All he will do is ensure that trump wins. I wonder if he ever heard of Ross Perot? H W Bush sure did.

..which is "Democrats: Don't elect an economic liberal......OR ELSE!!!!"

I'm hopeful our folks are smart enough to see through this hostage taking technique, but I'm afraid we still have any number of overpaid "consultants" from the bygone era of Sensible Centrism™ who will do enough talking in the ears of the money men and the DNC to make the situation troubling.

and the consultants will unfortunately also have the ear of producers/bookers for the cable news shows.

he will have to organize petition drives to get an insane number of signatures to get onto the state ballots.

i understand that money is no object, but the votes of real people are very hard to buy. for what? because he promises to cut my little social security check?

i think he pulls votes from trump, not from dems.

he comes across as a left leaner.

Maybe he didn’t expect the blowback. Seems like all he accomplished is showing everyone that he’s a jerk.

We have had too many ignorant billionaires in the White House already- let's not have another.

this utterly epic disaster of a campaign roll-out!

He's going to wait 6 months before quietly announcing he won't be running, and by then everyone will have forgotten about him and it won't get much attention.

He will bow out quietly in the heat of summer and let the idea slip away into the sunset.

I don't think he had any idea the wrath that this vanity project would unleash.

Once he realizes his brand "starbucks" may be injured he will back out.

Let him go drink burned coffee with Nader.

group to provide support for progressive Democrat and Republican (nearly extinct) candidates.

that went on sale yesterday. That is all.

So common for egotists like Schultz and Trump, who think they're gods, to underestimate they're not the only power in the world.

Whomp, whomp

NO

Thank God!

even negatively impact any of the democratic races? I'd also say and I may be wrong here, but if he runs as an independent, I'd say his chances of pulling votes away from rump are just as likely as pulling votes against some democratic candidates, but if we have a strong democratic set of candidates, and there are lots of good people, I'm not worried.

We have strong and viable candidates. I am amazed at the quality and number of folks stepping up to the plate and putting themselves out there as possible candidates. Seems like one year, we couldn't think of anyone that would be a good counter to rump's running again for 2020.

We have an amazing united front for the most part ... even rump admitted this (the cohesiveness of the democratic party). We have many shepherds of the democratic party (Obama, Biden, many others) that can lend a strong and viable counter to rump and his excesses. And there is us, all of us...

Drop out, Mr. Schultz!

like we need a simultaneous case of hemorrhoids, crabs and the clap.

People need public service in their background before they run. City government is difficult enough to understand. Imagine navigating the intricacies of federal government without understanding something as simple as a second and third read of an ordinance or getting a bond issue.

If he wants to try to be president then he should get into politics at a lower level for a bit and then run as a democrat if that's where his politics fall. If this guy runs and manages to help get Trump reelected, then I will never drink another coffee from starbucks. Which totally would impact them because I'm certain I'm at least 80% of their business based on the number of SB receipts I have on the passenger seat of my car.

You know nothing! You hear nothing!
