As he’s watched the almost two dozen candidates square off in the primary debates, Avenatti says he continues to believe Democrats don’t have the fighter that can take on Trump come the general election and suggested he could be the candidate to beat him.

...

“I don’t think I need to make a final decision for a number of months. I have the name ID and everyone knows I’m one of the few effective fighters that the Dems have,” he said.

Now I know what the undecideds are holding out for!

1. Man what a delusional mofo this idiot is ...

I want to say there's no way he can actually be serious, but ... I can't.

That's just beyond pathetic.

6. .

[mr_lebowski]

9. I know, I know, what can I say?

When Mikey's right, he's right.

There's no gettin' around the inexorable truth.

[crazytown]

2. "I'm one of the few effective fighters that the Dems have"

Micheal has been scoffing too much covfefe. This thing is worthy of The Con himself.

[jberryhill]

8. Cocaine's a hell of a drug, amirite?

[crazytown]

13. I stick to powdered Adderall myself

[jberryhill]

14. Where do people get that stuff?

I hope they aren’t ordering it online. God knows what they’re getting.

[crazytown]

15. CVS, Walgreens, the usual suspects.

I was making a snarky comment about The Con.

3. Oy. eom

[RockRaven]

4. That November trial date might prove a bit inconvenient when it comes to campaigning...

The Iowa caucuses are just 3 months later after all, and being in custody kind of gets in the way of barnstorming...

Well, I suppose a mere mortal like myself cannot fathom the legal and political genius that is Michael Avenatti. I'm obviously missing something.

[jberryhill]

7. Well, people have wanted to know if a president could be in jail

He’ll probably be in one by the time the election rolls around.

Like Nixon said, “People have a right to know whether the president is a crook.”

[emmaverybo]

18. Ha ha.

[LibDemAlways]

5. Sort of makes sense when you think about it.

Who better to go up against a narcissistic delusional con man than another narcissistic delusional con man. Just sad that it's come to this. The majority of Americans deserve better.

[comradebillyboy]

10. Nobody cares what he does anymore.

[jberryhill]

11. He seems to

[LanternWaste]

32. As do you, as well.

[RandiFan1290]

21. Not true

at least one person here is obsessed with him...

[LanternWaste]

31. I'd call it LSAT envy, rather than obsession.

However the end-result is the same...

[BootinUp]

12. He's slipped a cog. Nt

[dweller]

16. well looky there ...

my sock is dirty .. and so is my other sock ..
brb

✌🏼

[emmaverybo]

17. LOL on undecideds. He probably thinks he is their messiah and will get decideds to switch. Take all

the time you need, Avenatti. We will be just fine.

[Thekaspervote]

19. Power...the single most pure unadulterated drug there is. Poor guy is totally blinded

[hlthe2b]

20. Beyond denial... Obviously malignant narcissism knows no single political bent.

[JustAnotherGen]

22. Um - no

Definitely NOT what I'm holding out for!

I think from private messages with many other undecided primary voters - most of us are at the very end.

We don't vote in NJ until June 2 next year. I'm making no commitments until after Super Tuesday.

If it's Avenatti - Good lord!

[thesquanderer]

23. Another narcissist, or grifter looking to skim campaign money, or both. (nt)

[BeckyDem]

24. lol

[Dr. Strange]

25. God bless us everyone!

[mainstreetonce]

26. Why doesn't he primary Trump?

I would love to see that show.

[FM123]

27. I would pay to see that!

Imagine narcissist Trump and narcissist Avenatti fighting it out on a GOP primary debate stage. Maybe we could convince Avenatti to switch parties, lol....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. An epic battle between evil and evil!

"I have the name ID and everyone knows I’m one of the few effective fighters that the Dems have." Change Dems to Republicans and those words could have come right out of Fat Nixon's mouth; those two idiots must be getting their drugs from the same dealer. A debate between those two delusional narcissists would be about as enlightening as a playground fight between third-graders.

[brush]

29. Too much water under the bridge for him.

[Gothmog]

30. This will not end well for Avanatti

[JustAnotherGen]

33. +1000

And - he's an idiot.

[cwydro]

34. Ok, you owe me a keyboard.

In the words of DU of yore...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. did I miss it? He hasn't been convicted of anything yet has he?

[jberryhill]

36. Not yet

But it’s okay. There is no Constitutional bar to having the president in jail.

He will run on being a man of convictions - possibly 35 or more.

[Tipperary]

37. I remember his many fans here.

They seem to have gone silent now. Funny how that is.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. I think I was the only one

[Tipperary]

39. I actually did not remember you as being one, but I do remember

some others. There were some who attacked those of us who were not fooled by his con game. I cannot remember you attacking anyone ever, on that issue or any other.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

40. No I didn't. Actually hope he's innocent. But I know

all signs point to you being right all along. Just starving for someone to figure out how to get to trump. And Avenatti sure was good at that.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

42. Just reread article on charges. Hard to imagine this

Could all be manufactured, for sure. But did make me think, why weren't they all over Trump's scams over the years. If what he says is true, all those audits "every year.". If that is bullshit, then why didn't they? If he got the largest refund of anyone else in US?

[Tipperary]

46. Very good point.

Why indeed.

[SouthernProgressive]

45. "He will run on being a man of convictions - possibly 35 or more."

[Blue_true]

41. An attention addict. Ignore him. nt

[StarfishSaver]

43. LOL

Just what I've been waiting for.

[SouthernProgressive]

44. Piece of shit's not in jail? NT
