(10,122 posts)I think he's scored a bunch of political points for Dems in a reality TV environment for politics on cable TV that many of us would prefer did not exist. But Monica Lewinsky or Sarah Palin's names in the headlines assure us that it has existed for some time. If that is how the game must be played (and I'd prefer we didn't have to play such a media game on nonsense), I don't mind Avenatti on our team.
The GOP's various attempts to take him down confirms his effectiveness.
As for him testing the water for leadership of the Dems in 2020, I have a lot of trouble with that. I place some value on experience in government. Unfortunately, I have some fears that we are mired into reality TV candidates rather than creating an environment were we attract the best people for the job.
