Attorney Michael Avenatti has thrown his hat firmly into the ring to become the next Democratic candidate for President against Donald Trump.

Avenatti gave a series of rallying statements at Politicon on Saturday and issued battle cries on behalf of the Democrats urging the Party to fight a 'brutal campaign' against Trump in 2020.

The 47-year-old expressed doubts that any current major Democratic candidates could succeed in beating Trump in an election within two years.

But he boasted his 'unique skill set' was an asset to beating Trump and a 'threat' to Republicans.

The California attorney, who represents porn star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Trump, offered up his blue print for success over the Republicans in the future.

He said Trump would be hard to beat in 2020, especially if the left tackles him with a 'message of puppies and daisies.'

While he publicly says that he is undecided if he will run, his fiery comments at Politicon in Los Angeles on Saturday evening spelled out much of his policies on subjects including gun control and immigration

When asked directly if he has plans to run for POTUS, Avenatti said that he's been working on the Get Out To Vote campaign for the midterm elections but that he's received support himself.

'I have have been speaking at a number of events, I have been gauging enthusiasm. I have been very humbled by the outpouring of support that I have received.

'Here is what I am concerned about; when I look into the field of potential democrat nominees I see a number of very highly qualified, accomplished politicians many of whom would make an exceptional President.

'But what I don't see is any of whom could actually beat Donald Trump.'

Avenatti said it was telling that Trump beat out 16 other candidates during the primaries in 2016 and won against Hillary Rodham Clinton, calling her 'the most qualified individual to ever seek the office of President'.

He added: 'The bottom line is the Democrat Party has no business nominating somebody that cannot beat Donald Trump.'

Avenatti admitted that his party needs to step up their political work against their opponents.

'The 'Republicans are changing and are very good at winning,' he said.

'They are better than the Democrats at winning. We are allowed the Republicans to paint the Democrat as weak, even though we are not weak.'

'The only way is to change that and to fight what matters for the United States.'

He even confessed that he is considering his Vice Presidential options.

'I have given some thought to the following that in the event that someone like me, and there are others in the field, were to be the nominee, what kind of vice presidential running mate should be in light of the current situation and what would the match up be. Let me stress this - this is all about the match up.'

Avenatti insists he will only run against Trump or Pence for the White House, but no others.

'If Donald Trump announces tonight or tomorrow or any other day, that he is not going to run 2020, the appetite I have for running goes down by 50 percent,' he said.

'If Mike Pence then announces he is not going to run, I will not seek the office of the [president] of the United States.

'I do not consider myself the chosen one or any of this nonsense that people try to assign to me. I believe I have a unique skill set for this particular moment in time we find ourselves in, but if you change the opponents then my thought process changes expediently.'

Avenatti criticized his potential rivals in the Democratic primary as qualified and well-studied but not sufficiently pugilistic.

'Part of the problem is that we don't have enough Democrats that will actually stand toe-to-toe with this bully Donald Trump and fight for the rights and values of this republic,' he said.

We are in a fight for the future of this republic. We have too many Democrats that want to talk puppies and daisies, and expect to beat Donald Trump.

'If you want to fight for this republic, if you want to take this nation back, you're going to have to engage in a brutal campaign, as it relates to taking this nation back. And that is what is going to have to happen in 2020, and I finally believe that.'

Avenatti also brought up the comments made by former Attorney General Eric Holder at a campaign event earlier this month.

Borrowing from former first lady Michelle Obama's phrase from the 2016 Democratic National Convention, 'When they go low, we go high,' Holder said the Democrats needed to adopt a different need to go in a new direction.

'No. When they go low, we kick them. That's what this new Democratic Party is about,' he said.

Avenatti claimed Holder 'appropriated' his comments about tackling Trump and his party.

'When they go low, we hit harder, which I firmly believe needs to be the approach of the Democrats,' he said.

'And I'm not talking about violence, but I'm talking about the fact that we need somebody that goes toe-to-toe with this guy. We can't wait for him to elevate the discourse and hope to beat him.'

He also bemoaned that he doesn't believe Trump takes the presidency seriously.

'A fundamental problem with Donald Trump is that he governs the way he campaigns, he has never taken the job seriously since he has been elected,' he said.

'He has forgotten that he is the President for all The United States. He thinks he he is on contestant campaign.

'And the bottom line is that there's only one way that these tweets and this behavior and this conduct and this misogyny is going to end, and it's only going to end if you displace Donald Trump from the White House.'

Avenatti insists that his media packed and photo call packed anti Trump activism so far has been low key.

'If anything I don't think I have gone far enough.'

He said he hoped had hoped Trump's behavior would improve after the election.

Avenatti, who has been a popular presence at Politicon, was asked to pose for pictures with fans and hounded by the media at the event on Saturday.

But he lost his cool when challenged about how some in the media cited him as being responsible for blurring the lines on the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Justice hearings.

'That is a bunch of bullsh*t. This is a complete fallacy.

'This is driven by the fact that the right is not used to having a fighter on the left. I am a threat and I am going to continue to be a threat to the Republican and this disgrace of a President Donald Trump.'

He was vigorously cheered by the audience, and added: 'If I wasn't a threat to the Republican Party an Donald Trump they wouldn't be talking about me. Ted Cruz, [Mitch] McConnell, the President, they are very very concerned and they should be.'

He added women will not vote for Trump in 2020.

'This is a man who has been demeaning women his whole adult life,' Avenatti continued.

'The only way we are going to solve this problem is defeating him and removing him from office.'

Avenatti admitted that he is most 'fired up' by Trump's foreign diplomacy.

'This president Of the United States has stood shoulder to shoulder with Vladamir Putin and now Saudis against USA Americans and he seems to be more concerned about protecting his business interests relating to Russia and the Saudis than he does United States citizens. I think it is an absolute outrage.

'For the conservatives in the audience. Ask yourself this? What would Ronald Reagan say if he were alive today? He would be outraged and most rightfully so.

'This situation with the Saudis is an absolute murder and a decapitation of a US resident and journalist. It should be an outrage to everybody in this room.

Avenatti used Politicon to spell out his policies on immigration and gun control during a series of answers, which prompted many cheers but also boos from the crowd.

Avenatti admitted that he would 'stop that caravan', referring to the hundreds of immigrants traveling from Honduras trying to force their way into the US.

He added: 'It is vital to the national security to have a strong border in the United States. I don not believe unlike many of the likely Democrat nominees, the idea that we are going to eliminate ICE is a disaster.'

'However we cannot allow ICE to carry out the policies like they have in the last 18 months. We cannot have ICE separating families at a southern borders, ripping kids from their parents, breaking down people's doors and removing people that have been in this country for five, 10, 20 years contributing to our society.

'We have to always be a beacon of light to the rest of the world. We have to be true to what made America America. We have to provide for more legal immigration, a path of citizen to dreamers; we have to clean up the issue but we have to reasonable about it.

'And we can't build a wall to the tune of billion of dollars, which is not going to work anyway.'

He joked: 'If anybody sees the check in the mailbox from Mexico to pay for the wall please call the White House because they are looking for it.'
