It's interesting that most of the negative comments about Michael Moore are insults about his appearance. I've seen this in other threads about him as well.

Totally agree.

There is a zero chance I would vote for Schultz but if he wants to run however he wants to run, he should be able to. If you wan't "your team" to win, make sure you run a decent person.

This is a good point that I had not considered.

Yep. And so far it doesn't look that great.

I'm a Bernie fan, personally. Not that I think he's perfect, but I was rooting for him.

Schulz is the largest shareholder in Starbucks by far. He founded it. Fairly inspiring from rags to riches story, even if you don't like the product. He basically did it by hewing to lefty principles, and now they are basically throwing him under the bus.

Inspiration from halfwits?

I don’t see it.

For the record, Starbucks coffee is overpriced and sucks.

He cried for the taxpayers to spend millions on his basketball team and when they wouldn't he shipped them off. Color me not impressed.

That might be due to the fact that he has made a career out of insulting white people, white males especially. He ridicules people based upon them being white Americans. When you do that you can only expect the same low ridicule in return.
BTW his movies are nothing more than race baiting hit pieces. His opinion is no more valid than anyone else.

I avoid Starbucks because :
1. They are very expensive for what you get.
2. I don't hangout at shops like Starbucks. I like a nice cafe or breakfast place. Mom and pop style.
3. I don't like Starbucks politics or PC actions.

Where I live now there are plenty of coffee shops besides Starbucks and any of them will get my business, just not Starbucks.
Moore has nothing to do with my decision making and in fact if he says it I would likely believe that the opposite were true.

His policy positions are kind of a mixed bag, if you look at statements he's made over the past few years. I could see him appealing to a lot of Republicans who don't like Trump.

I would definitely rather have him than Trump, but I'm not sure that he can beat Trump in the primary.
