2020 Democratic Primary Tag

The NY Times has an extensive report on the lasting and profound damage to Elizabeth Warren's presidential ambitions from her decision in October to release the results of a DNA test to supposedly prove she was Native American. When the DNA test was released, we noted the problems, Elizabeth Warren DNA test does NOT prove she’s Native American, contrary to the hype. 

Now that midterms have ended our eyes have strayed to the 2020 presidential election. The Democrats have shown eagerness to do all they can to unseat President Donald Trump. That eagerness means anyone with a D after their name will say anything to get their name out and most of us respond, "Who are you?" For example: Former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick announced he will not run for president in 2020.

Midterms are over, so it's time for Democrat presidential hopefuls to eye the 2020 presidential election.  Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) is the latest to announce her plans to make a decision about running for the Democrat nomination. At the Know Your Value conference in San Francisco, Harris told co-host Mika Brzezinski that deciding to run is a "very serious decision":  “Over the holiday, I will make that decision with my family.”

A recent Rasmussen survey of a hypothetical match-up between former First Lady Michelle Obama and President Trump has Obama victorious. From Rasmussen:
Michelle Obama has been making the rounds promoting her new book, prompting buzz about a potential presidential run, which she has vehemently denied. But with the midterms over and the focus on 2020, voters think she’d stand a chance.

Failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton may run for a third time, according to aide Philippe Reines. The question is, do the Democrats want her? Hillary has done her best to stay in the limelight, inserting herself into the narrative, giving speeches and interviews, and going on a 13 city tour with her husband President Bill Clinton. Yet her approval rating remains low and some of her comments have had the left moaning and groaning.

Elizabeth Warren is not a spontaneous politician. Much like Hillary Clinton, every political move is planned out meticulously. It's why Warren has become notorious for avoiding unplanned encounters with reporters, where she can't control the format. Her preference has been to sit down only with friendly interviewers who will not challenge her in any meaningful way.

Elizabeth Warren is not Native American. Her ancestry has been traced by Cherokee genealogists back to the early 1800s, as far back as there are records, and there are no Native American ancestors. The one potential Native American ancestor was Warren's great great great grandmother, Sarah O.C. Smith, but an initial 2012 report about that was debunked and The Boston Globe was forced to issue a retraction.
