AS usual they'll pick a nobody from the depths so that they have no track record and by the time people figure out who and what they are it'll be too late...they did it with Bill and Obama. Nobodies full of hip empty slogans and promises.
"Pocahontas" was simply a famous Native American woman. There are no negative traits associated with her and her name is not a racial slur. It is only a way to poke fun at Warren because she claimed falsely to be part Indian.

Bill Clinton was a two-term governor of Arkansas who had been Attorney General of Arkansas prior to his election to that office. Hardly "no track record". The economy flourished under his administration, and there was actually no national debt! Only time in my lifetime that I can recall that being the case.
Any predictions as who'll buy the opportunity to lose to Trump next election? Does Pocahontas have enough money?
Here's the question I'm asking: Any predictions as to who the Koch brothers will select as they buy the next election? I'm pretty sure they have enough money.
I'm not saying that "Pocahontas" could never be used as a racial slur. If you had a Native American colleague, and you called her "Pocahontas" at the office instead of her real name, that could be seen as a racial insult. But in Warren's case the whole point is that she isn't Native American but once claimed to be. Negative attention is called not to Warren's association with Native Americans but to her lack of any legitimate connection to them. The insult is entirely directed at Warren herself, not to NAs as a group, although I can understand why there might be some confusion.
There is no confusion. I 100% believe your opinion of the issue. Im saying it is still wrong to do so. using the stereotypical name is an insult in and of itself no matter who it is directed towards or why.
You could easily call Warren out on this issue without ever provoking the name, but President Trump likes Nicknames and insulting people.
The saying goes, the road to hell is paved with "good" intentions".
What Trump and others mean by calling her Pocahontas is irrelevant to the reality of the use of the word.
And a huge reason why Trump won is because regular American workers believed Trump would make their lives better, bring back Jobs and lower the national debt.
But Trump's tax cuts will raise workers income by 0.8% and raise the richest 0.1% of Americans income by 14.2% (and that's not going to change workers lives.) https://www.forbes.com/sites/janetno.../#33ce27ed65b9
Donald Trump has failed to do the things that made so many workers vote for him, and next election Trump will loose most of the typical democrat voters who voted for him.
It’s 3 years until the next election. An eternity in politics. Have to wait and see who has their hat in the ring during the primaries to get a whiff of who will be the candidates. Too early now.
