Starbucks founder Howard Schultz — who is contemplating a presidential run as a Democrat — recently attended a private gathering of political donors organized by Mitt Romney, according to a report at Politico. Politico’s Ben Schrekinger writes that the donors, “convened by” Romney, were unimpressed with the would-be candidate:
Wall Street analysts are wary, and company leadership is nervous, about the effect a Democratic bid by its chairman emeritus could have on Starbucks’ business, given its bipartisan customer base. If that weren’t discouraging enough, his retirement last month set off a boomlet of pundits urging him not to run. And his recent appearance at a private gathering of political donors convened by Mitt Romney inspired indifference.
Romney is a Republican nominee for a U.S. Senate seat in Utah’s midterm elections, running to replace incumbent Sen. Orrin Hatch’s (R-UT) pending retirement.
Following the arrest of two black men in a Philadelphia-based Starbucks framed as a racial incident by news media outlets in April, the coffee shop chain closed 8,000 of its locations across the nation for one afternoon to conduct “racial bias training” for its employees.
Schultz endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in September 2016 interviews with CNN and CNBC.
“I think it’s obvious Hillary Clinton needs to be the next president,” said Schultz, describing himself as a “life-long Democrat.”

Why can’t we have old campaign conventions, like Star Trek conventions, where old washed up former presidential candidates like Hillary and Mitt give speeches, recount their glory days, sign autographs, and maybe come out of the closet and leave the rest of us alone.
I bet he runs in 2020 for President as aDemocrat.
Demonrat Romney.
So this is why Starbucks has ended the plastic straws.
Mitt Romney is such a homo.
Traitor
Is it just me or is there something really slimy about Mitt Romney. I simply don’t sense he has much, if any, integrity. Like he’s cut from the cloth as Juan McLame.
I think Romney is another failed presidential nominee who never got over losing. He has probably spent the past six years getting up every morning and thinking, “Gee, what would I do today if I were president?” Like all of them, he just needs to go away. I’ve had little use for him even before he was in politics. I used to work for a company that was taken over by Bain Capital when he ran it. I wasn’t impressed with what the did to us. When he ran against Ted Kennedy, I remember thinking that if I were from Massachusetts, that would have been the one time I would have voted for Ted. Now, I think if I were from Utah, I would vote for Wilson. I’d hate to lose the seat, but I sure would like to see that arrogant SOB Romney put in his place for good.
A vote for Schultz is a vote to turn the US into the world’s public toilet.
