Michael Avenatti: ‘I Will Run’ If No One With ‘A Real Chance’ Challenges Trump In 2020

“IF (big) he seeks re-election, I will run, but only if I think that there is no other candidate in the race that has a REAL chance at beating him,” Avenatti replied. “We can’t relive 2016. I love this country, our values and our people too much to sit by while they are destroyed.”

I liked him at first. Now he's gotten too big for his britches. The "fame" has gone to his head, and he's now an annoying attention seeker.

He is a high-profile, powerful lawyer, so no doubt he has gotten his hands dirty a little. I wouldn't openly admit to considering running for public office. Opposing dems, repubs, and shit-stirring trolls will find the dirt.

[quote]U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is refusing to debate a Democratic primary challenger again this election season, spurring another round of criticism that she’s stifling the democratic election process and not giving voters a chance to hear from her opponents. The popular congresswoman has yet to participate in a debate against a primary challenger since being elected to Congress six years ago.

It's all about money not about how "good" the candidate is. Trump got his right wing backers who believe in his unshakable "appeal" to the deplorables and will not jump ship at every controversy or scandal. That's how he got nominated and survived till the election with people actively suppressing any damaging news about his messy past. He also got elected with cheating approved and/or engineered by his backers. The thing is Avenatti can do much more good by cracking open the truth behind this manipulated election. Anything else is just letting the dirty game remain dirty and vulnerable to rogue players and candidates with money.

If the Democratic primaries and special elections since Trump's Victory have taught us anything it's that women are emboldened and women are our most reliable voters. African American women in particular. Despite being one of the most hated and untrusted politicians in recent history Hillary Clinton managed to get more votes than Trump. Just not in the state she needed. I think a smart passionate woman could easily win a general election. Preferably one that hasn't had 30 years of right-wing propaganda thrown at her. Harris, Gillibrand, or Duckworth would all have nationwide appeal.

Everyone seems to regard Trump as some sort of unstoppable machine that will keep going forever. In reality he's an old man with probably a lot of health problems that aren't getting better, who's dealing with an enormous amount of stress which is new for him. He is literally a walking heart attack/stroke waiting to happen. And I think Avenatti knows this. I think he's button pushing, knowing the effect it'll have on Trump.

And people who are saying they wouldn't want him to be president but it sure would be fun to watch him debate Trump on stage. That's literally how Trump became the nominee

by Anonymousreply 121July 6, 2018 12:38 PM

R110, yes, he's a shortie.

No fucking way i'm gonna vote for him. he's another egomaniac who loves to hear himself talk and he still owes millions. he's shady. ask his business partners.

by Anonymousreply 122July 6, 2018 12:41 PM

What is his track record as an attorney? I know his last Law Firm was bankrupt. He's been ordered to pay out Millions to his former business partners. He was sued by Dylan McDermott for a restaurant business they had together. And the federal judge in the Michael Cohen case handed him his ass in the courtroom last month. Is he even good at his job?

R112, what kind of skeletons?

I like Avenatti. I want to see how well he does with reuniting these immigrant clients with their children. My concern is his lack of political experience. He is a media personality like Trump is and this seems to bring out the "bread and circuses" of the electorate and the media. People are increasingly ignorant and more easily diverted from what is important. I feel like Avenatti has been getting bolder and flashier in his assertions. The power of the Presidency has to be intoxicating to those not used to a significant level of power. I want to know that Avenatti won't get drunk on the power like Trump did, although, admittedly, he seems to have less of the core of corruption like Trump has.

It'll take an Italian like Avenatti to beat Trump. Italians will always outsmart, outwork and out charm their opponent.

Avenatti LOVES trolling Donald Trump.

Running a campaign, at least through the primaries would give him a once in a lifetime opportunity to antagonize Trump round the clock for months.

DJT is intimidated by Avenatti because Avenatti is a REAL “alpha”.

Trump is a fraud in EVERY sense of the word, while MA effortlessly plays Trump’s game much better than Trump.

He also has the massive advantage of having truth on his side. Whereas EVERY SINGLE WORD out of Trump’s mouth is a fucking lie!

And as my mother (and Judge Judy!) used to say, “you’d better have an excellent memory if you want to be a liar!”

Avenatti sounding great at that DC rally. He's probably running for president

by Anonymousreply 134July 18, 2018 3:05 AM

Strange times. He's sexy & smart, believable for a lawyer, completely inappropriate and our best hope. He's got the balls and rudiments to get from that place to there in less than 3 years.............oh man he could take the country by the nuts. If he keeps his ambition like it is, and doesn't get too much help, he might just be the new fuck in a great time of fuck ups. Biden, Booker, Warren, Saunders, Harris and Gillibrand will fuck it up for sure. They have hundreds of years of experience.

Avenatti is the dude who could get elected and get help with what's needed.

