Avenatti to Iowa on August 10 for Democratic Wing Ding Dinner

"Best get your tickets now for the annual Iowa Democratic Wing Ding Dinner on August 10 because it’s going to be a wild night. With the unexpected news that Story Daniels attorney Michael Avenatti will attend – and that he’s thinking of running for president – the speaker line-up got quite interesting. Expect an extra contingent of national news reporters to be hanging out in the booths at the Surf Ballroom to take in the curious move from the high-profile thorn in President Donald Trump’s side."

He's getting a little too big for his britches; all that TV time has over-inflated his ego. Enough with the shiny-object celebrities; we're already seeing what happens when an amateur gets elected president. And enough with the BS that there's something wrong with "professional" politicians. Being president is a job that requires professional expertise and experience - like maybe at least having run for public office at least once in one's life?

The article implies the real contenders are not running all over Iowa 'testing the waters". IMHO they don't need to.

with someone with national recognition showing up here to speak to Iowans. Trump was here yesterday bellowing his lies. Avenatti bring available to speak to about the legal intricacies now is not bad. Bonus is that it will rattle Trump. Avrnati is not a candidate for any office.

unless they're sending out feelers. Iowa might as well be Outer Mongolia unless a presidential election is starting to heat up - nobody goes there just to look at cornfields.

unless there are votes to be had. Important people don't come here for just for a sight-seeing vacation or a friendly visit.

Let's see if Avenatti turns up in New Hampshire next.

Granted, we have pig, cattle and turkey farms that can build up a good stench, but that is nothing compared to the lies of The Donald.

Give yourself a break, Avenatti.
