Grande, venti, I always am amused they use such names, as opposed to small, medium, large.
“Today he’s remembered, if he’s remembered at all, as the man who probably cost George H.W. Bush a second term”
God, what a tragedy. /s
Venti is “20” in Italian, is it not ?
These kids are 20 upset ? That sounds series. And hugh.
If the Democratic plan is to bring Harris onto the scene, or Warren...then Schultz has a fairly decent chance of taking 50-percent of Democratic votes. Just suggesting Bernie might run as an independent or some national socialist party....might take 20-percent of Democratic voters. But I don’t see where the platform of positions for Schult would attract that many GOP voters. Once you suggest more gun-control....95-percent of Republican voters will walk away from the guy.
RE: Venti is 20 in Italian, is it not ?
The title is in reference to Starbuck’s Coffee sizes.
Short, (8 ounces), Tall (12 ounces), Grande (16 ounces), Venti (20 ounces), and Venti Iced (24 ounces )
Perot was right about NAFTA...
AND Bush.
Everyone loves to blame Perot. I think Bush breaking his unequivocal “read my lips”, no new tax promise, his and Cheney’s destroying hundreds of Navy careers over tailhook, and his assault rifle ban also had something to do with it.
Bush sicked and as time has passed, and now we know about his Mena dope operation, I’m glad he lost.
Harris might be formidable, but Warren is basically a has been with a humiliating “just one of you folks,” live stream drinking beer & figuring out what to cook for supper. She seems to have zero support.
I hate both parties fairly equally, so at this point I'm just in it for the chaos. I just wanna watch everybody get #triggered. Schultz has the potential to piss off a lot of snowflakes on both sides, so I say good for him. Plus, all the coffee puns will wear out their welcome quickly, which will annoy even more people. Tee-hee!Hard to disagree with that.
Well, I thought Warren would appeal to women beer-drinkers and go for their vote....talking rustic stuff, muffin recipes, Indian customs, and sipping off an open bottle of diet Bud.
You really bought into an sucked in all the John Kerry communist propaganda on Mena, didn’t you?
Harris combines the foreign status, race, and marxism of Obama, with the charm of a bitter ex-wife. Oh, and she’s a skank who got her start in politics with political appointments to highly paid boards because she was riding dirty, cheating with Willie Brown.
Perfect./s
Yep. And also, he was a goober. For all the excuses, he was astonished by a bar code reader at a grocery checkout.
Starbucks sizes make no sense at all. Short can be a cereal bowl, but I’ll take it as “small” but Tall would be some sort of large, but it’s a medium and it IS taller than a short so I’ll let that slide.
Then comes Grande which does mean large, but it’s Venti that loses me. Venti is 20 in Italian. Nothing to do with extra large or whatever. And Venti Iced.. unless “Iced” means 4 in italian we’ll have to assume that they are just being different to be different like everyone else.
If Perot had not run his voters would have needed to split 2/3 for Bush I for im to beat Clinton.
I am actually not sure what effect Schultz would have as an independent candidate.
First off: I doubt this even lasts through the summer of 2019. Schultz may be the CEO of a famous company, but he has nothing like the name recognition of a Donald Trump, or even a Forbes or Bloomberg. 99% of Americans have no idea who Schultz is, and unless he spends a ton of money over the next year, they never will. And if he is even moderately successful, the Democrats and their media tools will bury him. They just need to find one former employee to claim sexual harassment, and if they can’t find one, they’ll invent one. He is not scandal-proof like Trump.
But lets forget all that and assume he does run a viable campaign. Does he have a chance of winning? I agree with the author: No. He won’t even win one state. From whom would he take more votes? I have no idea. Trump is unpopular with a majority of the electorate, and a large number of moderates and swing voters would prefer to vote for someone else. But, the way the Democrat field is shaping up so far, the Democrats are poised to nominate the most radical major party candidate since William Jennings Bryan. Moderates aren’t going to want to vote for a Marxist.
I think any viable moderate third-party candidate would potentially swallow up a lot of swing voters, and the winner would be the major party candidate who can turn out more of his or her base in enough swing states to win.
I don’t go to Starbucks but there’s a coffee shop in downtown Ventura I hit occasionally if I’m there. They size their coffees the same way. Rather than try to figure it out I just tell them I want a large coffee with cream. lol
Bullcrap. It’s pretty much beyond doubt what happened in Mena. And that is how we got Bill and Hillary.
The CIA admits to conducting Contra training there, and joint exercises, and that contract work was done on CIA aircraft there. And it was just a coincidence that this same little airport was a giant dope port of entry for the Medellin Cartel. And another coincidence was that the Governor of that state wound up being the President who made sure nothing happened to Bush who was veep when it happened. And that they were very close...like a son.
And just another coincidence, Dan Lassater, the biggest cocaine dealer out of Little Rock was pardoned by Bill Clinton.
And all at the same airport with the CIA, but they saw nothing. Lol
But the CIA appreciates your help. Drink that GOPe kool-aid bro /s
But please enjoy your beverage and the R&D puppet show! No actors were incarcerated during or after their time on stage.
