Michael Avenatti Is Speaking At A ‘High Profile’ Democratic Fundraiser Alongside Other Potential 2020 Candidates

Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti isn’t ruling out a presidential run.

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

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.

Solidly pro choice. Would never nominate a justice to the SCOTUS who did not believe in Roe or who would seek to outlaw same sex marriage. Fully support equality for women & people of all races, & gay rights. We don't separate families at the border. And we don't kiss-up to Putin

Yes, incredibly important ally. I am confident Prime Minister Trudeau and I would get along just fine. And I can promise you we would not be laughed at.

See poll below. The better question is: Will the Dems nominate another tired, highly experienced, establishment candidate to run against Trump and expect that it will end in a different result than the first 15 such politicians he beat. #Basta https://t.co/wbzxatuNZO

I don’t know if I should laugh or cry about it.

Part of me thinks it’s nothing more than an attention-grabbing stunt, but another part of me wonders if he’s actually serious.

This points to the latter.

Avenatti is expected to speak at a “high profile” Democratic fundraiser alongside a bunch of other potential 2020 candidates.

So Michael Avenatti has just been added to the list of speakers at a high profile Democratic fundraising event in Iowa which already has several potential 2020 candidates https://t.co/1iE54ZinXc

Michael Avenatti said he’d consider running for president. Now he’s listed as a speaker at the upcoming Iowa Wing Ding – a traditional stop for many would-be candidates https://t.co/C4G5wuy8S0

I look forward to speaking at the Iowa State Democratic Wing Ding next month. Extremely honored to be included as one of the speakers. It promises to be a great event as always! #Basta #FightClub

Way to go Dems! You’re now the party of socialist lunatics and porn star lawyers.
