    Maxine Waters is done with 'nice guy politics'


    From the perspective of some House Democrats, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has the right message. She’s just not always the best messenger.

    The Los Angeles lawmaker’s early calls for President Trump’s impeachment and viral showdowns with administration officials have endeared Waters to the party’s young, liberal base. And those stances have also garnered the respect of many House Democrats, who admire how Waters, 79, sticks to her political convictions.

    "She is up-to-date, she is smart, she is authentic and she is not scared to express herself,” Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) told The Hill, adding that her constituents in Milwaukee often ask her if she knows Waters. "She is transformative in terms of appealing to different generations of people.”

    Yet her most recent remarks -- encouraging public confrontation with Cabinet members -- rankled some of those colleagues and raised concerns about how Waters would handle increased authority if Democrats regain control of the House in November.

    House and Senate minority leaders Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) condemned her comments, while other Democrats distanced themselves from her.

    Waters is aware that she sometimes pushes the envelope, according to a former aide who said the congresswoman thinks Democrats as a whole have engaged in "nice guy politics" for too long.

    “She’s definitely pushing people into a place of discomfort,” said the former aide, adding that Waters is “slowly but surely getting the Democrats to play the game the way Trump plays it.”

        We should get a letter campaign going to encourage her to run. She could have Pelosi or Sheila Jackson Lee as her VP.

          The problem with this is, what if she somehow wins? Isn't this more or less what the Democrats/MSM did with Trump?

              Nah! All potential black candidates were born in Kenya and are Muslim. Just ask Donald, he knows these things.

                  And here she is declaring she's on a mission from God!


                  MAXINE WATERS: I’ve been sent by God to get Trump!


                  “You’ve gotta know that I’m here to do the work that I was sent to do, and as pastor said to me when I came in this morning, when God sends you to do something, you just do it!

                  “So I have a message I’m going back to Washington tomorrow morning, I’m going to tell them pastor told me to come here and just do it!”

                    You seem to have a gift for saying profoundly ignorant things in mostly grammatically correct ways.

                      So, I'm curious. We've had many politicians claim they are there (running for, or in office) because god wants them to. George Bush. Scott Walker. John Kasich. Ben Carson. Rick Perry. Rick Santorum. Mike Huckabee. Trump never said it about himself (that I know of) but Paula White (his spiritual advisor?) made the claim on his behalf.

                      So were these claims as absurd as the Waters claim apparently is?

                        Combined with her other actions, where she's just bat-poop crazy. It just struck me as being like the Blues Brothers.

                            Wasn't there some leftist TV personality sneering at VP Pence for saying God spoke to him? Saying that is a clear sign of insanity. That was until Oprah announced that she was waiting for God to tell her that she should run for president.

                                That was good!

                                Really good.

                                But not worth an amen.



                                ok, maybe ALMOST an amen.
