As she rises in the polling she and her handlers KNOW that Donald Trump IS going to KEEP on her case about this….
2020 contender Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) told a forum of Native American voters in Iowa Monday that she’s “sorry” for harm she’s caused the community.
Between the lines: According the Des Moines Register’s Ledyard King and Shelby Fleig, 2020 Democrats are heavily courting Native American voters in swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and North Carolina.
“Now, before I go any further in this, I want to say this: Like anyone who’s been honest with themselves, I know that I have made mistakes. I am sorry for harm I have caused. I have listened and I have learned, a lot. And I am grateful for the many conversations that we’ve had together. It is a great honor to be able to partner with Indian Country, and that’s what I’ve tried to do as a senator and that’s what I promise I will do as president of the United States of America.”
This really is no big deal and will have no effect on whether Warren wins the nomination.
Apparently the Native Americans gave her a standing ovation.
Likely, they are much more offended by the racially challenged Trumps constant referral to Warren as “Pocahontas.”
The reality is that Warren is trying to deal with a issue that has followed here and is still around….
The reality is that you despise Warren.
Warren may or may not win the Democratic nomination but this little flap will have nothing to do with it.
That,as you say, is the “reality.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren faces an uphill climb in winning support from African American voters, say Democratic strategists and other political observers.
While Warren (D-Mass.) has been moving up in recent polls, she has struggled to lure black voters to her campaign.
A Fox News survey released last week showed Warren receiving 8 percent among black voters, a grim statistic if she is looking to win the nomination.
A separate poll by the Pew Research Center found that while former Vice President Joe Biden received 29 percent of support among African Americans, only 4 percent were throwing their support behind Warren. More black voters also named Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as their pick.
“We definitely need to do better there,” one Warren ally acknowledged. “We can’t win without support from the black community. Period.”
Biden has dominated polls of black voters so far….
