Run Howard! Run!!

Another bored billionaire aiming to screw us all!

Don’t do it Schultz

Ok, here we go with another cock blocker. Get out of the way of democracy man. What the hell does he know about people's pain and suffering? JUST GO AWAY MAN!

NO NO NO NO NO PLEASE JUST MAKE YOUR BAD COFFEE SIR....

INDEPENDENTS HAVE NO CHANCE. EVER. THEY ONLY HELP/HURT THE DEM & REP CANDIDATE

Translation: rich white male seeks to split democratic voters to ensure republican victory.

Howard .... Your a great guy but please let KamalaHarris ewarren take the lead. This is no time to split the vote!

What's with this unwarranted belief by so many business CEOs that if you ran your own business, you'd be great at being president of the US? Having control over your own company in no way prepares you for our checks & balances system of government.

The last thing this country needs is another businessman without government experience running the government. I get the desire for anti-political establishment, but the presidency already has a steep learning curve. Experience it on a smaller scale first, Mr. Schultz. Governor?

No. We do NOT need another uber rich business guy.

No more old white guys

But he refuses to give a clue as to why hes running, 'What can U do for America?' It cant be secret. HARD PASS.

HowardSchultz Starbucks don't! Please. No one knows you and we don't need another amateur politician. Don't split the vote unless the Russians are bribing you, too?

We’re not going to have a Starbucks dude as President. Stop it.

LindaKWS1 Oh, for God's sake, stop the damn drama. Democratic 'worries' are NOT rising because Schultz is 'interested' in a presidential run. This kind of comment is the problem with you all trying to stir things up. JUST. STOP!

People need to understand that any candidate needs to run on a platform that is more than “vote for me, I’m not Trump”. That’s not enough. Run on your platform & beat any other candidate who runs. Schultz has the right to run if he thinks he’s best for the job and sell his case.

Howard, if you're running, run as a centrist Democrat. We can't lose votes for nothing or we're going to have 4 more years with that idiot, sexist bigot. Oh, & 4 more years with the guy who's really calling the shots...Mr. Putin

Odd how democrats are always complaining about how democracy is sacred and under threat, yet when an independent candidate wants to run for President, well, that’s a threat to democracy too.

No

Anyone saying he’ll help Trump has a lot of reading to do. Schultz can win. If he doesn’t, the split will be relatively even (but he will be blamed for spoiling the election anyhow)

This will be Stein 2020.

Because America really needs another corporate billionaire to try running a government for the first time.

Fuck no..

Shultzzie never heard of him.

he's just advertising for Starbucks, that's all.

(sound of tens of thousands of teenage girls screaming like it's the Beatles at Shea Stadium)

I’m not worried. DownWithTheOligarchs

Yesterday’s ratio points to a NO. 😳

AMERICA TODAY: For the good of the country, we can’t possibly have a viable independent candidate run for President. AMERICA ON NOV. 3, 2020: We’ve got to undo the 2-party stranglehold on our politics.

I’m waiting for Howard Schultz to proudly proclaim that he’ll run America like a coffee shop.

WOW! I have to believe he would withdraw his candidacy before he would become a spoiler for the DNC candidate.

Be concerned about addressing the issues people face. Not another rich guy's vanity project

Did we not learn anything last time?

Great - another egotistical billionaire.

Please no!

i guess he is occupying the centrist garbage no-policy position the democrats wanted to offer so they could lose again to trump

Better save your money....
