Old 'country' song -

They wear so many faces,
Show up in the strangest places
And grace us with their mercies in our time of need.

Oh, I believe there are Angels Among Us,
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love.
- Alabama - Angels Among Us

Maybe he IS an opportunist. But he's on the right side of history.

We--the decent, caring, REAL Americans who care about families, and democracy, and free press, and freedom of speech, and all the other things that make America ACTUALLY great--we need this kind of "opportunist" on our side.

The side of ugliness, greed, treachery and yes, evil, have a con man opportunist like Donald J Trump. We need people like Avenatti who aren't afraid to stand up and find opportunities...to do the RIGHT thing.

His tactics aren't always the most polite or civil, but our side needs people like him.

Reminds me of the Truman quote "I don't give them he'll I just tell them the truth and they think it Is hell"
