    The 2020 Democratic nominee may very well be a white man, but this notion that it has to be is dumb. Andrew Gillum and Stacey Abrams, in the Deep South, are running brilliant campaigns against conservative white men. Compare Obama’s campaigns to Gore in ‘00 & Kerry in ‘04.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1055539241046999042 …

    Stop saying that Michael Avenatti didn’t say the 2020 candidate “better be a white male.” It’s exactly what he said. He’s dumb as rocks. This bullshit notion that only white men can defeat conservative white men has been proven wrong over and over again. pic.twitter.com/HQXcaayruF

        He's just making a case for his own candidacy whilst disclaiming any connection he has to white nationalists. It's not a big deal to me, but you'll probably discount my opinion because I'm also a white male. I am also a fan of Booker, Waters, Gillum, Abrams, and other good hearts

        Why would you pick the worst candidate the Democrats could pick? Harris was easily able to throw Steve Mnuchin in prison and prevent his bank from stealing thousands of people's homes, but she didn't care. And awful record with private prisons...https://shadowproof.com/2017/08/15/kamala-harris-neoliberal-record-reckoning/ …

        she increased drug dealer convictions and pushed a strict truancy policy. OH NO! is that article seriously the best anti-harris arguments you got?

        "Strict truancy policy" is framing it disingenuously. You're ignoring that she let Steve Mnuchin off the hook... What are you supporting and opposing in backing her? Just look up other articles yourself. Even the libertarian stooges at Reason got it right:https://reason.com/blog/2018/01/12/kamala-harris-is-not-smart-on-crime …

        i get what you're saying and it's shitty of him to say what he said, but can we talk about this, say, 2 weeks from now? the election is so close; the last thing we need right now is infighting.

        I’m disappointed in Avenatti for that statement. He’s done a lot of good things, not the least of which was taking on Trump and Cohen. But that doesn’t make him a good political candidate.

        and these people are highly capable even miles ahead of their opponents as far as being qualified yet still have a high possibility of NOT winning. Hell just look at Beto. How he isnt miles ahead of Cruz is insane. I dont agree with you on this one

        Thank you for drawing attention to this article. I read the entire article and focused on this entire paragraph very thoroughly and completely. Who do YOU think should be running? We need the best and can't afford to lose.

        What Mr. Avenatti said was disappointing at least. It was wrong. Full Stop. I was hoping we could have a scrapper, in a similar, but better, vein of Trump's style of pugnacious rhetoric. But, he just shot himself in the foot.

        I feel you. But thos conservatives don't have Trump's charisma and moxie or following. I think it is more important that the person have a big enough personality to best Trump. But that could be a woman or person of color.

        @MichaelAvenatti is simply stating his opinion. @shaunking has his and they’re different. It’s okay to think your own thoughts and not agree. Does it really merit insulting each other?