Lay down the crack pipe, r135, Avenatti won't make it to the primaries. Stormy Daniels will try to extort money from him and a whole bunch of shit will come out about him. He looks like the type that is a wife abuser. Probably has a #MeToo trail 20 miles long.

Stormy Daniels is the luckiest woman on earth. She need never betray her lawyer.

I have a #MeToo trail at least 5 miles long and I've been voted a few things.

You guys are so besotted by Avenatti's BDF that you think he is actually a viable presidential candidate. Nothing doing. Stormy Daniels is almost forgotten now, and her latest arrest in a roadhouse reminds everyone that she's a stripper and a whore. He's eaten his fame slice by now

by Anonymousreply 139July 18, 2018 3:51 AM

Her false arrest in deplorableland reminds everyone that powerful forces have a history of harassing a woman because they are mortified by her ability to share the truth.

Stormy doesn't matter very much because Avenatti is not too much a Democrat and American standards and values are the lowest of all time. He's crude, sexy smart, timely and a MASCULINE WHITE MAN. No one else can win. /still...Avenatti has a way with words and the rhythm of information and charm. Don't discount it.

Avenatti can't win because he has no experience in holding political office, he seeks the limelight, and he keeps company with strippers.

Political cred doesn't matter. Trump won, after all, and people were jizzing their pants for a few months at the thought of Oprah running. If he can communicate his policy ideas as well as he does his anti-Trump ideas he has a shot at this. I'm keeping my mind open to the idea and want to hear more from him if he decides to run.

I guess he has some connections to the Democratic Party:

While in college and later in law school, Michael worked at a political opposition research and media firm run by Rahm Emanuel (who later became White House Chief of Staff and is presently the Mayor of Chicago). During his time there, Michael worked on over 150 campaigns in 42 states, including multiple gubernatorial and congressional campaigns (i.e. Joe Biden’s U.S. Senate Campaign).

[quote]Political cred doesn't matter. Trump won, after all,

I said political cred OR RECOGNITION.

Trump won because of his reality show — he was hugely recognizable and the show postured him as a genius at getting things done.

by Anonymousreply 155August 5, 2018 5:37 PM

An Associated Press review of federal records shows that Avenatti has not made individual political donations since 2007. From 2003 to 2007, he gave $5,750 to an assortment of California and national Democratic Party candidates, including the presidential campaigns of John Kerry, John Edwards and Dick Gephardt.

Avenatti denies that the Daniels case has anything to do with politics and says he even supports some things Trump has done as president, including deregulation and tax cuts

by Anonymousreply 156August 5, 2018 5:39 PM

[quote]I said political cred OR RECOGNITION.

I left that out because it sounds like you're basing that on his recognition at this moment. We all know that when someone decides to run for President their recognition can change significantly. Just imagine all the press he'd get if he decided to run. He'd get instant coverage thereby raising his recognition by several factors. Depending on how he campaigned and spoke about issues that could continue for several months.

I'm open to the idea and not shutting it down.

The problem with him is that he is short. The tall person always wins.

by Anonymousreply 159August 5, 2018 11:41 PM

the last candidate that got elected that actually governed (in my opinion) was Lyndon Johnson, so the commentor who said he wanted a candidate that could govern, that argument doesnt really hold up. I dont care if Avennati has little political experience (worked for Rahm Emanual 20 years ago)...............if Trump is the candidate in 2020 then I would vote for Avennatti if he ran. The reason is........... Avennatti is very much in the same mold as Trump in that he is a master at using the press and he is extremely bombastic............Avennatti has one additional thing Trump doesnt have tho, smarts. The down side to Avennatti is yes he is getting arrogant and yes is very egotistical...but also he probably has some skeletons in his closet, which is the one thing that doesnt seem to matter for Trump, even including the putin skeleton.............and no E Warren doesnt stand a chance against Trump. SHe is a terrible public speaker, cant motivate anybody to the polls and Trumps name calling would do her in........she isnt tough enuf, and its not because she is a woman. Also BIden wouldnt have a chance against Trump. Trump would have Biden framed in no time as a bumbling idiot grandpa.........

Mike is extremely hot, no argument there, he's gorgeous and an alpha and intelligent. But he shouldn't be president. He's obsessed with self aggrandizement more than anything else. That's not a crime but doesn't make for a good public servant. It's one of the worst things about Trump

He hangs around that whore Stormy Daniels and he thinks to himself what a loser Trump is for fucking this low status bimbo whore and he thinks to himself "he isn't really all that is he?" I could take him on.....

That whore he hangs around with and who discloses so much of Trump's little quirks makes him feel comfortable and familiar enough with Trump to take him on. He's not afraid of Trump like many Democrats are because of the whore Stormy Daniels. Would you be afraid of someone if their ex was telling you extremely intimate and personal details about them? That sort of intimacy is the opposite of respect. He really knows Trump a lot. I bet he even knows what Trump's cock looks like, how long he lasts in bed, what sexual positions he likes. That big fake titted whore makes Trump look like a joke.
