Is 78-year-old “Auntie” Maxine Waters seriously going to make a run for the White House in 2020?
Speculation is increasing as it’s revealed the California congresswoman and darling of Trump haters nationwide will be making an appearance in the early presidential primary state of New Hampshire on Sunday.
“According to an invitation, obtained by WMUR from Democratic sources, Waters will be in the state on July 23 for the picnic to be held at the Miller Farm in New Durham,” WMUR reports, where she will hobnob with the Strafford County Democratic Committee.
Waters already has the backing of key far-left thought leaders.
In April, Salon Editor-at-Large d. Watkins published a video on Twitter in which he provided 5 reasons “why Maxine Waters should be our next president.”
“Maxine understands the people,” Watkins said as his #5 reason.
“Number 4, Maxine Waters has an amazing reputation of being a fearless, outspoken advocate for women, the poor, children, people of color — pretty much everybody that was left out of the Trump campaign,” he said.
Watkins said #3 is because of her opposition to the war in Iraq.
“That’s something that (Hillary) Clinton, (George W.) Bush, (Donald) Trump, (John) McCain, all of those people couldn’t really figure out,” he said.
Watkins said Waters “loves the Millennials and we love her back,” he said.
His justification was that Waters’ is “learning our language and using the internet.”
Watkins’ number one reason?
“She’s not afraid to attack the right,” he said.
“These are tough times and in tough times we need a tough leader,” Watkins said. “That’s why I nominate Maxine Waters to be our next president.”
You Won’t Believe Who Just Got Endorsed for 2020 President

She may not be afraid to attack the right... But the right isn't afraid to defend themselves.
The more I look, the more I notice that anyone with a stable desk job and a mortgage payment tends to lean right.

I feel just like you politically, no side to vote with that supports where I stand. That being said Mrs. Waters might be the worst candidate for them Democrats to push through. Zero chance of winning nationally.

I am a registered Democrat in one of (if not THE) most red states. At the time I registered, you could not register as Independent. Having said that, I DID NOT vote for Clinton (or Trump for that matter). If Maxine runs for the nomination and gets it, I just can't imagine what would happen. I wish for the good old days when Michele Bachmann was considered batsh!t crazy! Maxine makes her look perfectly sane.
BTW, I do have a stable job and a mortgage but I also have several guns and five gas guzzling vehicles, three of which are 1960's vintage. I feel left out in today's world of Left vs. Right! I am far more Liberal than most of my Conservative friends and way more Conservative than ALL of my Liberal friends. So, yeah I suppose I am a Democrat that leans right.
