I'd say that we'd see Warren looked at in a whole new light once she started to get more ambitious.

The studies on this are interesting, I encourage you to do some research.

Respectfully I believe that is a bit sexist fescuerescue Apr 2017 #39
They suggested Warren instead of Clinton and you called it sexist? hughee99 Apr 2017 #43
Well Clinton is being dissed for her age only because she is female fescuerescue Apr 2017 #46
Warren is less than two years younger than Clinton, and the poster has no problem with her age. hughee99 Apr 2017 #48
