Well, except for Starbucks’ employees, he’s a total unknown. But, he does have the money, way more of a billionaire than the Dump. Some have suggested that he’ll pull votes away from the Dems, but with his pro-Dump stance of protecting other billionaires from taxes, he’s just as likely to pull votes from Repubs as well.
A theory: We already know Shultz does not favor tax increases for the rich or medicare for all. Perhaps his motive IS to siphon off some democratic voters and assure Trump’s reelection.
Really? No lesson has been learned from having one businessman who is completely devoid ANY knowledge whatsoever of 1. government, 2. the law, 3. the difference between “government” and “business”; and 4. his actual place in the grand scheme of things? Just because you eat doen’t mean you can run restaurant. Just because you live in a country doesn’t mean you can preside over one.
I’m in favor of every rich business person running to be a presidential candidate. All that trickle down to TV networks, advertising agencies, yard-sign makers and think tanks has to be better than whatever they have been doing with their spare cash. And I’m okay with several of them running in the finals on the racist/misogynist platform, but only one liberal please.

From an article in NBCNews: "Howard Schultz’s presidential bid is unnecessary. We already have a delusional rich guy in the White House."

I’m surprised no one has done a Sgt. Schultz themed cartoon for Howard. “I know nothing!”

Well, at least clueless Howard will get a snoot full of our lack of patience with rich fools. Could it be this is just a vanity run?
