    Funny how that Laffer Curve jackpot never, ever pays out.

    Everything he says is a lie.

    Yes, the word "Pocohontas" out of Trump's mouth is a slur. Although. ... it would really be a slur if he was trying to disparage an actual Native American. Instead, he was making fun of a woman pretending to be a Native American -- for whatever benefits it has given her, if any. Which makes her as big an idiot as he is.

    She is not 1/32 Native American. That would have been if that great, great, great grandmother were 100 percent Native American. The generational range based on the ancestor the report identified suggests she’s between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native America.

    The test showed that Elizabeth Warren is 95 percent white European. Everyone who gets one of those home DNA tests finds some little nugget like that. It is insignificant. My sister did it and we found out that we had a smidge of Greek blood in us going back X generations. It amounts to a VERY small percentage of your DNA -- enough to be fairly insignificant. And it's common.

    She she be embarrassed releasing that, and suggesting it confirms her BS about being a native American. But that is who she is. She has no shame.

    Again, I don't disagree.

    But nothing in Trump's tweet was true.

    His financial disclosure form -- the bare minimum he had to submit, which gives a very incomplete picture of his business dealings -- has 100s of DBA corporations that he controls, with many doing business in Saudi Arabia. That is just a lie.

    It's a political miscalculation of the highest order on Warren's part. Another unforced error by the Dems. The average voter could have shrugged it off before, with Trump looking like an asshole. Now, it looks like she really is trying to identify as Native American, which most will find ridiculous.

    She hasn't learned the lesson of the Republican primary. Never take the bait, never play his game. You can't win. The audience is rigged. It reminds me of a teacher I had in 8th grade with whom I clashed all year. I'm sure that I was a punk and that he was probably right, but in my memory I just owned him every day. The audience was a bunch of 8th grade boys. The second he engaged, he lost.
