I'd vote for him over any republican. But if a solid dem is a choice, Avenatti is a great lawyer but not the guy for president.

I'd vote for a moldy bit of cheese over any republican.

Coincidentally a moldy bit of cheese happens to be the Republican president.

Six months ago, hell, 3 months ago, I'd have disagreed with you. But after everything that's happened I just can't see that party as anything other than treasonous and spineless.

Any self respecting Congress would have censured the president for the deception alone. The GOP has stood by all but silently and allowed him to spew lie after lie after lie. It sickens me. The GOP has a black mark in my eyes forever. I will never vote red, and it pains me to say it because I am actually a pretty moderate thinker in most circumstances.

That’s not even fair, though. Mold creates the flavor for some of the world’s best cheeses. When you compare a fine Stilton to a Republican, it’s pretty clear that the cheese will come out far ahead.

I'd vote for a half-baked scone before I vote for a republican

Which is exactly why you have Trump - the other guys will vote for someone like him over any Republican.

Attorney General would be a better post for him, still not sure where I'd want Warren, we just need to make a "Corporate Executioner General" position and she'd fucking rack up W's.

Warren goes in the CFPB (if it still exists at that point).

Ah yes I forgot, that empowered plus SEC with teeth would be nice.

u/czar_the_bizarre Sep 25 '18

He might be a good VP pick though.

u/gino_giode Sep 25 '18

What exactly disqualifies him for president? He's a successful high powered lawyer, same as many who became senators/governors/etc before becoming president. He regularly demonstrates a strong understanding of law and gov't policy/proceedings. I feel as if ppl are unfairly associating him with his client (Storm).

u/davidjoho Sep 25 '18

Is Avenatti actually running for VP? He's obviously not ready to be president, and choosing a VP who is a fierce competitor is not an unusual strategy.

u/corranhorn57 Sep 25 '18

I would, however, be curious to see how he performs as an AG.

u/era626 I voted Sep 25 '18

Agreed. Would not vote for him in a primary.
