Re: Avenatti

I occasionally to clamors of "Avenatti for president" that they are horribly misguided because he has no governing experience. This is still true, of course. However, I can see him as an Attorney General or as a chief counsel to congressional committees playing the same "go get 'em" role as a Bobby Kennedy or a Ferdinand Pecora.

But at least, Avenatti has a brain. And, apparently, ethics and compassion. IMO, those are more important than experience. Plus, he has the capability of regarding advice. No true President has enough experience to do the job alone. Most of them have known that.

AND some presidents have had in their resumes: he’s an attorney. So he knows the law.

Seeing the lack of respect and reverence to President Carter tells you all you need to know about modern day America.
