Howard Schultz encounters a skeptical public (voters, Israel, Democrats, Republicans)

[Clarallel]

To put it mildly.

Schultz, you likely know, is toying with the idea of running for president. He had a book event at Barnes & Noble in NYC (standing room only, based on the photograph), and someone in the audience yelled out - well, I can't print it here, but you can check out the link.

The heckler speaks for the entire sane electorate.

He's the best thing Democrats have at this time. The others are all a bunch of left wing nut job socialist.

Dems will systematically destroy him just as they did with every Repub candidate in 2016. He is a huge threat to them and they know it.

He said if he runs, it will not be as a Democrat, but as an independent candidate.

It's his vanity project and people know it.

Democrats believe they are entitled to all of his potential voters.

The United States doesn't need another Israel-firster/USA-laster President. (We already have one who's been bought and paid for by AIPAC.) Maybe he could exercise his dual citizenship and take Satanyahu's job when he inevitably ends up in jail.

I don't see him running, but if he did I think he could hurt Trump more than the Democratic nominee. He wants a balanced budget, reductions in entitlement spending etc... and those are more aligned with what Republicans say they want rather than Democrats.

The last thing we need is another billionaire business man who thinks that his money qualifies him for the presidency. He has no experience in government, in any kind of public governance, or in international relations and diplomacy. His motivation is pretty clear: he is afraid Democrats will raise HIS income tax. He is running out of pure self interest. Time to put to rest the false idea that if you can run a business, you can run the government.
