Let me say I am not the biggest EW fan, and I dont see her as the D presidential candidate in 2020.
But her timing and message are perfect in this DNA business. I see a lot of hand wringing from the pundits who call it a distraction from the Nov midterms. Nope. Wrong. Very wrong.
tRump is busy on the campaign trail, acting tough, calling people names and lying about policy and reality left and right. Warrens announcement and challenge gets right up in tRumps grill. It shows he lied about her heritage. It shows he name called about her heritage based on lies. It shows he was grandstanding about her heritage when he made his million-dollar challenge.
Her rebuke shows once again that he is a liar and a cheat, and that one should assume that everything he says is a lie. Her rebuke shows how his tough guy attitude toward women falls apart when a strong woman stands up for herself. Her rebuke lays bare the fact that tRump is all hat and no cattle, that he is not and never has been a man of his word.
Most important, his backing down from Warren sends a strong message to Ds and independents that he can be beaten, that truth is not tRumps friend, and that the emperor has no clothes.

Wish she were my Senator.

You would have to move to MA for that, however she really is a Senator for us all.

How does he think one takes a DNA test?

I think he believes it's a gynecological test. In his mind - genealogical = gynecological.

(22,976 posts)Warren could take 100 DNA tests, all with the same results, and 45 & Co. will still divert, minimize, belittle.
Just like Obamas birth certificate: its doctored, its not the right form, blah, blah, blah.
Republican cultists cannot be separated from their talking points. The public has to be reached by Democrats/progressives. Its tougher, since theres no bottomless cash or media infrastructure to match what Republicans possess.
All of which needs to be seriously worked on. Because the assholes in power will not go quietly. And if they do go, theyre never far away, as weve seen time and again.
