Once again why is this brought up time after time in spite of the lack of evidence, are their no better issues to discuss.
Scott Brown. I blame all this ugliness on him.

I'd rather have a business CEO run the country than some little radical community organizer with NO track record.
I would take Jamie Dimon, Warren Buffett or Bezos in a heart beat, he is not a business CEO.

What he did is worse because you don't like Trump. I get that.

Again DNA test. Ends all of this quickly. The fact that Warren has not produced one speaks volumes.

You're right, I don't like Trump, but really this is about his hypocrisy, not the validity of the family's decision to hide their origins in Germany.

Well they are all FAR LEFTIES, so no surprise. Bezos also owns Washpo which is just a Democrat propaganda rag. Of course they would not use their business acumen to run the country, but instead engage in left wing social engineering, more wealth redistribution through more taxation, and other stuff that would bankrupt their companies, but its OK for the U.S. Just raise taxes, Hey its all good.

So she needs to do a DNA test because it's important to who, this is no different than the Trumps claim of Obama's birthplace. These are the issues that distract us from intelligent debate, she doesn't have to prove anything or will that be the standard for every politician.

No I'm impressed that Pocahontas made up this Indian lie and parlayed it into a Harvard Professor and now Senator gig...kudos Pocahontas. I give her points for taken advantage of the gullible but I have to admit this calls into question her qualification since she got where she got as a diversity hire. She has advanced racism by stealing this job from a more deserving Indian.

I don't like either party at all but did Trump play up being Swedish when he ran for office? I do remember Warren playing the Native American card. I know you like her because she might possibly be Native American. Can't prove she is isn't.

We need better people running for office. Neither the Dems or GOP seem to be able to produce anything good at all. Until we get more political parties to compete with the above this sort of meaningless dialogue will continue.

I don't care if someone is left or right but don't support the DEM's or GOP. Think outside the box. It is time.

Jamie Dimon, and Buffett are not far left. Just about any CEO would be an improvement. Trump was never, ever in the category of a respected businessman,

Oh Okay, maybe you want to back that up with some facts before you disappear once again as usual.
