We can't waste Avenattis talents - let's make him DNC Chair.

Imagine him as our attack dog 🐕 in the media going up against the usual right wing mouthpieces.
Imagine him telling a gop candidate that they better be careful with their attack ads against Dems.
Imagine him devising strategies to deal with all of the liars and obfuscatory in the gop.

He is our Karl Rove and Lee Atwater all wrapped up into one.
He is our perfect antidote to the Trump era of dirt and filth.
He is great on television. Which is extremely important in the Trump era.
The question is - will the Old Guard in the Dem Party be smart enuf to use his talents properly.

deceptively "trumped up" a lot of BS and outright lied about a lot of allegations against Democrats.

While Avenatti is tough, he has been honest as far as I know.

I've said the same thing about a New England senator that people keep hoping will run for president. This particular senator is much more valuable and effective in their current role as a senator.

He's a lawyer, not a political grunt. His talents are much better spent elsewhere, such as what he's doing now.

No thank you.
