The Democrats have an antidote for Howard Schultz...

It's called "Bernie Sanders".

Bernie Sanders is an "Independent" that sometimes runs as a Democrat. But, in my opinion, he has locked down the Independent vote that might vote for a Democratic candidate. They will not leave him to vote for a billionaire CEO that resembles Donald Trump with his message.

Reports have shown that most "independents" vote for either one or the other of the two major Parties. It is a small percentage that actually votes "independently" on election day.

In my opinion, Democrats should not fear Howard Schultz - Republicans should be more fearful. It is those independents that tend to vote Republican that would more likely vote for Schultz.

I seriously doubt that another billionaire businessman will pull many votes from the Democratic Party.
