Warren’s 2020 Run Will Be The ‘End Of Her,’ Says RealClearPolitics Editor
While Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has formally declared a 2020 bid, her false claims of Native American heritage may have ultimately cost her political future, according to RealClearPolitics associate editor A.B. Stoddard.
Two weeks before the November midterm elections, Warren released the results of a DNA test which suggested that she is 1/1,024th Native American, a move which many Democrats were unhappy about – saying that the timing of the release hurt the party’s midterm prospects.
Stoddard, in an appearance Monday on Fox News’ “Special Report” said “It showed what her political judgment is really like. And it’s one thing to just be on the Senate floor or the campaign trail in 2016, have a national network of support, have a good message. It’s another to make a huge blunder, sort of taking Trump’s bait … but yeah, she has a bad story on this issue.”
“She brings the video out in late October, two weeks before the midterms, steps on the Democrats’ message. It’s completely selfish and sort of self-absorbed and tone-deaf, and then she gets dissed by the Cherokee Nation. It was a disaster and Democrats were furious. And they believe that it was a fatal blow.”

“Instead of sort of just stepping aside and using what she has, which is some national support and kind of being a kingmaker, she’s gonna step into this race and it’s gonna be the end of her,” she added.
“It’s a wide-open race and I expect that this primary run to really go into late spring of 2020, so a year-and-a-half of a Democratic Party freak-out. They are very divided, but Elizabeth Warren, even after 2016 I’m going to deposit is not going to be the nominee. Look at the polling, no one is excited about her.”
Mollie Hemingway, senior editor at The Federalist, another member of the “Special Report” political panel said that Sen. Warren’s public rollout of her test results was “horrifically done.”
Hugo Gurdon, editorial director at The Washington Examiner, another member of Monday’s panel, said that President Donald Trump probably won’t get his wish of running against Warren.
“The fact is that the party has already moved to adopt most of her positions. She doesn’t stand out and there are younger guns in the field,” said Gurdon. “Her announcement today was pretty drab, it was very formulaic. She, you know, emphasized her roots in Oklahoma and her links to the military and the middle class. And it was just ho-hum kind of — I just think that she’s already yesterday’s woman. There will be somebody else who gets the nomination.”
