For the sake of our Fourth Estate, I truly wish I were kidding. But it's worth revisiting the deluge of delusional Avenatti wishcasting over the past year [2019].
Avenatti announced Daniels' lawsuit against Trump on March 6 of last year. In the subsequent two months and four days, Avenatti appeared on CNN 65 times and MSNBC 43 times, earning him around $175 million in free media coverage. Brian Stelter, CNN's resident ombudsman, dedicated regular segments speculating with Avenatti about his political future, entertaining him as a serious presidential contender.
"I think President Obama also had a lot of TV star power and that helped him pre-Trump," Stelter mused with Avenatti by his side earlier last year. "But Trump is more evidence of this. And looking ahead to 2020, one reason I’m taking you seriously as a contender is because of your presence on cable news."
His colleague Chris Cillizza echoed the same in July with a piece headlined, "President Michael Avenatti? Never say never!"
Avenatti received glowing media treatment not just on cable, but also in fluffy profiles flanked by Annie Leibovitz, heralded as a Resistance-era hero helping a porn star take down the president.
But grifters always come to collect, and eventually Avenatti's ran dry. There were domestic violence allegations, lawsuit losses adding up Avenatti's bill into the tens of millions, a judge's ruling that Daniels had to pay Trump more than a quarter-million dollars as a result of Avenatti's less-than-quixotic gambit, and, of course, the fact that Avenatti blew up whatever odds remained of the #Resistance nuking Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination after he launched the Julie Swetnick farce.
So Avenatti proved himself not the consummate politico, and the media slowly stepped back.

Creepy Porn Lawyer!
What’s your point?
The point is that if liberals would fantasize about a fanatical porn-star lawyer running for President, then it is not surprising they vote for Biden.
Yes. They are a deeply disturbed lot. I know that you know chapter and verse better than me but I was just explaining this mess it to my 86 year old mom (who accepted Christ 3 months ago)by explaining what can happen if you don’t pay attention to the Bible and stay vigilant because if you don’t you’ll get devoured by the roaming lion that is the devil. The lion has a full belly tonight.
