Do you think Warren's native ancestry talk is really going to make her any MORE a target than literally any other canidate the Dems could pick? You're trying to pick the "least likely to have an issue with the right", but screw that. Trump's followers are so enamored with him that all he need do is slap the word "crazy" or "baby eating" on someone and they'll believe it. Do you think for a moment the people making fun of Warren by calling her Pocahontas care even the slightest bit about natives? They don't, but because Trump said it, NOW they care. And it will be that way no matter what.I agree Warren would be a great President, and sure, Trump will certainly go after whoever it is the Democrats choose... but she is an easier target in some ways because the attacks began years ago. If we ignore that though, which is fair because yes anyone we pick will be savagely attacked, even just on our side the Warren Native American thing has caused her some difficulty, from tribal reactions to that video of hers about her ancestry, etc... I wouldn't call it disqualifying, but it is a negative mark against her.
