A couple of young women from Oklahoma lived near me a few years ago. Both said they were part Native American. They had enrolled members of tribes who called them kin and had family mementos. But when it came time to prove it to college financial aide officers, they could not pull together the paperwork. Maybe it was lost, maybe they didn't try hard enough to find it. Maybe it didn't exist. Maybe it wasn't great grandpa who was Choctaw or part Choctaw. Maybe it was his cousin or cousin's cousin. This is not unusual. And not really their fault, imo.
I dunno how much benefit Warren got for saying she was part Indian. Universities say it wasn't important. The affirmative action she got was probably more based on being a woman. And the professions needed affirmative action.
Whether she benefitted or not is irrelevant (your moral relativism is showing).
She shouldn't have made the assertions...in any venue....unless she was certain.

Fwiw, Trump and his father falsely claimed for decades to be Swedish, including in Trump's Art of the Deal bio book in 2000. To try to throw people of the trail of grandpa Drumpf's immigration to US, attempt to return permanently to Germany after making his money off the gold rush (running hotels with prostitution accommodated on site, bars and supply stores) and getting booted out of there for prior draft dodging.
Irrelevant.
Plenty of us who are critical of Warren aren't Trump supporters, or even Republicans.
She's a good actress. A created character or caricature of a caring person by the democrat party. I see a potential beer named after her.
She's a nothing political candidate and it's completely self inflicted. If you can't see her pseudo personality... well then, I afraid you're beyond help.

Your precious cheeto doesn't care about anyone other than himself, if you can't see that, than you're beyond help
No con... I knew exactly who I was voting for. A loud mouth NY'er who gets shi-uff done. He's the political equivalent to the guy at the end of the bar (uncle Don) who's always yelling at the TV, when CNN is on.
We voters figured at this point (after Obama), simply reversing all his regulatory crap, Trump would be regarded as economic genius. Turned out we were right. Thank goodness for the Ruskies fooling me.
Warren... she'll just raise taxes to pay for her lefty platform. So... Who's being con'd? some personal introspection might help.

The economy has been good since 2013 outside of the land that time forgot, and who was president then?.....
