tbh, I am about to jump aboard the Michael Avenatti for President train...

[Drunken Irishman]

It's crazy. It's unpredictable. It just may be what gets us back into the White House.

1. how about running for Mayor, Congress, Senate , ETc first ?

[greyl]

8. You mean before the 2020 election?

great idea

[arthritisR_US]

12. Do not equate him to IQ45.

[dalton99a]

2. His speech tonight is excellent

[4now]

3. He is sure saying all the things that I would expect a Democratic leader to say

I find him to be a breath of fresh air.

[oasis]

4. "....2016 election was stolen". That idea is gathering more steam.

[AlexSFCA]

5. he hasnt said anything new

but he came up with a killer line: “It is time to make America America again”.
The issue with Avenatti is that all he’s got is ‘anti-trump’ message. We need more than that to energize independents.
Instead of saying 2016 was stolen, I would rather him say ‘trump has committed treason against the US’. This is far more effeftive message, IMO.

9. he has a values message

the ones we have not heard in a long time. His speech about the immigrants was wonderful - he took the lawyers in attendance to task for knowingly working for large corporations that will win against the little guy because they don't have the resources. He reminded them that they are us.
I really think he would have a broad message that would lift people up.

6. He's damn good! And on the front lines too!

[blue cat]

7. I definitely would want him to run.

I also like Tom Steyer or how ever it’s spelled. There’s going to be so many more that I like. They should all attack trump only.

[onetexan]

10. he should be AG

[kag]

15. Now, THERE'S an idea. n/t

[Joekennedy4president]

11. Joe Kennedy for President

[Puzzler]

13. I think he would win too

(and I didn’t think I’d say anything like that months ago).

[arthritisR_US]

14. I'm with you.

[duforsure]

16. If he runs

And is their candidate I'll vote for him too. He speaks truth to power, and also knows how to intimidate them , and would do very well . It all depends on who the choices are that are running, but he's one that could win.

[murielm99]

17. We don't need another President

with no experience.

[Tipperary]

18. I know. Now I see how many fell for the wankmaggot. It seems some here fall for anything too.

A month or so ago it was OPRAH! Yay Oprah! Now Avenatti. Anyone who says what we want to hear, and boom! Let them run for president. Yeah!

No better than the idiots who believed the tangerine lie.

[Blue_Adept]

20. It's been that way since DU started unfortunately.

It's only gotten worse with the signal to noise ratio getting worse as well.

[joshcryer]

19. This dude could *actually* run for President and win.

That's where the state of our politics is.

[Nonhlanhla]

21. Dear God, no

We do not need more celebrity presidents. Anyway, the man will get on a lot of people's nerves, including mine. If he wants to enter politics, he should start from the bottom.

[NightWatcher]

22. Let's run democratic candidates and not the celebrity du jour

Do you know any of his policy positions?

Run him for a state office first.

[Kingofalldems]

23. Agree 100%

Trump trolls really hate him, so yes.

[MyNameGoesHere]

24. I would rather

have a seasoned, politically astute, Democrat. You know, someone with the political savvy to back track us out of this shithole. And I will not vote for a candidate that wants to reach across the aisle unless it's with handcuffs.
