I will give Schultz this: he’s the only one talking about our unsustainable $21 - $22 TRILLION dollar national debt.

I hope it forces Trump to address the issue.

[MrEdd]

He is the best the Democrats have to offer.
Lets keep this line of reasoning going until after their primaries.

[KC_for_Freedom]

One thing about this candidate, if he could draw enough electoral votes to throw the president race into the house. Nancy would be in a position to decide the victor.

This scenario has not been flushed out (to my knowledge).

[sparklite2]

Trump already addressed the issue. He submitted a budget that was not in deficit. Speaker Ryan shrugged and threw it into the trash. Then Congress passed a typically pork-laden debt buster.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I for one hope he stays in to the bitter end. Anything that can cause more dissension in the DNC is okay by me! Hopefully he’ll be the Ross Perot of the 2020 election.

Be careful what you ask for
This was the Democrat strategy for the “unelectable” Trump

[Drew68]

He is the best the Democrats have to offer.

Sure, 20 years ago. Schultz is reminiscent of the old Democratic Party before they went flow-blown intersectional socialist. That's why the Democrats today are scared of an independent run.

Trump was egging him on.

[immadashell]

But that does not mean centrist Democrats shouldn't run.

They should run if they can find one.

[shanover]

He may very well do the damage that Perot did.

[dirtymac]

Its Bull Shit. Another Ross Perot. Only there to pull from DJT. It has worked before and it is there hope

[Kaslin]

This time it will benefit us. Why do you think the rats are against him?

[lapsus calami]

 

 

The night after the DemComs resolved at denouncing him the flying monkeys on the late night talk shows were dumping on him just as enthusiastically as they do on Trump. They certainly got their marching orders. Schultz delenda est.

When "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Schultz whether he knows the price of Cheerios, it became a Twitter thing for hours.

The price of a box of Cheerios varies depending on the size of the box and the location of sale. General Mills and the other big brands (Kellogg's, Post) run manufacturer discounts often, even at oddball places like Walgreens and CVS. I would say the price runs for a standard box from $1.99 (Family Dollar or discount supermarket) to $4.39 (convenience store). In fact , people on a tight budget do not buy Cheerios. They buy a bag of Oatie O's or some other knock-off.

Just for show. all of the Dems and all of the fake media were immediately clamoring about how bad this will be for Democrats. Liars

Shultz is a look alike to Trump except he is a liberal. He will try the same stuff that Trump did trying to say he is an alternative to Trump but more composed, compassionate, and everything that the never Trumpers and the Dems hate about Trump. But Shultz isn’t. He is a liberal through and thru and he will try and draw the Libertarians, Independents, Never Trumpers, etc. I don’t trust any candidate that was first noticed and publicized by the fake news media. This is a clown act just like Ross Perot that ushered in Bill Clinton.

I wonder if he knows the price of a 6 pack of Blatz or Schlitz beer?

[Dr. Sivana]

I wonder if he knows the price of a 6 pack of Blatz or Schlitz beer?

That depends on the state. I used to buy Blatz for $1.39 a six at Lincoln Liquors on 53rd Street in S Side Chicago in the mid-80s(now gone). Schlitz used to be the #3 selling beer, and then slipped after a reformulation that went bad, plus really bad marketing (Strohs and Coors picked up the customers at that time).

A step down from Blatz was "Red, White and Blue" ($1.29). Tuborg (in green bottles!) was a good deal for $1.79. Koch's Holiday Beer was a false bargain for 99 cents a six. I probably shouldn't have bought it in July. The worst of all was "Break Beer" at the Stokes General Store in Front Royal, VA for $2.99 a case. A college pal of mine bought all they had (4 1/2 cases left) and had his friends over. The beer tasted like putrid dishwater and wasn't even useful for getting a buzz. It mostly wound up in the Shenandoah River without being processed. My pal came close to losing his friends.

They don't sell Blatz here in Arizona, but my guess is that it would go for $3.99 a six in Chicago.

[GreyFriar]

And on mentioning Schlitz beer. When I was in Germany in the 1970’s one of our tank company positions over looked the town of Schlitz. I took a drive up there on a weekend and had the beer brewed in the town. It was named Adlerbrau. (Eagle Brew).

Also, our 1st sergeant emphasized that we had to hold the town at all costs. When we asked why he said “When you’re out of Schlitz, you’re out of beer.” I wonder if that is where their advertising slogan came from.

His latte went flatte.

1) In a contingent election for President the House would vote by STATE DELEGATION. 26 needed to win. GOP still maintains 26 (and still will even if we lose that vacant NC seat)!

2)But that’s irrelevant cause the NEW House elected in 2020 would elect the President, not the old House (as was the case in 1825 and 1801 when the New Congress and New President took office at the same time in early March, I’m sure the 20th Amendment had this in mind when it started the POTUS term 3 weeks later).

3)I can’t imagine how Schliz could win any states, McMuffin was thought to have a good chance at Utah and he still came in third. Keep in mind Perot got 19% nationwide and that wasn’t even within 8% of winning any state and 5% is probably too much for a best case for Schlitz. 25% nationwide wouldn’t be enough to guarantee a single E vote. (And in ‘48 Strom Thurmond got 39 evotes on just 2% of the popular vote while Wallace got zero evotes with a nearly identical vote total, it all depends on where on where the votes are)

4)I can’t imagine that even if he did get an E vote that Pelosi or any democrat would be willing to elect the guy that came in a distant third unless it was to prevent Trump’s election by peeling off some RINOs in a GOP (delegation) House.
