A 19-year-old c-store employee could only donate $3 to Warren; she called to say thanks anyway

He is just 19-years-old, works at a Circle K, and lives pay check to pay check – but he really wanted to make a donation to the campaign of Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren. He was only able to afford to donate $3, so was a little shocked when the candidate herself called him to say thanks.

The heartwarming call was shared on Warren’s Twitter page. When Zachary answers the phone, he simply says: “You’ve gotta be kidding me.”

Professor Warren and Senator Warren.

When women show their power persona they are frequently perceived negatively and the "casual at home" persona can balance that.

In sum, my comment is that it SUCKS ROCKS that powerful women have to deal with the double-edged swords of sexism.

I don't know what Warren can/will do differently from Hillary, but I am watching and rooting for her.
