RE: I’m as confident that a Howard Schultz candidacy will hurt Donald Trump in 2020 as I was in the polling that showed President Hillary would win in 2016.
Why would it hurt Trump more than whoever the Democrat candidate will be?
‘Why would it hurt Trump more than whoever the Democrat candidate will be?’
logically, it wouldn’t...which is why the Dems are in such a snit about Schultz...note how he’s now a villain for having made a lot of money...
There may have been some sarcasm in my post on President Hillary.
In theory, a third party candidate could get real consideration from those who dislike Trump's abrasive approach but also dislike the democrat nominee's expected far-left agenda. That is, most likely, why Rasmussen's poll got the result he did. In the real world, what people say they will do and what they actually do can be quite different. Especially on questions related to Trump, where the left says Trump is "literally Hitler" so they respond to pro-Trump individuals by acting literally like the terrorists they are, I have very little trust in today's polls.
