While we may be less than three months into President Trump’s first term, that’s not stopping his media detractors for promoting his 2020 challengers.
The left-wing site Salon is apparently casting its lot with California Congresswoman Maxine Waters.
Editor-at-Large d. Watkins published a video on Twitter Wednesday 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.”
