Make no mistake about it. As per his tweets:

Off topic – the candidate in 2020 better be a take no prisoners street fighter who is prepared to go 15 rounds in a VERY brutal campaign. It will be a cage match like no other in modern times. The future of the republic may depend on it.

Except now those tweets seem to be very much on topic...

Are You Ready For President Michael Avenatti?
 
The logic that Avenatti intends to run is extremely weak, which is not surprising seeing as the source is Hot Air.

That said...IF Avenatti were to run for President, that would be very bad. He would essentially be the Left's Trump: a populist with no political experience here to fight for his base in the way that the Right crafted their own golem to fight for them. And as the last few months have shown, Avenatti is unable to show discretion when it's required. And if that's his attitude now, just wait to see how that attitude manifests itself with all the trappings of the White House behind him.

Liberals don't need their own populist; they need a candidate with intelligence, experience, civility and discretion...as well as the will to fight.

Cory Booker! He's my guy and I'm sticking with him! :lol:

Look on the bright side: we could have our very first Twitter Presidential Debate.
 
So he will be the "Democrat Trump", of sorts?

He's a similar street-fighter, though he appears a lot smarter. Doesn't have Trump's charisma, though.

I haven't been following Avenatti at all this year, though his chances do look better than most.

One just needs to hope that he doesn't swallow his foot somewhere along the way.
 
Gnh. I dunno.

Cory Booker has Obama's ability to excite a crowd and motivate the base to get out and vote, along with the charisma and speaking ability to make people believe that what they most want in their president is possible and within reach. Unlike Obama, he also has the governmental experience and political insight to be effective in the position; although I like Obama personally and wish he lived next door to me, he really was in reality an empty suit with charisma a killer smile. He was completely unqualified for the job when elected; he was, however, a fast-study, quick learner, behaved in a presidential manner and strengthened relations with our European allies. So I voted for him in 2012 (not in 2008).

Cory Booker is the complete package; charisma, experience, leadership ability and political depth. Take a long look at him before 2020, and see what you think before you write him off. :)

P.S. Avenatti is an opportunist and an attention whore. Stormy Daniels was brilliant to have hired him, given her need for a career boost and publicity (I have absolutely nothing against her, btw), but I wouldn't vote for him for president unless he was running against that corrupt swine Trump, because, well, I'd vote for anyone running against that corrupt swine Trump.

I dunno. Avenatti's 's a sharp guy, but a real grandstander. Then again, so is Trump and he got in.

Avenatti would make a great AG! He seems to know law better than Elmer Fud- I mean Jeffie boy!

Agreed but I think you meant to say gollum.

a lot going for him - but is America willing to vote for its (possibly) first gay president

takes me back to the days of JFK when that question was asked about the first catholic president

and to the OP, Avenatti would sure shake up the demo primary; which would likely be a very good thing

In bold... I honestly don't know. Wouldn't faze me a bit. However, despite rumors to the contrary because of his strong support to LGBT causes, Booker maintains that he is not gay.

Cory Booker says he's straight but doesn't mind questions about his sexuality because it challenges people's prejudices about gay people — a stance the scotch-drinking, cigar-smoking Steve Lonegan deems "kind of weird."... [Booker] noted he is "a voice for marriage equality that had me the national speaker in Washington, as a straight male, the national speaker for the Human Rights Campaign."

That guy has got Obama's charisma and speaking ability, with the actual experience and qualifications for the job. I don't give a fat flying rat which way he swings. I wish I was a democrat so I could vote for him in the 2020 primary!

easy solution: change your party affiliation

Nah. Although husby and I really are Independents, in order to have a say in both California primaries he registered as democratic, I stayed republican (I've been a registered republican all my life; at one time the GOP really was the 'grand old party'. Not any more, sadly.)
 
It is getting fun watching which low talent Tom Dick and Jennifer will step up next to tell us that they image that they have the right stuff...Fantasizing really....
 
run a good candidate, Democrats. the stakes are very high.

I have to ask, why are people expecting democratic candidates to be announcing their presidential campaigns for 2020 now of all times. I am betting that candidates will start announcing their campaigns in 2019.

it's too soon to announce, and would most likely be counterproductive. however, i hope that the states which pick the candidate almost every primary season choose a good one for 2020. the rest of us are probably going to have only one effective option if we want to vote against Trump. the presidential primary in my state is often pointless, as the candidate has already been chosen by that point.
 
I haven't seen anyone willing to run in 2020 who really excites me yet...

Maybe if the primary for all the states were held on one day then it would be more fair to other candidates
