but has no experience at all in government. He's never held any elected office or even run for one. He's never been on a city council or a park board or run for dogcatcher. He wants to start at the top when he has no familiarity with the bottom - he's like a guy who answers an ad for a job in the mail room by announcing he wants to be the CEO.

We've already seen what can happen when an amateur gets to be president. Avenatti hasn't even come close to finishing up the Stormy Daniels case and he wants to run for president? No, just no.
