BTW; I believe, and hope, Warren wins in 2020.

(47,357 posts)no one believes Trump will release his tax returns, but making such an offer would put him on the defense. Also it is the same sort of offer that he would make.

(24,259 posts)DNA tests for ethnicity work and don't work especially for NA since there are so few samples to pull data from. For instance, you can have a certain ethnicity in your genealogy and not have it show up at all. What's even more 'fun' is your biological sibling could get a good chunk of it.

I really wish Democrats would stop suggesting she test. Warren is about as straight forward a d no BS as they come. If she says she has NA than I believe that she believes that and that's good enough for me.
If anyone wants to learn more about NA and DNA tests this is one of the best explanations I've come across:
