Howard Schultz: I will not run "if...."

February 13, 2019 at 8:21 am EST By Taegan Goddard

“If the math doesn’t tally up… in the next three to four months… I will not run for President, because I will not do anything to re-elect President Trump.”

— Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, quoted at a CNN town hall.

Another term of Donald Trump would be a short-term disaster for the country. The effects of global warming are already shaping up to be disastrous; four more years of Trump would be catastrophic.

This explains (far better than I could) why a third party candidate is merely a spoiler unless we changed the way our election system works. Which I don’t see in the foreseeable future.

... and I mean that sincerely. It tells me that Mr. Schultz really is listening to people and figuring stuff out. The best thing he could do would be to run in the GOP primary against Trump. Since he's not doing that ... well, there really isn't anything else he can do.
