Elizabeth Warren Will Not Let Donald Trump Define Her
The Nation ^ | 10/15/2018 | Joan Walsh

Posted on 10/16/2018 9:21:14 AM PDT by nikos1121

Three things are true about Elizabeth Warren’s five-minute video debunking Donald Trump’s claim that she’s lying about her Native American roots. First, it’s a terrific introduction to her family history. Second, it won’t change any Republican minds. And third, that doesn’t matter. It’s aimed squarely at Democrats and the media—and yes, it’s an early salvo in what will certainly be a crowded Democratic presidential primary.

I’ve sworn I would ignore 2020 politics until after the 2018 midterms, and that I will resist endorsing a Democrat as long as is humanly (for me) possible. With this piece, I’m breaking the first promise, but not the second. Yes, please, pay way more attention to this November’s races, up and down your local ballot, than you do to parsing a geneticist’s assertion that Warren’s DNA sample provides “strong evidence of Native American ancestry.” And no, I’m not endorsing Warren by saying this is a great and moving video. There are a lot of fantastic progressive Democrats likely to run for president. We can talk about that later. We most certainly will.

But what matters today, on the eve of these all-important midterms, is that Warren is showing Democrats—and the media—that she knows how to fight. She won’t let Trump define her as either a faux Native American, an Ivy League elitist, or a liar.

I didn't post this for fellow Freepers to read completely thru, but I ask the question. I get the feeling that this article was written BEFORE Warren came out in public with her video.

In other words, it appears that this is part of an orchestrated effort to push back against Trump. Fact is, the premise of this article is wrong.

MSM-Democrats live in a fantasy world. When they gain power over our lives, they’re dangerous. Otherwise, they’re a joke.

Yep, he already defined her. Like low-energy Jeb.

It will change Independent minds - she's in big heap trouble, might as well start with the fire water now.

As good as Trump is, he could not come close to the self-immolation s#itshow that she is doing to herself.

Wait and see, the Democrats will shut her up by the end of the week. Probabaly sooner. Not because it’s blowing up in her face, but because it has been a turd in the punchbowl just as they are rolling up to the midterms.

“...Will Not Let Donald Trump Define Her...”

She’s pretty well defined herself.

Th article is from The Nation, not the Cherokee Nation. Likely from another 99.96 % white woman.

Oh, you betcha! It’s going to be bare-knuckle brawling, pull out all the stops, the likes of which we’ve never seen before up until November 6th.

The Socialist Democrat Party has nothing - NOTHING - to run on against President Trump.

America is WINNING everywhere you look! We’ll do just fine, Making America Great Again, WITHOUT them! :)

She won’t let Trump define her as … a faux Native American …
How about the Cherokee Nation, then? They just openly defined her as a faux Native American.

When The Nation grandly declaims, “We Will Not Allow (insert progressive setback here),” you can be confident that the disallowed progressive setback is a sure thing.

This article is a hoot. Maybe it should be posted under Humor. Oh, and here's an illustration from the Elizabeth Warren fight manual.

Too late, Trump has already defined her.

In a world with real Journalists she never would have gotten elected.

Anyone with a past of lying about race to gain employment advantages would never be put in office with the existence of an honest press!

Trump is merely doing with the MSM should have done years ago, labeling her as a fraud!
