as a republican, I wouldn't vote for him. the leftists, which are the democrats, said schultz was an interloper and wouldn't vote for him, either. Schultz made a good call. entering the race for president would have caused him and his family lots of grief for nothing.

A guy doesn't get to be the CEO of Starbuck's by being stupid.
Obviously, Shultz jumped into the race unprepared and far too soon.
Just because his back went bad doesn't mean his politics stopped. Recuperation time may well be spent in reading, planning, and thinking, and Shultz can always come back. If he does, he will be sharper and more fit when he comes.

Stupid? That's debatable. Look at the mess the CEO of Boeing has them in. I say it's debatable because some will say, stupidity, some will say simple greed. I will argue they go hand in hand.
Seems to me that Schultz instituted some liberal policies but that didn't work. His position was that the homeless could use the restrooms at Starbucks but they couldn't get health care.
I don't think Schultz was ever viable. But I think Bloomberg might be in a race that might come down to Trump vs some unreconstructed socialist. We may very well end up with two major party candidates that the majority of voters consider unacceptable. So there may be an opening for an independent. I doubt Schultz was it, and maybe he's figured that out. Bloomberg, who could buy Schultz several time over, and has much better name recognition going in, would have a better shot.
Schultz: "I am from the projects" and "I have empathy for the people left behind".
Any yet reportedly when a representative from the exact housing unit in he lived growing up asked for some sort of Starbucks contribution he and his represent refused to even discuss anything.
For "comprehensive tax reform" but immediately and completely dismisses Warren's proposal of a 2% tax on wealth over $50 million? Uh huh.
If you decide to come back and run an independent campaign for President, I'll expect you to have a realistic finance budget. Like $100 million of your own money and staff sufficient to raise at least another $200 million. If you plan to run a campaign on a tiny fraction of that, don't. Because it won't be that credible or likely effective.

Shultz never ran Boeing. Apples and oranges.
Between Boeing, an old and leading aviation company, and Starbucks', a coffee shop, I think making a coffee shop chain as big a success as it is a much harder job.
I'll stick with my claim Shultz has the smarts. What he lacked when he declared wasn't intelligence; it was a clear vision of what he intended to accomplish by running. I'm sure he's smart enough to get some focus, and if he does, he's still got plenty of time to re-enter the race.

He may have the smarts. My comment was in reference that you don't become a CEO by being stupid. I disagree.
