#3 Elizabeth Warren, the Cherokee native American? I'm betting Hillary will run and get the nomination. The signs are pointing that way. Do I want that to happen? No, she is totally unqualified. However, that does not seem to make any difference in today's culture?

#9 Now she's pretending to be Vietnamese?

She's descended from one of the tribes that got lost trying to find the Bering isthmus and ended up settling near Haiphong.

#10 Gates noted that Biden has been wrong on every foreign policy decision for the past four decades.

I would keep him around as a contrarian indicator. Assuming that the rest of the regime considered him to be contrarian, of course.
