Howard Schultz tells "60 Minutes" he´s "seriously thinking" about independent run for president

[Votto]

That's right. Shultz is looking for some campaign advice from Ralph Nader.
Then Schultz is going to have dinner with Lizzy Warren.
Meanwhile Nancy and Chuck have blood coming out of their eyeballs.

Nader drew votes away from the Dims because he was farther Left, but I think Shultz would draw votes from Trump because he is saying stuff like, "Socialism can't work right now because the country is too far in debt."

Talking like that, there is not a Dim alive who would vote for him. They have all become radicalized.

Before there was Jill Stein, there was Ralph Nader. Before there was Nader, there was Ross Perot.

None won. All argued that the Republican Party and the Democratic Party were basically the same, and the only way to make real change was to ditch them both. Each was blamed for siphoning off enough votes to throw the presidential elections.

And this guy is Trump's ONLY hope for re-election

Absolutely not true...and Trumpers are praying that this will siphon off coffee drinking millennials

Only if he offers his addicted customers free drinks.

That reminds me, I was driving through a poor area and as I looked around all the buildings looked warn down, but then it happened! I stumbled upon a pristine looking Starbucks with a line of cars, beaten up, rusted out cars, all waiting their turn in line to buy an $8 drink.

Sad.

did you know? Schultz sold the Seattle Supersonics to Oklohoma...that alone should be disqualifying!

Which republicans will challenge the moron trump?

 

[basquebromance]

College-educated, comparatively affluent, fiscally concerned: These are the voters who delivered HW Bush’s seat in Houston to a business-minded Democrat candidate. These are also the voters who balked the hopes of Gillum and Abrams. They are not a majority either, nothing like it, but they are indispensable to defeating Trump. And whether or not they would ever actually vote for Howard Schultz, they are nodding along to his words.

 

[B. Kidd]

Run Howie Run!

 

[basquebromance]

Trump goading Shultz to run is because his internals are telling him what I'm also thinking: Liberal Shultz will be to Democrats what Perot was to Republicans.

Before I make up my mind in the primary, I need to know where the candidates stand on Anthony Davis' trade request.

Well......duhhh!

I am also mulling a run as a far-left conservative centrist Resocialcratian.

Howard Schultz running in 2020 is a huge plus for us. He's bashing Trump. He has no chance of stealing even a single Trump supporter to his side. Add that to the fact that Dems will be forced to run on a socialist platform, which will result in moderate Dems voting for Schultz

Many Republicans liked Perot. He was actually kind of a lesser version of Trump. And I've already heard from a few moderate Dems that they like Schultz

Congrats! You finally got there.

Run, Howie, Run!

"Bloomberg rebukes Howard Schultz and says Americans 'can't afford' to let an independent candidate help re-elect Trump"

 

[basquebromance]

I don't mind a 3rd party candidate, but it's funny to see a billionaire CEO act as if it's just not right that neither the Dems nor the GOP are perfectly aligned with the needs of corporate America

 

[mikegriffith1]

Oh, conservatives should pray that Schultz follows through on his tentative intention to run as an independent. He is loudly anti-Trump, pro-abortion, pro-transgenderism, etc., etc., but he's actually talking some sense about the problem of promising endless free stuff, so he would siphon off center-left Democrats and independents who would otherwise be inclined to vote Democratic. Run, Howard! Run!

 

[basquebromance]

when asked if he was a Democrat or a Republican, Schultz said: "half and half!"
