Trump's constant drumbeat of lies has a huge potential to defeat him and his enablers. Is there a false equivalence between Trump's lies and whatever is the truth about Warren? Yes. If she can put the allegation that she asserted minority status to gain a career advantage to rest, she'd be better off.

You keep saying this. But there is absolutely no evidence that she gained a career advantage. In fact, the claims are so specious that
you originally asserted that she did it to get a
scholarship, not a job.
If it is a fact that she has Native American heritage, it is a fucking crime that Scott Walker implied that (i) she lied about it and (ii) she lied about it to gain a career advantage. Politically, it's the perfect claim because it plays on all those white fears that minorities are getting all these advantages that are denied to them. Ask yourself why the claim sticks with you so much. But do it in private.
In short, anyone can make up whatever they like about me. I shouldn't have to prove that whatever they made up is completely false. And since she defeated Walker without having to do so, I think that's a good thing. The fact that you keep asserting that the liar-in-chief's constant racist harassment needs to be addressed by her is somewhat disturbing. He's the only asshole who is making this an issue. And he's an established, inveterate liar and bully. That should be enough.
