(14,093 posts)Remember how quickly she jumped on that "ZOMG! It was rigged" nonsense about the primaries from Donna Brazille's book and agreed with it before it was easily debunked?
Warren has a good voting record, but the more I see of her, the more I realize that she's a bonehead at campaigning and should never be on a presidential ticket.
She's handled this entire Native American thing terribly for six years running. It could have been put away as a nontroversy by a more adept politician.

When I heard she injected herself today it was difficult not to laugh. She handed Trump something that his base will savor

(5,693 posts)She did two things at once: Took the issue out of Trump's and her opponent's hands, and made Trump eat his words and renege on a promise/bet all at the same time, making him look like a coward and a liar. Not only that, Liz Warren even managed to turn this entire fiasco into a referendum on Trump's and the Republicans' racism overall. What is not to like about that?
