Steve Bannon (in an interview with Bill Maher) as quoted by Langois, Shawn (30 September 2018), Michael Avenatti, a legitimate candidate in 2020? Steve Bannon seems to think so, work: MarketWatch, retrieved: 30 September 2018

If Bernie Sanders had an ounce of [Michael] Avenatti’s fearlessness, he would’ve been the Democratic nominee, and we would have had a much tougher time beating him. Now, I don’t believe a professional politician is going to be there at the end of the day. I’ve always said it’s going to be someone like Oprah, or Avenatti, or somebody that’s more media-savvy that’s going to be there.
