We’ll see what kind of excuse he comes up with when one of his workers is assaulted by a freeloader.

Perfect. Schultz, the billionaire leftist can run with Liz Warren and she can confiscate his wealth.

I gave out Dutch brothers coffee gift cards for Christmas as a protest against Starbucks

Once he notices that the democratic party candidate is close to Trump’s ratings, he’ll drop out and send his voters to vote for the democrat.

He’s not there to win anything. He’s there to help the democrats.

Once a rat, always a rat.

If only he had a brain to realize that with the democrats, both his business and his own personal bottom line will suffer greatly.

Since the Democrats will be nominating a strident communist, the concern from the left is that he’ll be a magnet for left-leaners who don’t want to become Venezuela. This is sound analysis.

If it appears the best he can be is a spoiler, he may drop out of the race. If it appears he has a reasonable chance of winning a State or DC (thus winning electoral votes), he will remain. A major factor will be who the Democrats pick as their standard bearer.

As for sending voters to vote for the Democrats' candidate, he doesn't have that power. Just ask Bernie Sanders. Voters are not drones.

Bernie did get a lot of his voters to go for Hillary. What spoiled Hillary's chances was Jill, from the green party.

Last june: Howard Schultz: The $21 trillion national debt is the ‘greatest threat domestically to the country’

From another article today:

'Asked if he would consider changing his mind and run as a Democrat, he said, “I feel if I ran as a Democrat I would have to be disingenuous and say things that I don’t believe because the party has shifted so far to the left.”

“When I hear people espousing free government-paid college, free government-paid health care and a free government job for everyone — on top of a $21 trillion debt — the question is, how are we paying for all this and not bankrupting the country?” Mr. Schultz said.'

On the ‘60 Minutes’ piece tonight, Scott Pelly was almost horrified that Daddy Starbucks didn’t seem to realize that his running as Independent could ensure a Trump victory.
The winning Independent Platform: Everything Trump has done is wrong. I will get ideas from the best minds in Seattle, which will ensure victory in 2020.

C) The vast majority of Ross Perot & Ralph Nader voters reported they wouldn’t have bothered voting without the choice, so of course, those too had little effect on their respective elections.

Maybe. Maybe not. I know a socialist Ralph Nader voter who anguished over his vote in 2000. After Sore Loserman lost Florida, he never voted Green again.

Schultz knows. He built Starbucks from scratch. He’s no dummy. He probably figures a Trump victory is the lesser of two evils, the greater of which is a far left Democratic victory. There are plenty of limo liberals and globalist right wingers who don’t want the kind of confiscatory wealth and income taxes being proposed. They want open borders, but not the taxes needed to pay for anchor baby benefits. That’s Schultz’s target voter.

He’s a crazy person who ran a great business and then turned on it and ruined it for political correctness’s sake.

We used to have the occasional heroin addict falling asleep in a chair. Now we have coco-loco meth addicts acting the clown as they lean against the door jamb.

Not a big improvement, Schulzie.

If it isn’t Trump in 2020 the Republic is done. In fact, the next DemoncRat what wins the Presidency will seal its fate.

The Libtards have showed their Cards since the Election of POTUS Trump because it wasn’t supposed to happen.

They are everything we always thought they were, but now it’s out in the open.

By the way, I switched permanently, and I’d never tell you the name. Civilized people, excellent coffee that makes Starbucks taste like a nice warm milk before bedtime, good music, and no bathroom (which keeps the drop-in-center folks and their shopping carts away).

He is a flaming leftist based on what I have read over the past few years.

How many more staged racist moments can his coffee shop endure?
