FOX Business reports: Secret focus group could point to presidential run by Dick's Sporting Goods CEO
Dick’s Sporting Goods CEO says company destroyed $5 million worth of guns instead of returning them
Politico has it’s own take:
Hillary Clinton has opened up a 12-point advantage over Donald Trump following their final debate last week and has reached the critical 50-percent mark, according to a new poll released Sunday.
NO…Wait…That was then, this is now:
The prospect of a well-funded, third-party candidate could have a significant impact in a race where Trump is expected to be unable to win a majority of the vote. In 2016, Trump won just 46% against Hillary Clinton and has consistently hovered below 50% in national polls.
The all important “focus group” was employed:
Various messages were presented to a focus group in southern Wisconsin this week centering on the billionaire businessman, along with possible three-way match-ups against Donald Trump and Joe Biden or Elizabeth Warren.
The focus group, according to a source who took part in the testing, ran through varying themes involving Stack and heavily focused on his example of “showing leadership” by halting the sale of assault-style rifles at all of Dick’s Sporting Goods stores in the wake of the high school massacre in Parkland, Florida.
The winning “theme” suggests Trump’s base is eager to vote for an old, white guy who hates the 2nd Amendment and “black” rifles.
Because why does anybody need a semi-automatic “assault weapon”?

Eddie has done well with his business, (started with his Dad’s Bait and Tackle Shop, now 500+ stores) I grew up with him. But he says he is not interested in running, his sister ran for Congress as a liberal democrat and lost. We’ll see.
Damn. Am I gonna have to buy another “sporting arm”?
“Stack of Dick’s” just doesn’t give me a warm feeling
Isn’t this where you cut and paste ‘McMuffin’ into the 3rd party group?
2016 was a unique year for 3rd party players (6-million-plus votes). It rarely ever went past 2-million. Nine million in 1968 (G Wallace) was the last time that it really made that big of a difference.
I just don’t see the Libertarians and the Greens really taking more than 2-million this time around. There’s no one else out there with the charisma to overtake Trump.
Eddie was in Binghamton on Tuesday supposedly to give a speech on Business and the history of Dick’s. Instead he gave a sermon on gun control and politics. That was not what the audience was expecting. The “speech” was a complete dud.
Perot ~20 million votes and ~19% of vote in 92...
Perot did his act only to ensure Bush didn’t win again.
I heard that Richard Head may be pondering a run too.
He looks like he could us one
