That seems pretty obvious to me. Avenatti has Trump in his crosshairs, if he can't get him before the next election, seems natural that he'd pull out the stops and try to gun for him in said election.

I'd prefer a solid dem with years of experience though.

As a lawyer he's more qualified than Trump, but man, I get tired of these guys with their massive egos who think they can run the whole damn country with zero government experience.

Yeah, he definitely is running. It'll be an upgrade from our current situation but iirc Avenatti isn't really free of skeletons in his closet and god forbid if he beats out a more qualified and progressive Democratic candidate.

I'd rather he just continue to make Trump's life a living Hell than trying his hand at politics with the highest office in the land.

I would want him to run on one condition: he has the pee tape, and drops it during a debate.

We don't need any more giant egos on the ballot, we have way too many as is

Honestly think he would be a more exciting candidate than most of the ones in the strong dem thread last week. He's got a lot of people here energised.

Believe it or not, this is in service of his client. Making sure that the Stormy Daniels thing is bad press and remains bad press strengthens her bargaining position and the value of her story/brand in media. Saying this is a way to generate press to these ends and nothing more.

He's leaving the door open for a simple out there. There are going to be plenty of Dem candidates who fit that bill. The worry would be if the field seemed to be dominated by old moderates (say Biden, Bullock, Cuomo, McAuliffe), but you've got real savvy operators in the mix like Harris and Gillibrand. Someone who won't be afraid to call Trump out on his bullshit.

I think mostly he's just self-promoting here, with a bit of signalling to the Dems on what they should be doing for 2020, which I ultimately agree with. We need someone who is unafraid of fighting dirty and just completely blasting Trump's racist ass at every opportunity.

You're doing good work doing what you're doing right now.

No need to run for President. What are his policies, what are his stances? If he runs it'll turn into a boxing match.

How about no. You pretty much get paid by shitting on Trump nowadays anyways while also not being responsible for a fucken country.

He can talk shit, and he does it well. This seems to be the new qualifier for presidency.

I would vote for him because I know he would make it his mission to hunt down and bring justice to all those that put Trump in his position illegal.

I can’t say the same for other democrats. Even fucking Obama let the Bush admin with all their war crimes off free. Civility is more important to these people than justice.

No thanks.

But he's just doing what he does best, says things to get attention. He can keep doing good work being a thorn in Trump's side.

Man, no. I appreciate all work he's doing to rattle Trump and bring him down but he should stay in his lane.

theres going to be a metric ton of people announcing they will be running.

Trump winning in my eye was the opening of gates from qualified individuals to twitter shitposters.

We are going to have the Clown car of candidates like GOP did last cycle arent we.

I hate when people just assume Trump will win bc they are defeated already and live in the sunken place but having 10+ candidates plus the purity tests liberals love to give...and idk.
