Because, he said that he wants Trump out, and like it or not this is basically a two party nation. Independents/Libertarians/Greens, etc... are always spoilers! If he really wants Trump/Pence out of office, he absolutely needs to run as a Democrat!

Hillary would have destroyed him. He's got too much baggage and she knows all of it.

Hillary couldn't destroy a wet paper bag.

"Schultz bad" uses a meme based on poor grammar to imply not much reasoning or intelligence was put into the thought.

That doesn't describe your position on schultz.

My theme has been the various hit pieces and attacks that have already been coming down the pipe at him that are nothing to do with politics but rather his race, gender or gasp, having the temerity to run for office as an independent.

Doesn't quite answer the question. It sounds like he is somehow owes the Democratic party something.

It's highly unlikely I'd vote for him, so I don't have a dog in this fight.

She can when she has the DNC knee-capping him and getting her the debate questions ahead of time.

Haha no. He has been attacked for being a Nader. I myself attacked his stances. He is a if anything a blue dog Democrat. He is pushing for a very millionaire friendly fight against the millionaire marginal tax rate that only taxes income over $5m a year. He is also against Medicare for all because it will bankrupt insurance agencies. He is Trump light minus social issues. Pass.

I'd like to point out as Exhibit A, the irrational hate that is already being targeted at Mr. Schultz.

I mean this doesn't even begin to make sense Ringo, what the heck are you thinking? Oh wait....you're not...you're just attacking blindly as instructed.

LOL...and people can't believe it when I claimed that the next wave of attacks on Schultz are going to go after him for mistreating women and minorities.

You going to help with that smear too?
Failure as a PRESIDENT not failure as a businessman. Just because he convinced folks to pay $8 for a cup of coffee does not mean he can run the country.

We are living out that scenario right NOW.

Good lands.

That said, Schultz is running on a platform of austerity and platitudes. Pass.

Next time try some reading comprehension.
