and not anything like Stein/Bernie type attacks on Dems.

He says much of what many rank-and-file Democratic voters feel, that the party is milquetoast and not capable of dealing with Trump, who is a streetfighter, and as we all know 'there are no rules in a streetfight'.

I don't support Aventatti for president but his perspective at this point is valuable, and perhaps could be an asset to a Dem campaign as a strategist type, to add some toughness.
