Irrespective of what was actually said (and I would take Bernie's word over a habitual liar like Warren), choosing to leak this now is obviously a desperate attempt to revive a campaign that's in a death spiral.
"make sense of her identity" lmao. How does putting out a racist cookbook entitled "Pow Wow Chow" help make sense of her white identity? I'm white and my grandparents would also tell stories about our family having some Native American blood in our family and yet neither I nor anyone else in family has ever tried to claim that they are Native American. It's not that hard!
I think this is a decent movie, certainly more enjoyable than most comic book movies, but it being the most nominated movie for the Oscars is kind of silly (then again it is the Oscars). My main issue with this movie is that there is no depth to it. It creates a really interesting world and sets up an interesting character but doesn't do much with these elements.
She's weak and her only effective tactic seems to be having the media pump up her campaign. In the general she won't be able to whine about Trump being unfair and mean towards her because no one expects him to play fair. Trump will go after the fact that she tried to use extremely specious claims to URM status to try to advance her career, and based on her idiotic reaction to those attacks when they were made before, her defenses will probably make her look even worse.
If/when Trump attacks Bernie for not being completely broke and having some money from his book sales, do you think Bernie is going to mount some dumbass defense trying to clarify that Trump is only partly right? No, he'll say this is fucking stupid and has nothing to do with the substantive issues about which this election centers.
A lot of weird shit can happen in a single game, and trying to draw too much from a single game "they are who we most of us thought they were" (lol) is a fool's errand.
If these two teams play ten times the Ravens probably win seven of them. We saw one of the other three last night.
