    Politically, she is dead in the water. Won't be able to get up the money from donors. Even Chuck Todd of Meet the Press is saying her campaign is over before she Officially declared. That the Other Demos like Kamala Harris will tear her up.


    Campaign Over: Liz Warren Also Claimed American Indian Heritage for Texas State Bar.....


    As Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tries to put her Native American heritage controversy to rest, another chapter in the scandal has just been written. It turns out, not only did the senator claim American Indian heritage at Harvard, she also claimed it when applying for the Texas State Bar in 1986.

    This latest revelation, published exclusively by the Washington Post, with documents and all, will undoubtedly keep this in the news for quite awhile.

    The RNC issued the following response:

    “For the seven years this has been in the news, Elizabeth Warren has refused to apologize," said RNC spokesman Mike Reed. "Now, four days before her formal presidential launch, she’s issued a politically opportunistic apology that doesn’t go nearly far enough. Warren pretended to be a minority to climb the Ivy League ladder – a lie that will continue to haunt her presidential ambitions.”.....snip~

    Even the Lame Stream Media is asking her what other documents did she do this with. As they know she used the Native Indian play to get in with Harvard. She is ducking and dodging on that answer.

    While I can understand some people taking advantage of facet to open a door, at least make it something you own honestly. Once would be an oops... multiple times is intentional.

    I can't see how that would matter to anyone but those who aren't going to vote for her anyways...being an serial adulterer and liar, ***** grabber, multiple bankrupt con man didn't stop his base from voting for trump...claiming she has some native ancestry which is true, is nothing but the trump base will claim it's the commie conspiracy or something more ludicrous...

    Really? How well did the do starting January 2007 to 2015 the last time they had major control?
    Unemployment from 4.5% up to 10% and over 8% for the next 4 years and then slooooooooowly trickling down only because of the private markets and businesses.
    LFPR dropping to history lows
    Huge increase in people on unemployment and welfare and STAYING on those programs for years
    Income earners dropped.
    Deficit from $161B to $1,400B and over $1,000B for the next 3 years only coming down because Republicans forced sequester.

    And what are the offering, more of the same. And what has Bobby Frances O'Rourke ever done but lose an election? What's he going to do different?

    All I heard from her today is how hard she had it in life, give me a break, and how she is going to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. That's not what we need we need someone who can DO DO DO DO DO DO and govern and get things accomplished.

    It appears Elizabeth Warren is running for President despite new evidence of a lying hypocrisy.
    Someone excused that to youth but she was 37.

    The one good thing about this announcement is it means Hillary will not join the race.
    I've concluded that Tom Harkin in 1992 was not trying to win, just to win Iowa so no candidate would win both New Hampshire and Iowa, keeping hope alive for Bill Clinton.
    In 2016 Warren might have taken that role for Hillary, but they realized she'd still lose to Bernie in New Hampshire and if Warren was second there Hillary might have to drop out.
    So she represents the old bitch establishment wing of the party.
    I see no chance for Warren to win the nomination.

    Considering only the 6 announced candidates I could easily see Warren finishing last in Iowa.
    First of all, she will be expected to win New Hampshire, so anyone who needs good numbers in one of the first 2 states just to get to Nevada will concentrate on Iowa and neglect New Hampshire until Iowa is over.
    At least one of them might drop out then, possibly 2 because it's hard to start so badly then rebound. None of these candidates have obvious southern strength. Only that can keep someone going with any real chance of a comeback.
    Warren's victory in New Hampshire is far from certain and she'll have to work hard there to secure it, so even she might not give Iowa the standard attention.
    Even if she does, she'll gain few votes from warmth of her personality. Her best weapon will be commercials and I doubt she'll tailor any of them to subjects Iowans care about.
    To get her to last means falling behind the longshots there.
    That would be Tulsi Gabbard. I guarantee any Iowan who shakes hands with both Warren and Gabbard will like Gabbard better.
    Her rival for last might be Julian Castro. I have no idea what method he'll use in Iowa or if he'll try hard, saving his strength for Nevada. Still a handsome young man will get votes an old bitch can't reach.

    The most important reason Warren will do badly in Iowa may be the reason Hillary struggled there and in so many caucus states.
    Primaries have secret ballots. In caucuses people go to the corners representing one candidate or the other. In 2016 people could see their friends and neighbors making a deal with the Devil (Hillary), so I think a lot of them yielded to peer pressure and went to the Bernie side.
    In this case the devil is not obvious, but peer pressure remains, especially among the women.
    I have a feeling that with 2 or 3 women on the ballot the vote swing in any given room might quickly change from 24-16 to 32-8.
    So if Harris, for instance, was noticeably ahead of Warren in any precinct, the gap may end up 3-1.
    Of course Warren could win some precincts that way too. However I suspect she'll visit only the cities, arranging big rallies-including paid guests-and let others take the boondocks. So Harris will dominate most precincts.
    Of course men vote too, but I can't picture too many men picking Warren over Harris.
    Again I think 48% is the limit for any woman and if the trio of females split that it could be 38-6-4 and Warren might be the 4.
    The man most likely to dominate Iowa is Delaney, but could ha hammer even Castro to 3%. I doubt it.

    Wrong!

    Open the racist image in another tab and ZOOM up to 400 on that vase.

    The light reflection is in the exact same spot AND the color patterns match to the Greek vase.

    Gullibility and failure to fact check for themselves seem to be requisite attributes for being a BLOTUS supporter.

    Her and Bernie should just step aside, the far left is already so overcrowded. Trump will embarrass her for 6 months.
    Trump Supporters will be at every rally with 50s style wild western wooping.

    I would love to see a Gabbard/Klobuchar ticket
    Well the only person hurt was the persons that did not get a position due to Warren's not being truthful on her applications.
