Avenatti is AWESOME! He is EXACTLY what EVERY Democrat needs to be! He puts the shit HARD to these right wing assholes. He is a FIGHTER with GUTS. Just watch the video of his interview with FUCKER Carlson. Ddamn good.
One of the major problems at the very top of the list with Democrats is that too many of them have been way too COWARDLY, JELLY SPINED, and just plain WEAK.
Politics is WAR. Plain and simple. And it has been refreshing to finally see more Dems finally growing a spine and attacking the RePUKES and that FREAK who is polluting the White House.
FDR, Truman, JFK, and Clinton knew/know how to fight. Sadly, in recent years Dems forgot how to fight.
Get on offense and stay on offense! Bloody their fucking eyeballs. SMASH them DOWN hard. Take no prisoners.

(81,220 posts)The CONS arent expecting it. Theyve been at this for YEARS. Theyve seriously taken note of the flaccid response by Deowho have been WAY too concerned about being nice, being the so-called adult in the room, not lashing out, not fighting back HARD, reliably bringing all those nice feather dusters and pancake turners to gunfights.
NO MORE!!!!!
Politics IS war and fighting HARD is what you have to do. The Democrats seem more willing to start showing some guts and some backbone now. Its about time. Hell, its LONG PAST time!!!
Thank God for Michael Avenatti! Hes showing the Democrats the way OUT of the Milquetoast Morass. Cory Booker evidently was taking some notes recently, judging from his behavior during the Kavanaugh hearings. Bring it!
And guess what happened? The CONS werent sure what to do with this. They never had the marks theyve so used to stepping on - start to bite back, and with very large, long, and sharp fangs. They dont know what to do about this. They have no template for this. The pattern theyve become used to over all these years of toothless, spineless opposition suddenly isnt playing out again. When the CON on the panel used bluster and threats of ejecting Booker from the Senate in punishment for being uppity (undoubtedly the way the CON saw it), Cory Booker got defiant and ballsy and said Bring it! He called the guys bluff.
We need TONS MORE of this. I think maybe Michael Avenattis arrival on the scene may have helped change a few things. Hes smart, direct, hits back, hits back HARD, and draws the proverbial blood.

(7,142 posts)He made the point, or asked the question, why is it that Republicans are the most vocal anti-Trump people?
He then listed a dozen Republican people who are attacking Trump. He played a juicy video of Steve Schmidt brutalizing Trump.
I know I make it a point to watch Nicole Wallace at 4PM on msnbc.
That was pretty eye-opening in that it was true. All the hard hitters out there are republicans or former republicans. Our Democrats are still bringing butter knives to a gun fight.
I find myself putting Nicolle's show at the top of my must watch MSNBC shows (along with RM) and my favorite commentator is Steve Schmidt, but he is rather eloquent, which also might be the attraction. Perhaps we just enjoy seeing a Republican who sees the light? Ana Navarro is another one I can appreciate.

(10,160 posts)But going on FOX, giving them ratings, acting as if they are a legitimate news source, only reinforces their delusion and hides their propaganda.

(63,221 posts)He thinks just being louder and more obnoxious means that he is smarter and has won the argument. Talk about a face badly in need of a fist.

(7,527 posts)She'll go anywhere and gish gallop all reasonable points to fuzz the issue. We haven't had a solid media/PR "attack dog" type on our side in a while and Avenatti is fearless and does a great job refuting nonsense.

(81,220 posts)Our little boy Tucker likes to look fierce on TV. So he puts on that oh-so-serious concern-face, frowning into the camera with his cute little frown lines showing above his nose and between the eyes. Like hes all grownup-serious. I think hes trying to display gravitas in his little-boy way. I bet hes even practiced it in the bathroom mirror, and likes the way frowning like that makes him look.
And hes dropped the affectation of the bow tie. Wants to dress in his big boy clothes for this gig that lifted him back on TV after his exile online. He was utterly humiliated as cohost if CNNs Crossfire in that fateful day when Jon Stewart mopped the floor with him. And he wouldnt stop! Kept at it with Jon Stewart while Paul Begala more or less sat back and let Little Tucker cut his own head off, live in CNN.
That single episode took the air out of Crossfires tires and the show was soon canceled. And little Tucker disappeared for awhile, eventually coming up with a new platform online, The Daily Caller, where he could slowly rehabilitate his image. And sure enough, Pox Noise rescued the hapless little pound puppy and gave him a new home. And we can all say Awwwwww...
He wont ever rehabilitate himself with me, thats for damn sure!
