2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[King Kreole]

You’re doing a disservice to yourself and the Warren campaign as long as you keep clinging to the fiction that it’s a smear. It’s not a smear.

The smear is that Elizabeth Warren falsely claimed Native American heritage to scam her way to career benefits. That has been roundly debunked by The Boston Globe's investigative journalism team. You're now trying to shift the narrative to Elizabeth Warren saying her parents falsely told her they eloped when they didn't (they did). Best of luck to you.

He needs to fall back, too many events.

Trump is definitely about to win again.

Before you get despaired...

Last quarter Trump raised $54M and the RNC raised $51M. For a total of $105M.

So let's say this quarter Trump raised $65M and RNC raised $60M for that $125M total. It may be higher for Trump, lesser for RNC but whatever..

What it tells me is two things...

1. Trump campaign itself is on par with what all the Dem candidates are raising. So no big deal IMO.

2. The RNC fundraising is what's eye popping. The DNC is struggling. What happened in 2016 was the Trump campaign outsourcing so much of its field work and ops to the RNC since the Trump campaign was notoriously disorganized. Remember, Hillary outspent Trump by a healthy chunk.

Despite the DNC struggling, the Dems are so much more decentralized. ActBlue is used by every candidate and the Republicans don't have an answer to that though they just started "WinRed" but it hasn't caught fire. So candidates are getting more of the pie on the Dem side.

The DCCC and DSCC also raised a lot of money too. More than their GOP counterparts.

No, your first sentence is a strawman you conveniently qualified with “to scam her way to career benefits.”

The actual issue is she lied about her race and family background her whole life, for whatever reason it may be, regardless of whether it got her a job or just her recipe in the Pow Wow Chow cookbook.

And her parents did not elope over her mom’s fake native American heritage. That was a lie she told as late as 2012. Receipts have already been pulled on it.

Elizabeth Warren’s story of racist grandparents disputed by Cherokee genealogist

Her parents were married in a public ceremony with a well-known community pastor and her mom wasn’t native American.

The more her supporters juelz for her lies, the worst it will get for her cause the story’s going nowhere. It hasn’t even started yet.

Being 80 is too old to be president. Both Bernie and Joe should drop out.

This is just categorically false. Why do you think people keep talking about Harvard touting her as a POC hire? The entire scandal, dating back to her Senate run against Scott Brown, has been based on her getting special career benefits because she lied about being Native American. It's an affirmative action scandal. Pow Wow Chow cookbook isn't at the heart of this smear, Harvard and the State Bar of Texas are. Falsely believing you have a claim to Native American identity because your parents told you exaggerated stories about your ancestry is just embarrassing. Purposefully lying about your identity to scam your way into benefits reserved for POC is a scandal with some teeth. Unfortunately for you, the latter has been debunked.

And her parents did not elope over her mom’s fake native American heritage. That was a lie she told as late as 2012. Receipts have already been pulled on it.

If you want to turn this issue into "Elizabeth Warren naively believed some family lore her parents told her that turned out to be false" then be my guest. That's a nothingburger scandal.

But keep pushing it, you'll take her down one day
