just replace the word entertainment with narrative or talking points. What you don't get is that Republicans have a big advantage over Democrats because cable news, the corporate media controls the narrative favorable to Republicans. What you don't get is that Michael Avenatti is one of the few Democrats who can change the corporate media's narrative. What you don't get, at least IMO, is that Republicans fear Avenatti, it's why as soon as he announced that he may run for president there was an immediate right wing campaign to trash him.

Frankly, I don't know that much about Avenatti, but I do know that Republicans fear him.

Did you see what Beto O'Rourke did to Lyin Ted in their debate? He attacked him, now you can call his attacks entertainment but the corporate media is talking about Beto's message today and not Cruz.'

Your reponse to a mere 'opinion' seems a wee bit overly-emotional as well. LanternWaste Oct 2018 #53

Thank you. N/T WeekiWater Oct 2018 #70

As soon as I saw this thread watoos Oct 2018 #5

Agreed. We could do a lot worse than Avenatti as our standard bearer, IMHO. Va Lefty Oct 2018 #6

"Avenatti as our standard bearer" ??? oberliner Oct 2018 #7

You almost nailed it, watoos Oct 2018 #11

Avenatti is not going to be a big story in '20. He'll flame out before then. 7962 Oct 2018 #20

Right wing trolls hate Avenatti. Kingofalldems Oct 2018 #14

The word "hate" has been abused to the point that it no longer has meaning. N/T WeekiWater Oct 2018 #40

It means dislike intensely. Kingofalldems Oct 2018 #55

Avenatti has been a breath of fresh air Mojo2 Oct 2018 #15

You are spot on correct! :-) LBM20 Oct 2018 #64

Avenatti is good, and I think Stormy is damn good herself at tweaking Tiny's temper. Autumn Oct 2018 #17

An Avenatti/Daniels ticket? Bonx Oct 2018 #58

Never happen. But they both take no prisoners. Autumn Oct 2018 #69

trump loves this conflict - he thrives on it - best way to deal with him is to completely ignore him DrDan Oct 2018 #19

Then we will have him Butterflylady Oct 2018 #21

I think that is a real possibility - particularly if the economy stays healthy DrDan Oct 2018 #43

I don't know how more folks don't get that. The thing a bully hates is no reaction. 7962 Oct 2018 #25

that's it - ignore him or laugh at him DrDan Oct 2018 #44

I disagree watoos Oct 2018 #26
