It is considered tradition for the counter address to be done by the person the opposite party is going to run in the next election cycle. You saw this in 2012 when Obama gave his address, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels was selected by the GOP to give the counter. Daniels ran in 2012 cycle, winning the Oregon straw poll, beating out Romney and Palin. However he ended up pulling out of the race due to 'family constraints', leaving the primary victory to Romney. Likewise in 2008 after the address from GW. Bush we saw a counter from democrat Kathleen Sebelius, who you might recognize from the Obamacare scam that she foisted upon the american people. She was not given the nod from the DNC officials, but the many in the media pushed her to run after the defeat of Kerry in 2004.

Needless to say I sincerely hope Waters runs in 2020 against Trump, or any republican. Hell even Jeb would win in this scenario!
