Usually, it was one's traceable (marriage certificate, etc.) ancestor's name on the Dawes Rolls.

At this point, I would like to see if good old Fauxcahontas can drum up the "evidence". Really doubting it myself.
She'd publicize it if she had any actual proof. Highly likely that she doesn't.

I watched her on Fox News Sunday. When asked about Trump's breakthrough of agreeing to meet with Rocket Man, Warren offered her solutions which Roberts astutely pointed out, "Isn't he already doing that?" She is a brain dead zombie who repeats the party line talking points. She basically agreed with everything he's doing so why would anyone vote for her? Get rid of the old cow!

Or then again, perhaps not. After all, she is a woman of the left, where the belief is simply identifying as something is enough.
Interesting point. If one "feels" one is transgender, can't one also "feel" one is transracial? That'll give Affirmative Action policies/quotas a kick in the pants.

Rachel Dolezal became a public pariah because as a White woman, she pretended to be a Black woman. Why isn't Warren similarly considered a public pariah?

Every election cycle Hillary said the same thing, yet everyone knew she was going to run. In politics I guess these falsehoods are accepted as "little white lies".
Obviously considering all the lying Hillary did, those were small potatoes comparatively.

As to Warren, I hope she does run, as it will crystallize how far left the Democratic party has gone. Former (D) presidents like LBJ, JFK or even Bill Clinton could not get their parties nomination these days.
Heck had the DNC not played dirty pool with Bernie, he might have gotten the (D) nomination, and he is an avowed socialist.

Elizabeth Warren spoke to the National Congress of American Indians in February.

They were satisfied with what she had to say.

That's good enough for me.

I live in Mass and I can't stand Warren and there is a growing sentiment in her own party that all she does is whine and complain without offering up any positive solutions.
I know people that love her to death but boy they are a whacky and far Left as she is.


I think come the next elections in Nov 2018 she is going to have a tough time keeping her seat.

People are getting really tired of her.

Warren was clearly one of the early favorites for the 2020 nomination by the Democrats.

So it appears the Democrat semi-final is shaping up to be a three-way match between Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, not necessarily in that order. That gives the Dems a choice between:

Bernie Sanders - A card-carrying socialist from the old-school. While he will tip his hat towards the "Political correctness" and identity politics agendas that are the true core of the Democrat left agenda these days, he is not deeply passionate about any of that, and it shows. Bernie enters the 2020 race with the momentum as the most popular person in the Democrat party caucus, and should be regarded as the early favorite to win the Democrat party nomination. However, he probably won't win in it in the end, for one reason or another.

Joe Biden - A Bill Clinton unprincipled and pragmatic moderate lefty, again from the old school. He will convene the focus groups and hold his finger to the wind, much like Hillary did. He is not particularly passionate about either the Bernie Sanders socialism or the Kamala Harris race politics. He is a boob, but a nice guy at heart. He will have the full backing of the Democrat establishment, which has no qualms about playing dirty, even in their primary, and is already psychiatrically diagnosable for the extent of its collective derangement towards Donald Trump. The Democrat establishment will not be wanting to take any longshot chances in 2020. Don't be surprised if Biden wins the nomination.

Kamala Harris - A black woman who is the junior Senator from California. The Democrats have been positioning themselves as the party for darker skinned voters, and have made race politics and the constant playing of the race card the central tent-pole of what their party is all about. There are tens of millions of racist Democrat voters who literally live for this stuff. It is who they are, it is what they do. With Elizabeth Warren out of the race, Kamala will not only be equipped with the race card, but also with the gender card, as she is a woman. Stupid as it is, people on the left actually vote for candidates based solely on these criteria. If the leftist "Political correctness" and identity politics lynch mob gets whipped up sufficiently during the primaries, Harris could very certainly win the nomination for the Democrats.

If I had to make a premature early guess, it would have to be Kamala. The Democrats these days are nothing if not racists and sexists. Without that to motivate them, will they even go to the polls? I don't believe they will. It really is too early to say, but keep an eye out for Kamala Harris to win the Democrat nomination and take on Donald Trump in November 2020.

I don't know how anyone could ever vote for Elizabeth Warren, for anything! Her screaming-meemie fits are scary!

I'm with Bernie. If the DNC hadn't screwed him over, with lots of help from the media buddies of Clinton, we would have seen a very different election. Also, Sanders has a similar trade policy to Trump's. And hell yeah I'm a democratic socialist. I do not want to live in an authoritarian state, nor do I want to live in old time Calcutta where children are blinded in purpose to make better beggars.
