Bwahaha

Everyone knows how I feel about this grifter.

As I did with Kavanaugh I support his innocence until proven guilty but it sure is nice to see his sorry ass on the other side as the defender. I wonder how the hero of the lefties and the MeToo crowd will react.

He was a hero to the lefties and MeToo crowd?

To some. He's a con artist, and a lot of folks are easily fooled.

I wouldn't laugh. I'm convinced that he will run and actually has a chance of winning the Dem primary. This is absolutely not an endorsement on my part. I would rather this guy completely disappear from the political scene altogether, but I fear he will be the Dem Trump.

With a little luck, this and his other recent struggles signal his end.

One can only hope!

In my office we have started a list of people who we think may consider running on the dem ticket, but absolutely should not. He was my first name.

I just don't see any way he would win if he did follow through with his threat to run.  Dem party is a different process than Republicans in the primaries thanks to full allocation of votes based on percentage rather than having some winner take all states.  No way would he garner enough support to claim the nomination.

Agree though on wishing he would just go away.

While the primary process is different, keep in mind who votes in primaries. It is usually very passionate (often more extreme in their positions) people. Given that, I think anything could happen. No one thought DT would win the nomination either. All I am saying is, never say never, and work to support more qualified candidates!

This. Left or right, voters are people, and we’re all susceptible to being conned. The sizable followings of grifters like Avenatti and the Krassensteins didn’t happen by accident. These people know how to push the right buttons.

I don't think he has any shot at winning.  And I don't exactly have the highest opinion of the Democratic primary voter.

Michael Avenatti Is Winning the 2020 Democratic Primary

From Politico: 

One month ago, Michael Avenatti—the Stormy Daniels lawyer, Donald Trump antagonist, and yes, potential 2020 presidential candidate—spoke at an Iowa Democratic Party fundraiser and declared to a cheering crowd that there was “no greater question facing our party and our nation” than “how” Democrats fight. He chastised Democrats for having “a tendency to bring nail clippers to a gun fight” when they should be fighting “fire with fire.” Avenatti is the lead storm chaser in a little-noticed front in the 2020 Democratic presidential campaign: Who can out-Trump the sitting president by going the furthest to break procedural “norms”?

Even if Avenatti has little chance of winning the nomination, he could still wreck the 2020 Democratic race. In fact he’s already doing it, by using his considerable media skills and political instincts to frame the contest around how far Democrats should go when wielding power, and to pressure his rivals to follow his cue. If we begin measuring candidates on the basis of who has the weakest attachment to the written and unwritten rules which have stabilized American democracy for centuries, the country will be in serious danger.

I think what you meant to say was, "here are some examples that demonstrate his widespread appeal to the aforementioned groups."  Probably just an oversight.

Actually, the inference was "I enjoy comedy." Yours to be exact.  Some may call it a joke.
