The internet and social media has turned @MaxineWaters into one of the biggest stars in American politics.

Maxine Waters (D) TOTALLY ROCKS!! She has such spirit and fire. She's enthusiastic and takes the fight directly to the Republicans and doesn't get distracted by peripheral squabbles that would weaken and divide Democrats. She an example of someone who knows how to EXCITE and UNITE. She's living proof that the two concepts aren't mutually exclusive. She makes me proud to be a Democrat.

1. That is the coolest deal

I love her.

[Kath2]

3. Love her, too.

[Kath2]

2. Maxine Rocks!

And we need more with her spirit!

Thanks, NurseJackie.

[monmouth4]

4. I greatly admire her "I fear nothing" attitude. Love ya Maxine..n/t

[NurseJackie]

37. Yes! That's the perfect way to describe it! She fears nothing!!!

[NastyRiffraff]

5. She IS a star!

I'm glad she's a Democrat, telling it like it is! Thanks, Jackie

[DesertRat]

6. I deeply respect and admire Rep. Waters

She's always been a champion for American consumers.

[smirkymonkey]

7. She's amazing!

I wish more Democrats had her fire.

[JHan]

8. Auntie Maxine's shade is everything.

She is my patronus

[lapucelle]

9. Hipsters are always a little late to the party.

It's too bad they weren't listening to Maxine before the election. If I were them, I'd be careful about drawing too much attention to myself around Maxine...she's likely to tell them exactly what she thinks about the damage that their carefully cultivated "concerns" and false equivalence caused this year.

10. Keep singing it Sista!

Maxine~

[BainsBane]

11. I love her

Listening to her makes me happy. I love her take no-bullshit approach to politics.

[George II]

12. She's wonderful, and certainly not hesitant to call out ANYONE. Love the woman.

But she's just got to do something about that "James Brown" wig!!!

[TNNurse]

13. She has the courage of her convictions.

Something that is greatly lacking in our elected officials.

Apparently one of my senators (Corker) spoke against the nuclear option...and then voted for it.

She has courage and character (and great style in her speech), he is a weasel.

[KT2000]

14. She speaks truth without fear -

and she is keeping our Democratic values alive.

[oberliner]

15. Funny how some of the most popular politicians among millennials are senior citizens

Maxine, Bernie, Elizabeth Warren.

Not sure what that says exactly - but it's interesting.

[mountain grammy]

18. They speak truth to power

maybe? I'm not sure exactly what it says either, just one guess. It is interesting how they can fire up a crowd of millennials.

[Lotusflower70]

53. Because they are real

And approachable. They don't speak bullshit. Young people love the honest and genuine. And they love that they don't speak down to them. That's why Bernie resonates. Like him or not, young people love him. My son loves Bernie.

[JHan]

57. I want to see more democrats take charge, and speak up.

Older dems still hog the spotlight. There are young democrats out there with exciting ideas. I'm 22 and I love Maxine because her field of fucks are barren.

young people also like obama and michelle

[oberliner]

59. Who are some of the young Democrats out there with exciting ideas?

Anyone in particular you have in mind?

[JHan]

60. Ro Khanna

Background in tech. He wants Democrats to come up with bold (workable) ideas, wants to expand the EITC and he's been talking about UBI for a while now. He has fresh ideas, and understands the challenges we'll be facing next couple decades. I also like Buttigieg.

I'd love to see Gilibrand make a presidential Run, and Cory Booker is worthy of some consideration as well.

[oasis]

17. Scrappy Maxine is an ass kicking queen.

[sharedvalues]

19. Maxine is awesome (and I'm Gen X)

[Fast Walker 52]

20. POTUS material?

[shenmue]

21. Maxine in 2020!

[Fast Walker 52]

35. I'd vote for her!

Though, to be fair, I would vote for any Dem except maybe Joe Manchin or Heidtkamp... very unlikely they'd run or win the nom though

[7962]

74. Wouldnt stand a chance. Cory Booker, however, would have a great chance.

[Amimnoch]

24. If you find insult out of a long time DU member to be bothersum

for the sole purpose of supporting a Democrat, perhaps the fault doesn't lie with the OP?

There is no rule broken by supporting and drawing attention to Democrats who, in the opinion of Democrats here makes for a great potential candidate.

In fact, there's more argument for the rule of supporting Democrats than any other rule that you might consider applicable.

[NurseJackie]

27. It's a shame you feel that way.

[CousinIT]

23. AUNTIE MAXINE!

She is hella smart and just puts it on the line. No BS. She's awesome.

[TeddyBear 1]

25. She is....

The best!!!!

