Michael Avenatti isn’t just a hot-shot lawyer; he’s also a political savant. At least he fancies himself as one. That’s why he’s offering Democrats this advice for 2020:
To those that claim that only a traditional politician with "experience" can beat Trump, go back & look at the results from 2016. He beat all 15 of those candidates that he faced (crushed many). If we go down the same path and are not smart, don't be surprised with the result.

Wait a minute … it almost sounds like … is Avenatti running?
Are you running?

Dear God.
I am extremely flattered by the suggestions that I attempt to become AG or run for the House or Senate but I have ZERO interest in those jobs. None. I don’t want to become a career politician. We have too many as it is…

Notice he did not rule out a presidential run. Which is just fine with his fan club.
If you believe in equality & respect, in a better future for our kids, that we can be respected in the world & still be compassionate, in the rule of law, that the future of our democracy is at stake, and that we need to fight like hell for these principles, join the #FightClub.

This is not a drill. Repeat: THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
When are you announcing your 2020 run?
— Brian Krassenstein (@krassenstein) July 4, 2018
IF (big) he seeks re-election, I will run, but only if I think that there is no other candidate in the race that has a REAL chance at beating him. We can't relive 2016. I love this country, our values and our people too much to sit by while they are destroyed. #FightClub #Basta
