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.

Elizabeth Warren and her Republican challenger Geoff Diehl met for their first debate on Friday night. Warren's DNA test came up right away, as she tried to spin it into an example of transparency.
