CNN thinks Warren's video of evidence of ancestry is proof she's running for president in 2020.

CNN- On Monday morning, we learned that Elizabeth Warren is probably-almost-definitely-I-mean-nothing-is-100-percent partially Native American.

"The facts suggest that you absolutely have a Native American ancestor in your pedigree," Carlos Bustamante, a professor of genetics at Stanford University, tells Warren in a video released by her campaign.

The release of the video -- and its contents -- mean that Warren was probably right when she claimed -- to much criticism -- during her 2012 Senate campaign that she is part Native American. But it definitely means that she is running for president in 2020. And running hard.

Let's dig in.

She needed to get it behind her before the mid-terms, so that she can begin her presidential campaign as soon as they are over. I think it's a reasonable theory.
