Elizabeth Warren's campaign is stuck in neutral at best, in reverse at worst. She just isn't getting any momentum despite assembling a high-powered campaign team before anyone else, and announcing before any other major candidates. The DNA rollout was an unmitigated disaster, and compounded Warren's original sin, her false claim to be Native American.

Joe Biden's proclivity for being handsy with and nuzzling women in creepy ways has been well known for years. He didn't hide it, he did it in front of the cameras, and Democrats just wrote it off as Creepy Uncle Joe being Creepy Uncle Joe again.

Elizabeth Warren has tried desperately to keep herself in the news cycle, as newcomers like Beto, and possible contenders like Joe Biden, dominate the campaign coverage. Even fresh-face "Mayor Pete" is getting better coverage than Warren. Warren's tactic is to roll out every couple of days a big, nation-changing plan, like breaking up big tech. It doesn't seem to have helped her at all in the polls, where she is unable to break out of the single-digit pack.

I wouldn't call our Founding Fathers perfect, but man did they leave us one of the greatest documents penned in the English language. Their brilliance provided America not only with the Bill of Rights, but with the Electoral College. Grumbles about the Electoral College have existed for a long time, but after President Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, its elimination shot to the top of the Democrats list of issues in their campaigns. Sen. Elizabeth Warren proclaimed her wish to abolish the Electoral College at a recent town hall, but I don't think she's given it much thought to the mess this would create.

Elizabeth Warren's unjustifiable claim to be Native American for employment purposes continues to frame the narrative of her presidential campaign. Call it the Apology Phase. The first phase was the Family Lore Phase. That Phase lasted from late April 2012, when it was first discovered she claimed to be Native American, until the summer of 2018. Warren repeatedly insisted she was Native American based on what her family told her, and anyone who questioned her story was attacking her parents.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has a serious problem, and it just won't go away.  She tried explaining that her high cheekbones, family lore, and Pow-wow Chow recipes meant that she was Native American; she issued denials that she claimed Native American heritage status for years; she tried partnering with Native Americans on gambling rights; and now she's trying out support for reparations for Native Americans in the vain hope this one will fly . . . and disappear her decades-long ethnic fraud problem.

The 2020 election campaign season is kicking into high gear, and a number of Democratic party hopefuls are jumping onto the reparations train. But it's one they may find could derail their aspirations for higher office.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is on the 2020 campaign trail, and she is quickly learning that there is no escaping her well-documented ethnic fraud in repeatedly claiming to be Native American, apparently to further her career. While attending a campaign event in Georgia, Warren was heckled by a man who shouted "Why did you lie?"  Holding up a sign with "1/2020" written on it, the man repeatedly shouted at her as he was escorted out of the venue by security.

As one of my less savory duties for LI readers, I get to watch things like Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) formally announce her 2020 presidential campaign.  As we like to say, I watch, so you don't have to . . . though you can, of course—the video is embedded below. There were many interesting things about her Saturday announcement, but perhaps the most interesting didn't take place in Lawrence, Massachusetts, but in the media coverage of her announcement.  Even in Warren-friendly publications, the weight of her questionably-motivated presentation of herself as a Native American throughout her career hangs in the air around her like an albatross carcass, stinking up even her proudest moment as she announces her run for the Democrat nomination for president.

Democrats are right to be worried that Elizabeth Warren's Native American controversy is eating away at her viability as a national general election candidate. The analogy to Hillary's emails is on point, an oozing campaign wound that saps the candidate's strength. The recent revelation that Warren signed her Texas State Bar registration card in 1986 as an "American Indian" comes on the heels of the disastrous DNA test rollout in October 2018.
