. . .it’s time for the criticism from fellow Dems! Here’s Michael Avenatti, the now former attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels, calling Beto a “weak glorified cheerleader” and saying that “Nominating a candidate who is not battletested and a fighter will ensure he wins again. #OnlyOneObama”:
If the Dems nominate a weak glorified cheerleader candidate to face Trump, then we deserve the outcome, which will be a Trump re-election. Trump is not to be underestimated. Nominating a candidate who is not battletested and a fighter will ensure he wins again. #OnlyOneObama

And he told Beto to “leave his skateboard” at home:
Nobody loves the “Beto Show” more than Beto himself. Unfortunately, though, this isn’t a rock concert or a circus. It is serious business and we need a serious fighter. And we can leave the skateboard at home…

He’s also not a fan of Beto apologizing to Ted Cruz:
He apologized to Ted Cruz for calling him a liar (which he is). No chance against Trump.

For the record, Avenatti is a Joe Biden supporter at this point:
