Yes maybe Avenatti is not the best choice for president, but we need cold blooded fighters like him on our side in some capacity. Honestly he is probably accomplishing more as a private attorney then he could as a senator or representative anyway.

…on the same day Avenatti implied he had evidence that Kavanaugh engaged in gang rape of drugged women Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer released a meticulously detailed thoroughly-fact-checked article that comprehensively detailed what allegedly happened to Deborah Ramirez.

Farrow and Mayer have been ruthlessly efficient.

Avenatti has not.

And this in a nutshell is why he is not Presidential material IMHO.

I don’t have faith that what Avenatti has claimed is going to actually pan out. And that’s a problem. Its the difference between a quiet achiever who gets things done and just being person who demands attention but is really full of hot air. If Avenatti wants to be taken seriously then he better deliver on his claims. Because they are pretty fucking serious allegations and if he doesn’t have anything he may be a “cold blooded fighter” but he isn’t helping the cause of the Democrats at all.
