Pocahontas, if you've paid even a little attention

the democratic senator from Massachusetts.

to her claim that she is of Native American descent

that Warren claimed her status as a minority

Which brings us to what Warren did recently,

out of the blue, she released a five plus minute video

in which she travels back to her hometown,

The video is slickly produced and has all the hallmarks

of a video someone running for president,

The shots of Warren doing normal people stuff,

you know, like walking and pointing at things

and repeated mentions of how Warren's mother

Warren, on the phone with renowned Stanford geneticist,

Carlos Bustamante, he's an advisor to 23andMe,

we've all heard of that, asked whether Trump is right,

or her mother is right and if she does in fact

have a Native American ancestor in your pedigree.

- Which, if you ask me is not exactly definitive.

Think of it this way, if I go to the doctor for a physical

and at the end, when I ask them if I'm healthy,

I'm feeling good, but I'm not feeling great, right?

I'd rather have heard, you are absolutely healthy!

You are going to live until you are 120 years old.

The word, suggest, from Bustamante throws a decent slice

A test Trump himself has routinely called on her to take

doesn't help her case all that much either.

somewhere between 1/64 an 1/1,024 Native American.

Now sidebar on the timing of all of this.

Warren's people say the results were released

But of course, DNA tests measure one thing,

That's something that the Secretary of State

in his response to the whole thing, saying quote,

"Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection

"to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation,

even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong."

"Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests

"with her continued claims of tribal heritage."

All of which leaves me wondering why did Warren

Yes, of course, I get what she was trying to do.

was doing her some damage among skiddish democrats

Democrats are still bitter about the 2004 campaign

that he had badly exaggerated his acts of bravery

Kerry was caught flat-footed by an attack

on what most people believe was his greatest strength,

his military service in Vietnam and really never recovered,

So Warren wanted to tell democrats that she was ready

for Trump's attacks and had the facts 100% on her side.
