    Yeah you do.

    You voted for and support a man that did it and lied about it.

    Yeah.... you do know that she is a woman right? So she is a minority in the power structure.

    Yeah but she's a rich, white woman....she was hoping to move up on the oppression hierarchy which is one of the most important things for our friends on the left.

    Not sure anybody really cares, but the politics of being a member of the tribe is a sticky thing, because as AmEx used to say, 'Membership Has Its Privileges™' in terms of federal money and benefits.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherokee_freedmen_controversy

    Not Cherokee, but I remember watching a documentary about a small tribe in the Pacific Northwest, where the tribe started getting casino money, which was distributed as equal shares among all tribe members. Right before the money started rolling in, the tribal leadership severely tightened blood requirements which kicked out like 1/4 of the tribe, and as a result, payouts were significantly higher to those who remained. All the ejected tribe members had to vacate their homes on tribal land and find somewhere else to live.

    Wow, did you really use credibility as question when we have Trump as president?

    Why is credibility a question for Warren and not Trump?

    Elizabeth Warren is appealing, ironically, to tribal politics.

    Even Chris Cillizza at CNN is now standing down on this. Warren is toast and she light the fire herself. She is not any kind of a victim here. She did this to herself.

    Hasta la vista, Liz.

    it's such a self-inflicted blunder that it makes me think she didn't really want to run.

    Let's be honest: no viable democrat presidential candidate wants ANY part of being offered up as the sacrificial lamb vs Trump in 2020.

    This stunt by Warren is one of the dumbest political moves I've seen in a while - with the current climate that's saying something.

    It really isn't that serious.

    We have a man that talked openly about how he sexually harassed women and who has evaded taxes, on top of being in feuds with pornstars.

    A year from now no one will care about this. Hell, Trump has even moved on from it. It was the leading story for a day.

    As far as political scandals go this is about a 1/10. No one is changing their vote because of this.

    I am a crude idiot? I am not the one that had unprotected sex with a pornstar months after my wife gave birth to my son... that’s all Trump.

    She used it for sympathy and to get ahead in the identity politics victimhood that is so prevalent in left circles.
    Referring to herself as the ONLY minority on Harvard Law's staff and being used in that manner does unfairly
    benefit her.

    This is just a reflection of the idiocy with victimhood and identity politics. I don't think a rich, white woman
    in Oklahoma is somehow a victim.

    Everyone has been slighted at some time in world history.
