Starbucks billionaire Howard Schultz suspended his longshot presidential campaign on Wednesday — saying he had a sore back and needed time to get better.
Schultz told campaign staffers he was slashing the operation, the Huffington Post reported.
Schultz came into the office Wednesday for the first time in months and met with the staff, a person in the room told the website.
Later, Schultz sent an email to backers about his bad back.
“While I was in Arizona, I unfortunately experienced acute back pain that required me to cut my travels short,” he wrote.

Did not want to end up like John Anderson, Ralph Nader, or Ross Perot, in this case throwing the election to Trump.

I was really hoping he would run.
We could use a 3rd party Rat

Maybe the lying punk will go cut down some more trees to improve his view of Puget Sound. Years ago when we lived up there, he cut down huge old growth trees on park land to improve his view of the Sound. I think he paid a huge fine over it. Thought since he was a liberal, he could get away with it.

Maybe Mark Cuban?
I’d like to see him have one of the Dhimmicrap hopefuls for a running mate.

““While I was in Arizona, I unfortunately experienced acute back pain that required me to cut my travels short,” he wrote.”
That was probably caused by his turning abruptly around trying to catch someone trying to grab for his wallet!

I would have thought cutting trees down in a national park would be a felony.

Cuban is waiting for 2024. If he runs as a Republican, he probably stands a chance.
