Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is exploring running for president as an independent candidate, two people familiar with his thinking tell CNN

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

He should.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not let’s have Mr Whippy! anyone surely will be better than Trump

Enough with business and entertainment folks leapfrogging to the Presidency. Get non-business related governing experience at a local, state or Congressional level first. They may have ideas which I agree with but running for President with no governing experience seems arrogant.

Hey he failed as CEO of Starbucks maybe he can become president instead

Run, Howard, Run!

A vanity campaign.

Do not split the Democrats vote

Yeah no

That's stupid HowardSchultz. Can't pull another 2016 Johnson right now. Scattering the Votes surely contributed to where we are right now. Please somebody tell him to stop it!

Thanks for the offer but I think we're done with business tycoons with no political experience. Vote2020 ShutdownTrump

oh, Howard.. Thanks to you for all.. I vote self for you.

I definitely think Howard Schultz should run for president. He could promise free bathrooms for all!

Independent. 😆😆😆 Howard Schultz 😆😆😆😆😆 President 😆😆😆

Another option

No thanks

He bought the Seattle Supersonics, a very successful NBA team with a great fan base. He couldn’t make it work, sold the team and they moved to Oklahoma City. No thanks Howard!

Bring ot

Make Starbucks Great Again 😀

Nope. No more amateurs. No businessmen, even actual successful ones. I want a politician for president--one who has learned how government works by participating in it at all levels.

That would be a Godsend for Trump

Schultz is exploring whether to ensure Trump’s re-election.

I love this CNN phrase people familiar with his thinking. Are they mindreaders.

Tell him.....don't waste his time or money.........TRUMP 2020 !!!!!!!!!

Please don’t.

Because we have all seen how running the government as a business has turned out so well, right?

Third party candidates insure a Republican president in 2020. (see Jill Stein)

Need more moderate candidates that can unify us and our very wide gap in politics. Everything is either ultra conservative or the new age progressive. Allow the election to bring other options to center stage. Of course it won't happen because it's all corrupt. On both sides.

Absolutely Not!

Nope. Don’t do that. He’ll most likely help the Republican win. Please learn from the mistakes.

NO... not again.

If anyone is an expert at short-changing people...

No

Another 1% man automatically thinking he should run for president right out of the gate. Why not run for city council or school board where they could build a constituency and actually learn something?

Net worth via Forbes: 2.8B I know he came from poverty but that was long ago. No billionaires for me, thanks.

The leftist clown bus is getting crowded

If only there was a way we knew if a businessman in politics was a horrible idea...

I’m not sure a LATTE people would vote for him. 😉

He needs to cut back on his coffee.😄😄😄😄😄

Good.. split the dem ticket

Which is nearly impossible to do and no thank u

He will be spilling the beans for sure !!🤣🤣

Don't.

Waste of time and money. But if you take away Democrat votes, it’s all good.

bring back our sonics Howard or gtfo

Please do. We’re counting on you keeping your word.

I dont want any more businessmen or celebrities. Trump is both (however loosely we use those terms) and he is so thoroughly a fuck up that i never want another one even close to the white house.

Do not bother...

Righttt... Because he can relate to the average cup of joe.

Great!!! That means he'd split the Democrat vote since he is a left wing nut and won't be able to hide that in an independent cloak.

'familiar w/ his thinking'? I don't believe in mind readers

independently democrat.

When asked about his chances, Schultz said “I’m not worried. I’m used to Tall Orders.” *Yeeeeaaaahhh*

SystemicSarcasm

Waste of time.

Howard can I be your running mate ?

Please run HowardSchultz ! Just remember to ask DrJillStein how to work with Russia to siphon votes from the Dems and help me WIN AGAIN! 2020

No thanks.

I'd say Shultz, Bloomberg, Garvin Newsom, brianschatz and Rose Marcario should all run.

As Starbucks has a drug use problem in their bathrooms.

All of this talk of 3rd parties and independent candidates spells out one thing to me. If they continue this path, Donald Trump will be reelected in 2020 if he isn't already disgraced and run out of town.

yet another non-story from CNN. can't you find some real news to report?

No White Men Allowed Sorry

BECAUSE THE LAST TIME A CEO RAN FOR PRESIDENT IT WORKED OUT GREAT FOR US..........

My advice to him would be not to waste too much time exploring this idea.

Do it.

most people can't afford Starbucks

haha...great name recognition....he's a nobody

Enough with business people thinking they can be president without government experience.

....No....

PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS

Go ahead. Obviously I don't want him in the WH, but anyone who wants to run as an independent has got the thumbs up from me.

This is real stuck....

FBI corruption probe of City Hall kicks Mayor Garcetti right in the presidential ambitionsOn top of L.A.'s homelessness crisis, traffic congestion, entrenched poverty and what may soon be the country’s biggest teachers’ strike, the FBI's corruption investigation into City Hall doesn't look great for Eric Garcetti. opinion I'm glad Eric is realizing karmic turnabout. Los Angeles has suffered his incompetence since he was a shady councilman. His achievements: The empty Target building on Sunset; the evictions at Sunset/Gordon apts; numerous high-rises on known fault lines; major traffic congestion. opinion Garcetti is a trash mayor who gets booed by his own city for his aggressive incompetence. OF COURSE he'd end up embroiled in an FBI probe for corruption. His trajectory is straight into the dumpster.

Trump 'a clear and present danger': former DOJ counterintel chief'It’s a painful, anguishing thing to acknowledge, that the President of the United States is a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States.” - David Laufman, fmr. chief of DOJ's counterintelligence and export control section Why not just call him what he is? An asset working for Russia. We can all see it. Bloody legals though, innit. it's clear that Obama fbi leaked to the media as they tried to do a coup on Trump using the fake dossier. It's clear that Obama had all 6 agencies going after Trump to stop him from running for president. We now have fbi investigated for the leaks and Comey was the worst
