I will lose a lot of respect for him if he actually does run.

Seems to be the real deal.

It's mind boggling, but I think he believes he's embarking on his 2020. Obviously, without any guidance from people who know how not to alienate people in the party you plan on running in.

who loves being in the spotlight.

Whose won quite a few high profile cases. He's articulate, well spoken, hard charging and the Idiot and his minions are afraid of him. These are qualities especially needed in these times. Do the research before u bash him. He's more qualified than many other candidates aspiring to the presidency.

but that doesn't make him qualified for the Presidency.

I missed it.

It’s a trial lawyer tactic. Although Avenatti should know better— Hillary actually won.

Stuff like that.

I mean we know what bashing the party is thanks to you know who.

guy (61) I believe it's time for the venerated silverbacks of the party to mentor and support the younger candidates who are emerging.

Casting our party as weak and he's the savior.

It is time for a fighter. It may not be him but we know the repugs won't stop cheating so we need someone who isn't afraid to challenge them.

It might not be what we want to hear, but we need to face reality if we want to win.

I love this party, but even I recognize that there are some thing that we can improve upon.

I question the timing not so much the message.

What good does this bring for November?

Old rules no longer apply

The best appeal is make yourself scarce.
He's hitting his expiration date.

I wouldn’t put up with these antics in my attorney and you shouldn’t have to either.

Hopefully, by then, he'll go back to just being a lawyer.

We may not need his leadership, but we do need someone who is not afraid of throwing out truth bombs without fear of repercussions. He may be the person who forces a segment of the country to finally come to terms with the corruption of Team Trump.

If that resonates with Democrats and earns him the nomination, I will get behind him. In these crazy times, that very well could happen. It would surprise me, but it is within the realm of possibility if the stars align and he benefits from the perfect storm.

He is in a position at this time to say things other Democratic leaders cannot. He is not my cup of tea, but I do see value in his combativeness. Somebody's got to play the role of outraged crusader battling for justice. It's just odd to see it be a Tony Stark/Bruce Wayne type character.

So he could very well get the nomination on star power alone.

I would point out that John Delaney has already announced that he is running for the nomination. Ever heard of him?

I started ignoring him weeks ago

Plot twist

Every day DU has at least several comments about how we need to fight harder, stand up to Repugs, etc. Well, in my opinion he is saying the same thing.

And as far as all the glorious experience, it was the “experienced gang” that shoved Al Franken out the back door with an added boot up his behind, ridding our party of one of our strongest players. I really can’t see Avenatti playing that game, as he seems more interested in taking out the other team.

I’ll listen to what he has to offer.

"When they go low, we hit harder."

When will Democrats start following this advice? Instead, Democrats act "concerned" and lose elections. Force is the only thing that works against these GOP monsters.

looks to me like he's going out of his way to draw fire. who knows if he runs in the primary or not? if he does, you can vote for someone else. if he doesn't, your issue is solved. i'm not seeing a problem right now, he's operating as an ally.

It might light some fire under our candidates asses and lead to an even stronger finish! We need to realize that what he's saying isn't to be taken personally by members of the party, rather a chance to reignite the fire needed to take down this tyrant!

My attitude is he's a lawyer representing his client, and therefore yes, he's selfish in the extreme, but that everything he says is directed at Trump and Trump's attorneys and I don't have to listen to a word of it other than for entertainment value, Iggo said runonsentencedly.

I think he loves the attention.

from day one, he's a grandstander and publicity hog.
