Twitter is abuzz with speculation that the legal and media battle of 2018 may be the political battle of 2020, after Stormy Daniels lawyer Michael Avenatti posted a comment on Twitter Tuesday night about what it would take for someone to go up against President Donald Trump.

Avenatti has similarly described himself this way in the past, and has certainly shown no fear in publicly going after the president.
The reactions to the comment were excited, to say the least.

It doesnt look like Avenatti has answered these questions yet, although when someone asked if his tweet meant hed be up for the role of U.S. Attorney General, he did say no to that.

In an email to Law&Crime, Avenatti explained that he meant that hes not interested in being Attorney General in the current administration. Regarding the presidential buzz, he simply said, As for the response, I am extremely fortunate to have some very strong and passionate supporters who dont hesitate to tell me what they think.

I think he's a good person overall who wants to do something but also knows this is his chance at self promotion on an international scale. Would I take him seriously as a candidate? No but it's fun to watch.

Hell, I'd take him over Blue Dog Gillibrand and IDC superfan Cuomo.
But it's a moot point since it's not happening. People should stop being gullible.
