, for a woman, I think they do.

Doesn't matter to Trump or his base. How many baseless conspiracies about Cruz and Hillary did he spout during the campaign with no facts?I think this was a 200IQ move if she really wants to have any shot at the presidency. Leaving this giant elephant to the election season would have been a total political suicide. Now Trump's biggest "ammo" against her has been greatly reduced, she just needs to own the fact that claiming heritage was a mistake, but at least she proved there was something in her claim. Much unlike all of Trump's claims that he's ever made.
He says that even when he's wrong though.She gave him ammo to say "I was right" and that's something you don't want Trump to have.
If you watch the mini-documentary she commissioned about this crap posted on her twitter you'll see she's not interested in doing that. This is all just absurd.I think this was a 200IQ move if she really wants to have any shot at the presidency.

I took a DNA test and it originally didn't show up but about a year later they updated it and it showed my native ancestry was from mexico from around aguascalientes"Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a person's ancestors were indigenous to North or South America"
Yeah I see she's doubling down on her supposed heritage. The Onion is right.If you watch the mini-documentary she commissioned about this crap posted on her twitter you'll see she's not interested in doing that. This is all just absurd.

It's not the Democrats who wouldn't vote for her. It's the most important group of voters in the country, the swing voters.I can't believe anyone is going to rank even moderately a mistaken family tree story as a reason not to vote for her, Democrats need to grow a fucking spine.
Browse conservative Twitter for 5 minutes and tell us you still think the underlined statement is true. Then, ramp what you see up by a factor of 100 for a preview of what things would like like in the middle of a general election cycle, should she get there.

This will be another meme based election in any case, won't it?I can see the "Punished Warren - A Hero Denied Her Tribe" memes now
This is why:She called Trump's bluff and took the test.
She told Trump to donate the 1 million to a Native American charity.
Why are people trashing her? She just made Trump look like a complete ass and beat him at his own game.

Fuck her white privileged ass. Do we really have nobody better then this old piece of shit who uses fake native ancestry as some sort of political tool while doing nothing for actual native issues?lmao this is such a stupid self own on warren's part. rip her prez ambitions
I'll repeat this again. Only Avenatti can win against Trump. Everyone else will just get dunked on and the media is going to eat it up.
Well...A level of advisement and political strategy about on par with what we've seen from other Democratic hopefuls in the post-Obama era.
What worries me here is how out of touch she may be if she genuinely thought this was a smart move. She's such a smart person too, how on earth did she think this was a good idea?
She never used it as a political tool. It was something dug up to use against her.Fuck her white privileged ass. Do we really have nobody better then this old piece of shit who uses fake native ancestry as some sort of political tool while doing nothing for actual native issues?

That she continues to stand by and announces this as if it makes her native?She never used it as a political tool. It was something dug up to use against her.

They entertain the idea of voting Republican. It's probably top 5.If this daft episode is in their top 20 issues list then I'd be amazed.
Remind me how people pretend to care more about this non-event than the approximately 300 scandals Trump had, none of which "ended" him?
Never mind to everything I said prior. The fact that she never discussed this with the Cherokee community is a way more toxic look than anything Trump could have said. She's gonna need a political miracle to bury this.
This is just the long tail of that initial incident. Every time she's brought it up has been reactionary.I believe the poster you're responding to is talking about her actions/statements today, not the old Scott Brown/Harvard application stuff.
I'm sorry, have you ever run for President of the United States after making claims about your Native American ancestry?
Okay makes sense since people already claim native ancestry without DNA.I never understood why people like to claim native ancestry.I was reading an article about this earlier today and it went into how the issue is that North American natives are actively discouraged from contributing their DNA to research along these lines, one of the reasons being so that 99.9% white people like Warren don't commission genetic reports and start walking around calling themselves Cherokee when they find that they have 0.09% Native blood.
The original article notes that they used South American and Mexican reference populations in Warren's test, not North American.
swing voters don't even exist. they're all closeted R or D anyway and will vote their preference.It's not the Democrats who wouldn't vote for her. It's the most important group of voters in the country, the swing voters.
Yup. It's Trump and the Republicans that look like asses for changing the goalposts all of the time.She called Trump's bluff and took the test.