[Chevy]

26. A great patriot!! N/T

[IrishEyes]

28. I'm X generation and I love her as well.

[lunamagica]

29. I have admired her for years. She's the best!

Go Maxine!

[fun n serious]

30. I am also Gen X and I love her!

She, I think is loved by all Democrats.

[MurrayDelph]

31. She used to be my congresswoman

before I moved.

Still proud of what she's done.

[nini]

43. She's mine now

LOVE HER!

[brer cat]

32. She has her priorities right.

She is going after trump and not wasting time on petty and divisive squabbling.

[Lucky Luciano]

33. I'm a fan. Go Maxine! nt

[Jamaal510]

34. K&R

[Warpy]

36. I'm an old crock and I love her, too

Even when she stuffs a foot into her mouth, I love her. She's smart, strong, and tough as an old boot and light years ahead of most other pols out there in those qualities.

[That Guy 888]

38. I really hope the DEMOCRATIC party listens to her instead of ignoring her like they did in 2001

They way she's CONSISTENTLY stood up for what she believes in is why so many love and respect her.

[NurseJackie]

39. In good times and bad, for better or worse, through thick or thin, Maxine is a loyal Democrat who...

... has never turned on the party or attacked the party. Even when things weren't going "her way" she always understood that a divided party is a weakened party. She's afraid of nothing, but pride has never been one of her "sins". She's never given me the impression that she thinks she's better than others, or that she looks down on people in her own party. Maxine Waters is a true inspiration and I love her so much!

[calimary]

40. GIRLFRIEND!!!

She is MAG-FREAKIN'-NIFICENT!!!

I've loved her for a long time.

LOVE her LOVE her LOVE her!!!

I was going to say "the woman I love!" But actually, that would be my daughter first. THEN the Lady Maxine.

[SharonClark]

41. Love her positions but she needs to engage her brain before she opens her mouth

Too often she blurts out things without being able to back them up or provide proof.

[NurseJackie]

42. Hmmm.... that's not a personal flaw that I'd attribute to her. Nothing comes to mind.

[Demsrule86]

48. I am seriously disturbed by your post.

[athena]

49. It's disturbing that when such things are said about a politician,

the politician is invariably female.

Many male politicians say stupid things (after all, to err is human; it would be superhuman to never utter anything wrong or unwise or stupid), but no one seems to have a problem with that.

We as a society have still not advanced enough to the point where we're comfortable with women speaking.

[Gothmog]

56. She does fine

[La Lioness Priyanka]

70. Lol. Hope she doesn't ever listen to your stupid advice

[tallahasseedem]

44. She actually backs up her talk...

as opposed to all bluster, no action. VERY refreshing!

[NurseJackie]

45. That's an excellent point! She's never afraid to use her words, but what matters MOST to her...

... is action and results (not personal glory.)

[tallahasseedem]

[BlancheSplanchnik]

50. I'm only just been introduced. And I'm lovin her!

Love how she calls a scumbag a scumbag. Basically.

Ooooo the CONservative press hates her! Because honesty.

[coco22]

75. I have always loved how..

she won't go along with the bull. They tried to get her on false charges in the past didn't work. I laughed when she came out of the meeting with the classified pee,pee tapes and she came out as if she was saying..I ain't going along with this shit. I love how she says I am not meeting with this ______!

[Cha]

78. I hear ya.. Mahalo for telling about Maxine!

[Lotusflower70]

54. I absolutely love her

She is fierce and doesn't mess around. She is 100% real and pure class. Makes me proud to be a Democrat. She has a spine and won't cave to anyone.

[Gothmog]

55. I stand with Congresswoman Waters

[FreepFryer]

58. Courage and inspiration. Thank you for your leadership, Representative Waters!!! (n/t)

[DK504]

61. "MaxineWaters into one of the biggest stars in American politics. "

'Bout damn time. She's been ready for her close up for a long time. Love her!!!!!

[OrwellwasRight]

62. Rep. Waters has been a rock star for years

Just figuring that out now does not qualify anyone for a trophy or a merit badge. Why weren't they paying attention earlier?

[Cha]

64. Maxine Tweet..

[ProudLib72]

66. Maxine is wonderful!

Telling it like it is without any concern for what they'll say about her. She's the perfect antidote to the tRump regime.

[AgadorSparticus]

68. That's because she had the courage to speak out.

Elected democrats need to wake the hell up and make a stand.

[Akamai]

69. You bet! I sure praise her and my wife does too. She is fearless, caring,

and is a wonderful example of someone "talking the talk and walking the walk!"

You betcha, NurseJackie!

She's kicking ass, taking names, and has zero fucks to give!

relentless. A true Democratic leader!
