I'm not a fan of Avenatti...

[cynatnite]

Personally, I think he loves being the thorn in tRump's side and he likes the publicity he gets.

Who am I to complain about his success thus far?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

1. Would we have even seen the Cohen blow up without him?

[cynatnite]

3. So true.

[Little Star]

6. +1

[lapfog_1]

2. He is an attention hound showboat

that said, he so far has had the goods every damn time. And delivers what he says he will deliver.

[KT2000]

5. let's be honest

he is filling a void. I am sorry but the pedantic dissertations on TV are not even capturing the attention of the American people. They are not being heard. Avenatti is smart and grounded in values we need to hear during this rump fiasco.

[Polly Hennessey]

28. Yes, at last we have a fighter.

Still, however, we have our “butter knife” believers. I always think back to the Americans who won our freedom from Britain. Trust me they fought hard, clever, and tough. We are in a battle with liars, thugs, and connivers. Let’s meet them with any weapon we have. Words mean nothing to our enemies. And they are our enemies.

[Hortensis]

33. And our senators are NOT because every news story about

Kavanaugh doesn't begin with THEIR names instead of his?

Making every story Avenatti's involved with start with "Avanatti" doesn't make him a better fighter any more than putting "TRUMP" in two-story letters on his buildings makes that wimpy loon a fighter.

Think about it. Yes, he's genuinely talented but not more than thousands of others. He's just made himself visible to you. If Avanatti advertised himself to people as a grapefruit would you be among the hoards who rushed to swallow it? Or would his advertising that identity be going a little too far?

[brush]

34. Spot on.

[uponit7771]

17. +1, I think the attention hound show boat is needed to fight Red Don's pull on the MSM

[GoCubsGo]

20. Yep. It's called "fighting fire with fire."

Except that Avenetti is a flame-thrower to Mushroom Dick's BIC lighter.

[uponit7771]

21. +1, instead of us continuing taking a gun to a tank fight !!

[dem4decades]

4. He's fighting fire with fire. I'm tired of Democrats being cautious. I like him.

[Little Star]

8. Agree!

[Dave Starsky]

12. I've been skeptical.

But I can't deny that he is playing Trump's own game and destroying him with it. If only we had more Dem politicos who would do the same thing.

[dem4decades]

15. I think we have to acknowledge the fact that Avenatti's personality gives the brave women

he represents faith in him.

They are brave, they have faith in him.

[CousinIT]

14. Agree. He takes the fight to the GOOPeee

And if he says he has the goods - HE HAS THE GOODS. And he's a Democrat. Showboat? Yea. But he's doing GOOD with it. That matters.

[Lucinda]

31. He is extremely cautious. He just isn't afraid to step up once he has the goods.

[meadowlark5]

7. I'm fine with Avenatti's desire for attention

Because he is taking on the biggest attention whore the world has ever seen in Trump. We need a smart, and legally smart, pit bull on our side for a change. He's not afraid to take them on and not prance around words diplomatically like so many dems do. How long did it take for them to finally say Trump lies and not more palatable words like, "mistruths, inaccurate statements etc"?

[cynatnite]

11. I would've been okay with that...

but for a while there he was on TV all the time and I got sick of hearing him. I'm glad he backed away from multiple TV appearances.

I'm glad he got involved with the family separation horror as well.

Either way, he's been effective and no matter my personal feelings about him, I hope we get more of him dropping bombs.

Plus, if his involvement means stopping Kavenaugh, I'm all for it.

[Liberal In Texas]

9. Well, I'm a fan.

I wish we had 10 more like him.

[eleny]

10. Yeah, success is the bottom line

[pnwmom]

13. We always said the Dems weren't fighting hard enough. Well, now we have a Democrat

who's pulling zero punches.

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. I think he really enjoys a good fight.

zthat isn't always a bad thing.

[uponit7771]

18. K&R, Going high doesn't mean taking a gun to a tank fight !!! Fight then with Bazookas & get it done

[Dave Starsky]

24. First rule of self-defense:

Keep your hands up.

Second rule of self-defense:

Don't strike unless stricken, but IF stricken, strike back immediately and ten times as hard.

[uponit7771]

25. +1

[USALiberal]

19. More concern about him I see! Hmmmm. Nt

[cynatnite]

37. Concern? Um...nope...

Not a fan of the guy, but I am a fan of what he's been able to accomplish.

[GeorgeGist]

22. Exactly

[WiffenPoof]

23. Yeah....I get your point

However, I can think of no man I would rather have as my lawyer if I were in trouble.

It's sort of like Serena Williams. I'm not a fan of her personality and lack of genuineness... But there is little doubt that she is the greatest women's tennis player of all time.

[lame54]

26. Are you arguing against yourself?

[samnsara]

27. i think hes kinda cute

[madguy2000]

29. Ambivalent, but...

He seems to attach himself to whatever is the hot issue and then makes a lot of noise. My concern is that he may have hardened the spines of the Republican assholes like John Kennedy who has now come out in favor of Kava-naww. OTOH, his courage, his feistiness and his ability to deliver might make him a great candidate in 2020.

[LenaBaby61]

30. IF Avenatti alleges something .....

And comes across with the receipts, I'm all for him doing his thing ....


And thus far, he's had the damn receipts.

SO happy to see someone on the LEFT actually fight BACK against thuglicans and their LIES et al.

[lovemydogs]

32. Cynatnite, you are entitled to your opinion but,

There is alot more to Avenatti then you think. Maybe read his Wiki page and see how you feel

[cynatnite]

35. People rub other people the wrong way all the time...

It doesn't mean I don't support what he's doing. Hell, I even encourage it.

[Mike Nelson]

36. I'm not a fan...

… of politicians and public news people, in general. I admire Hillary Clinton and her recent campaign (in fact, they won the Presidency!). I admired Bernie Sanders when he became a contender (remember the bird and the Simon & Garfunkel ad?). I do admire a lot of people... I don't see Avenatti as Presidential material, but I do admire his style - his standing up for his clients - and against Trump.
