Ex-Bush Press Secretary Hypes Avenatti As Serious 'Trump-Like Fighting Outsider' Back to article

I’m not sure if he’s trolling or what, but I agree that Democrats could learn from him.

An insult for an insult will make the whole world insulting.

squirreltown · September 3, 2018, 4:18pm

This fucking troll can bite me.

geofu54 · September 3, 2018, 4:19pm

I miss the normal world we once knew.

What is Al Gore doing these days ? A boring politician could have a real good chance in 2020 after the current circus…

No, Mister “Ex-Bush Press Secretary”, we have had quite enough of Trump or Trump-Like gangsters in politics.

Your five* minutes are up.

Go away.

*Used to be fifteen, but the news cycle is compressing. Soon we’ll be seeing next-year’s news today.

Avenatti to hold ‘resistance rally’ in Texas the same night as Trump’s campaign rally for Cruz

If all that mattered was winning, then sure, why not. But we’re not as craven as the GOP where we’d trade our country’s future and our people’s security for electoral wins.

Montana governor Steve Bullock comes to mind as well as Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti and former Massachusetts governor Devel Patrick.

Memo to Ari Fleisher:

Drop fucking dead.

Strong letter to follow.

sigh

rhs1963 · September 3, 2018, 5:57pm

I would prefer he stick to the Stormy case and not get carried away.

pike_bishop · September 3, 2018, 5:59pm

Sir, i’m feelin’ you.

And after a bit of introspection i submit this response to ‘a circle of insults’ -

After 25 years of Gingrich/Kasich/Boehner/DeLay and those jackals, Bush/Cheney/Rove, McConnell/Cruz/Grassley/Ryan/PhreeDumb caucus…I say venting through anonymous probably-never-received chat room insults is preferable to going out and buying an assault weapon.

inversion · September 3, 2018, 6:29pm

Short answer (cause I’m enjoying the ballpark weather)

While I’m “enjoying” this notion that being like Trump is the way to a win (though Flescher will swear that he didn’t say that), I wonder if Ari will be the first one to exclaim about decorum loss.

drtv · September 3, 2018, 6:43pm

If I were the Ds

Yeah, but you’re not. Now, please crawl back into your obscurity.

bonvivant · September 3, 2018, 6:45pm

He would be a better candidate than any I see in the running now. He would attract moderates as well as progressives. About seventy five percent of the population believes in climate change, a big change from when he first ran. Besides, he has already won the popular vote once only to have his victory stolen by the SC.
I read the other other day that Kerry was not ruling out a run. I sure hope someone talks him out of it.

tena · September 3, 2018, 6:49pm

The guy has his uses but I think taking him seriously is a big mistake.

jkrogman · September 3, 2018, 7:04pm

Concern trolling by another GOP troll. Sigh…

dommyluc · September 3, 2018, 7:25pm

If I were the Ds, I wouldn’t take Ari Fleischer’s advice even on pain of death. And I like Avenatti. It’s just that Fleischer is an idiot. And a pig.
