Pocahontas

It's not salt. It's expectation.

I don't even care if Trump actually does make great trade deals and the economy goes through the roof (he won't, and it won't). I don't want the leader of America sounding like a child. And I don't mean to include all children in that statement, or even most. I should specify young child; maybe even preschool.

I have some standards for President. They're not that rigid. I just don't want someone to completely embarrass me.

just so you know you are playing right into trumps hands. He makes these comments with full self awareness. It is the very thing that has made him decimate all of his opponents so far. There is a very large segment of america that is through with all the hand wringing, masochistic tendencies of those on the left merely looking to be offended by or offended on behalf of someone else. The more the news runs with this, the stronger he will be. Normal middle america's reaction to this is going to be "what.. that's all he said? This is the latest big controversy? Maybe trump has a point.. maybe I'll ignore the next big controversy"

You are helping him whether you realize it or not.

Oh, I just loves me the "you're playing into his hands" argument. It speaks solely to the unmitigated stupidity of his supporters.

They'll show me - they'll actually elect this buffoon President! That'll teach me.

Smart group.

you are playing right into his hands, dummy. How has every other manufactured controversy worked out so far? You think what he said was an accident? A slip of the tongue?

[Cancel 2020.1]

I've actually seen people say that, and even saw one guy write it in an editorial. They're electing a President, a man whose responsibilities here & around the world are absolutely enormous, to "tick off PC lefties."

Smart, smart group.

[BRUTALITOPS]

you can sarcastically call them smart or whatever you want, the bottom line is that this is his fully self aware game plan - and so far, it has worked for him. You are currently his pawn.

I'm not going to tailor the way I talk or react to this kind of BS to appease braindead lunatics. Sorry.

This isn't "pc outrage." This is me not wanting a Presidential candidate to act like a baby.

Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't sarcastically call them smart. Because they're friggin' stupid. Really stupid people.

many americans will say your reaction is what is childish. Two sides to every coin.

Mine's the smart side.

I'm staying there.

i think it's more embarrassing warren would want to 'culturally appropriate' native american heritage for her own selfish benefit

this is it for me. She has always said that she identifies as white. There should be no reason to put native american in her application forms. She is a smart person. She knows the effect placing this will have on her chances for acceptance.

@thing

Do you feel accomplished today?

Pocahontas can tweet with all the colors of the wind.

yeah.... thats our thing again... you get to call her senate president elizabeth warren.

I find it interesting that you are more embarrassed about Trump saying Pocahontas than Elizabeth Warren claiming ancestry that doesn't exist. I understand being embarrassed by a Presidential candidate insulting people, but more embarrassed than white people trying to claim ancestry of somebody they feel was downtrodden to bolster themselves? Seriously.

To be honest, I have no idea what the backstory is on that. Wasn't aware of it until someone mentioned it on this thread.

But did I miss something? Is Elizabeth Warren a major-party nominee for President right now?
