Heh. Is this a great country or what?
Lots and lots of entertainment value here.
As I said, it is not about whether Schultz has even a remote chance of winning. It is about watching the dems sweat, get twitchy, and break-up into a civil war and generally descend into chaos. Even the regular dem party has a civil war going on between the progressives and the biden regular libs and then both of those factions are at war with total breakaways such as Shultz. It's a beautiful thing.
Howard aint headed anywhere long term and neither is Tulsi Gabbard, but the dems know that they are going to put their fingers on some of their weak spots before they go.
Who is the woman here in this picture which is a protest at one of Shultz's book tour stops?
Oh, that's right. She is the chair of the Washington State Dem Party. You can't make this shiite up. Lot's of fun.
I love the movement of billionaires coming out and talking about running for President to speak and act for the common man/average American. Nice ego/hubris...
Schultz just released his own internal polling showing his being in the race makes it a dead heat between Harris/Sanders and Trump.
In a lot of ways he is the poster child for a 70% tax AND a wealth tax combined.
Yup, he started with nothing and ended out with a couple billion.
No room for anyone like that in the dem party. At one time, that was the dream of the common, average working person in America- at least in that direction.
But not to worry. the dems have snuffed out that dream and replaced it with a dream that the man will give you more free stuff on the Dem Plantation.
WTF are you talking about..... a billionaire businessman has no place in the White House period regardless of the party. What does Bloomberg, Trump, Schultz have that makes them a good candidate? You think because they started from nothing they have this magical space in their heart to solve the world's problems.
You feel GOP and Dems and U.S. interests are served by having a billionaire businessman take over the White House?

Calm down just a little bit Sparky. Seems to be a lot of hysteria on the left these days.
My radical, radical, radical view is that people can go out and campaign and let the voters decide who they want. I extend that view toward Trump running, Tulsi, Shultz, Bernie, AOC, Biden, whatever.
I dont think that being a billionaire gives anyone a "magical space". That is something you pulled out of your arse rather than anything I said. I do not however think that it is a disqualifier right out of the gate nor do I presume that they are not able to speak to common Americans and the American experience from the ground level up. Some can, some can't. I don't subscribe to the view that being a lawyer and a political hack are the only routes to the White House and if you are not one of those, you have nothing to say. Some do, some don't. Let the voters work it out. I am not pre-screening anyone as the twitchy dems are. I have views about all of them but am not discouraging anyone from running.

You should really take Bloomberg out of that trio. Bloomberg has worked on public policy before and has been an elected official.
Trump is pretty much the poster boy for why the government should not be run by people with no public sector experience.
And I’m sure this will offend a lot of righties who worship the Uber wealthy and believe that jobs and prosperity are magic dust that trickles down from Wall Street but there is incredible differences between public and private management. The private sector does not prepare you for the public sector.
THis is exactly the bullshit I am talking about, you are presuming my political leanings in your comments back to me. Your comment through some libtard reference to my comment. You don't know my political leanings so you assume and that is why your comment is off base.
Just because I criticize a millionaire does not make me a lefty. I deal with plenty of wealthy people that are assholes as well as nice and neither party has the monopoly on them.
