This is not the week that Democrats were expecting to have. Right on the heels of their epic blunder in trying to stop Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court, they and their mainstream media mouthpieces clearly thought that Senator Elizabeth Warren's campaign to reembrace the "one-drop rule" and thereby "prove" her Native American claims would be a brilliant turn of fortune for the party.
