I think she publicized her DNA results NOW to get it out of the way. I doubt she talks about it anymore, her claim of some NA ancestry is proven, no need for further discussion.

 

If Trump keeps harping on it, that's for the benefit of his base, no one else cares. 

 

Warren got out ahead of this.

 

I think whatever she originally had in mind......didn't happen. It'll be used against her....to gin up the base that would have never supported her anyway. Loss/Loss. 

 

Then again, from my POV it's possible to respect her while still hope she's not the Dem Nominee.

Asked to comment, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council, who declined to allow her name to be used, said in an email: "The NSC leads the regular and continuous coordination of the whole of government approach to addressing foreign malign influence and election security."

Asked who at the NSC was responsible, she did not respond. The White House eliminated the job of cyber security coordinator on the National Security Council.

The White House statement released after Friday's meeting lacked details of any new security efforts.

Article from July. Instead of bolstering protection from outside election hacking  .... we weakened what futile protection we did have?

That should be clear. But again we let the idiot win cause obviously as a group we ain't much smarter.

Huge surprise. Run up a huge deficit of tax cuts & blank checks to the military, then say the deficit has to be addressed with cuts to "entitlement" programs. 

GOP 2018: We've eradicated unemployment! The economy is the best it's ever been! Also, we need to get rid of entitlement programs... Yup, everybody is working and this is the wealthiest nation in the history of the world... BY FAR. That doesn't mean our citizens are entitled to go through life not having to worry about dying from a treatable disease, having their power shutoff, or their kids going to bed hungry. **** 'em!

The thing with Elizabeth Warren's Native American results is, it is pretty much negligible.  At 6 generations, we are talking about 1/64, or around 1.5% Native American ancestry. I understand that Bustamante is a world-class specialist when it comes to Native American ancestry, but on some calculators even I get close to 2% Native American.  And guess what, I am South Asian.  A lot of Northern Europeans (not White Americans, I mean Northern Europeans like Swedes) also score some Native American on some calculators.  The reason for that is that Native Americans went to the Americas from Siberia.  Both Europeans and Native Americans share an ancestry called Ancestral North Eurasian.

There aren't many Native American populations that are 100% Native American remaining in the world.  I remember looking at genetic data of Mayans.  They scored close to 10%.  One group that is 100% Native American is the Karitiana from Brazil.

I just don't buy Elizabeth Warren's claim.  Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't.  Like I said, even some Swedes can score Native American.

I don't have any NA blood although one side of my family tree has been here since the early 1700s. [Edited to change 9s to 0s]

 

Warren never claimed any percentage, she said she had some ancestry. She's never claimed her ancestry to further her education or career. Those are more Trump lies. She said her mother told her she has some NA ancestry.

Exactly. The issue, that was never actually an issue in the first place....is dead.
