Would Mr. Starbucks be another Ross Perot (screwing the Republicans), another Ralph Nadar (screwing the Democrats), or would he truly be an independent candidate (screwing neither or screwing them equally)?

I’ll buy a few burnt Starbucks if it helps his losing campaign.

He’ll play the Jill Stein part in 2020.

Since Trump broke the billionaire barrier, now billionaires want to be president. This guy, Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg....

A) Jill Stein had zero effect on the 2016 presidential elections.

B) There’s nothing that he can articulate that will draw many Republicans to him, so no matter what, this hurts Democrats.

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.

D) It’s up to the candidate to attract votes; if they fail, that is a failing on them, not the fault of some other person. W could have done much to fix his problems, instead, he ran that campaign pretty much as a Democrat and took much for granted. Massive mistake.

i doubt PDJT would need any such help getting re-elected (assuming he still wants the damned job, ha!)

especially he wouldn’t need any help if the SorozNazi Dimocraps nominate any of the several awful candidates they’ve floated in their controlled mass propaganda media, ha!

but...super headline and fine and dandy, bring the idiot new guy on...smile smile smile

3rd party candidates always take away votes from the other two candidates. How much is taken away from the Republican side depends on how much the 3rd party candidate fools gullible Republicans and independents of which there are significant quantities. My initial take is this helps Trump but one cannot necessarily count on this.

I see him as an anti-swamp entry. I'm happy to see a lefty businessman join the fray. It's preferable to all the Marxist/socialists/communists that the left is teeing up.

Trump is having an effect. The incompetent political hacks that never had a job are being challenged on both sides of the divide. It's a good thing.

Sounds like he’d run on a “both parties suck” platform. He’s got a point, to an extent but it’s been done before.

He’s a retard. Single handedly destroyed the Sbucks franchise by opening the stores to homeless drug-addicts because of a situation where an employee felt his safety was at risk due to pc.

Simply put: one issue with blacks and made a white guilt apology and placed Sbucks customers more at risk..

The Left are having a collective panic attack. I saw the 60 Minutes piece and I read the Atlantic piece. The Left understand that what the Atlantic said is right. If Mr. Starbucks runs, Trump will win. 60 Minutes, the Atlantic, and the rest of the Media will go all in to stop this from happening. If they fail, the 2020 election is over.

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

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.

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.'
