    I am telling you that most people don't know who these two people are. Do you really expect all the voters to memorize all the random senators in existence? I don't now who Bubba is. It is Trump? Trump has received quite a few sexual assault allegations. I also don't know who Hildog is? Is he a rapper? John Kerry is a millionaire but unless you are a radical communist then I don't see why you are against rich people.

    Most people don't even know who the Vice President is. This is a political forum for God's sake. People expect a slightly higher knowledge of politics in a political forum. :)
    '
    I'm not. You are the one who pointed out being rich as a negative. All I did was point out your laughable hyporacy since you have millionaires that run as well. Keep digging that hole if you must. :)

    I see you ran away from Bill Clinton's record with women. No surprise of course.

    Yes, but what I said is that nobody knows who these people are. Now a few people in a political forum might but that doesn't make them really famous figures. To be honest there aren't many on the left or right who have an opinion about them because only 5% of the population even knows who they even are.

    I never claimed that people shouldn't be rich because I'm not a communist. Only communists are against the existence of rich people or hate people for being rich.

    I strongly suspect that Bill may have engaged in sexual harassment and I also have the same suspicion about Trump. What about you? Do you have a double standard?

    QUESTIONS NOBODY IS ASKING: Can Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Save the Planet?

    To achieve this ambitious goal, she has proposed implementing what she calls a “Green New Deal,” a Franklin Delano Roosevelt–like plan to spur “the investment of trillions of dollars and the creation of millions of high-wage jobs,” according to her official website. “The Green New Deal we are proposing will be similar in scale to the mobilization efforts seen in World War II or the Marshall Plan,” she told HuffPost last week. “We must again invest in the development, manufacturing, deployment, and distribution of energy, but this time green energy.”

    A New, New Deal? Treating global warming as the moral equivalent of World War II? How fresh and original! As the legendary surgeon Dr. Rumack would say, good luck. I want you to know we’re all counting on you.

    You are ignoring the questions. Fine, that is your choice.

    I am skeptical you took any DNA test at all. And even if you did, how can we trust your interpretation? You may very likely have Indian and African DNA...in fact you could have more Indian DNA than Senator Warren. LOL!

    LoL

    And if the warm up which is not as severe as the Medieval Climate Optimum
    is followed by an Ice Age, as was the "Little Ice Age" that followed the Medieval Warm Up,

    They can as soon as they pop out a baby. The parents or parent benefit from their new anchor baby. And they do get services in CA. Might not be called welfare. But it’s tax payer funded.

    Nice try.

    The problem you are attempting to push back from is that a background check on Warren indicates there is no ancestry that can back her claim she was Native American. Something she claimed and was included on many lists and biographies.

    This claim should be an insult to Oklahoman's with Native American ancestry. So you might consider directing your ire at her, rather than those who are pointing it out.

    Further, in this day and age of identity politics and personal insult, Oklahoman's who might be offended by the use of the name "Pocahontas" need to grow thicker skin. The left goes far beyond that mild reference, so reaping what they sow is the name of the game.

    Just as before, no evidence, details, nor proof against Warren: argumentum ex silentio lack of contrary evidence.

    If she represents the future, than the US is in some dire times. She's utterly unqualified for her position.

    Yes, we should ask her former professors if she is qualified, like we would with Fuhrer Trump:
    Dr. Kelley would emphasize the words "dumbest" and "ever had."

    Trump's not my "fuhrer" or anyone else's. He's President. And that's one teacher's opinion. Which he's entitled to, but it doesn't really apply here. This candidate is POLITICALLY unqualified. I thought much the same of Trump earlier on in his candidacy.

    Well, those aren't important issues that have an impact on working people. This is the kind of stuff I'd expect to see in a reality tv show.

    Yes, they might export all of America's industrial base to RED COMMUNIST CHINA and blackmail American politicians that are in debt to them.

    Nothing in what you posted changes what I posted Bobby about her claim or what she was listed by at Harvard for her job. Let's try this again:

    When she came to Harvard Law School, she was — believe it or not — considered by some to be a “minority hire.” She listed herself as a minority on a legal directory reviewed by deans and hiring committees. The University of Pennsylvania “listed her as a minority faculty member,” and she was touted after her hire at Harvard Law School as, yes, the school’s “first woman of color.”

    This was no small thing. At the time, elite universities were under immense pressure to diversify their faculties (as they still are). “More women” was one command. “More women of color” was the ideal. At Harvard the pressure was so intense that students occupied the administration building, and the open spaces of the school were often filled with screaming, chanting students. One of the law school’s leading black academics, a professor named Derek Bell, left the school to protest the lack of diversity on campus.

    I remember it vividly. I was there. I arrived on campus in the fall of 1991, just after Bell left, and liberal activists were seething with outrage. They were demanding new hires, and the place almost boiled over when the school granted tenure to four white men. My classmate, Hans Bader, notes that the school wasn’t just under political pressure to make a “diversity” hire, it was under legal pressure as well. The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination had issued a “probable cause finding” that the school had discriminated against a professor named Clare Dalton when it denied her tenure. In Bader’s words, “Harvard’s faculty badly wanted to racially and sexually diversify their ranks to show their commitment to diversity, so that MCAD would not view future denials of tenure to unqualified minorities and women as being motivated by a discriminatory animus.”



    Now, are you still going to claim she wasn't listed as a minority when she taught and not only never changed it but claimed it overt and over?

    Think hard this time.

    Do I really need to dig up video of her claiming to be a Native American?

    Ok.



    And do I need to find Cherokee genealogists outright claiming she isn't?

    Ok.





    She's a proven liar and the fact you can't admit that reality is just sad but painfully predictable.

    Now please, next time actually research the issue before jumping in. :)
