Two things are now certain: Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti isn’t running for president on the Democratic ticket in 2020, and he just can’t stop himself from tweeting no matter how bad it makes him look. Basta!
As Twitchy reported, Avenatti already took on “proud resister” Ryan Knight, who had tweeted that Avenatti was only “out for himself — not our country.”
It looks like Avenatti couldn’t let Nate Silver’s analysis of his 2020 chances go by without comment either.
Avenatti was polling at 1 percent. His handling of Julie Swetnick was a disaster. He was recently charged with domestic violence. He doesn't have Trump's instincts and Democrats don't have an appetite for a Trump-like candidate. He would have lost badly and embarrassed himself.

Sounds legit to us.
Nate – this just goes to show you really don't know what you are talking about. 1) Trump polled at 0-3% until June of 2015 (polls rt now mean nothing); 2) I have not been charged with anything; 3) I have travelled to over 20 states in 4 mos – Dems want a fighter to beat Trump.

Excuse me, arrested on suspicion of domestic violence. I should have been more precise about that, Michael. https://t.co/FmF3tAiNsa

I'd be more willing to bet on a candidate polling at 1% if that candidate had been underexposed. Which you, uhhhhhhh, have not been.

Sick burn.
But really, it seems like Avenatti’s been spending most of his day arguing that he certainly could defeat Trump in 2020, he just chooses not to. Which again is probably best, seeing as he’s already setting himself up as a gaffe machine. Dems want a fighter?

Yeah but they mean fighter in the rhetorical sense, not the "I have physical alterations with my girlfriend" sense

Well you’re definitely a fighter. I mean, just ask that woman you fought.

Hey, she hit him first, allegedly.
Dems want a fighter to beat Trump not beat your girlfriends. Good day @MichaelAvenatti

You can’t beat Trump you can only beat women.

You’ve got to stop. Even I’m embarrassed for you, and I don’t like you…

Mr Avenatti, please do not run for President
— Jamie (@JamieTheTiger) December 4, 2018
Can confirm that you do not have my vote. You are boastful and quasi-mysterious. “I’ll be releasing groundbreaking evidence in the next 72 hours, blah blah blah.” Nothing happens. “I predict muller indictment 72 hours after elections” Nothing. “Look, everyone look i was correct”

Avenatti is arguably the absolute poorest candidate in the already "Safe Blue no matter who" state 2020 Democratic field right now: he's divisive, comes from my state of California which is a garbage idea to field a candidate from here nationwide, is already stigmatized, etc.

Trying to cut in on Beto's fundraising was also a disaster.
— Demeralda (@demeralda) December 4, 2018
Oh, that … the “fine print” specifying that half of your donation to Beto O’Rourke through Avenatti’s link would go to … shhh … Avenatti’s PAC.
Dems want #CreepyPornLawyer!

His campaign was already Basta point of no return

Avenatti who?
— NC Devil Dog (@BBOWNC) December 4, 2018
You’ve obviously never clicked on CNN by accident.
And now the field is narrowed down to about 150.
