'If I ran as a Democrat, I would have to say things that I know in my heart I do not believe, and I would have to be disingenuous,' former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said of his potential 2020 presidential candidacy.

If the democrats move any further left the will BE China and so will we.

Look forward to star-bucking the dems trend

Do it!

No not true. You can say what you believe. And if voters like it they will elect you. That’s the way it works. No need to be stupid and run as a independent

Because he’s always been so forthright and honorable in his public work in Seattle. SaveOurSonics SuperSonics PublicTrust

A platform of protecting billionaires and cutting medicare... such a yutz. Until this horror show is over im on team SkipStarbucks

Like what?

It’s strange that Dems think he’ll split the Dem votes. He might split the Rep votes.

Whether he is right or wrong, he has a point that should be weighed. If he runs, he might make us more open minded and more aware, relative to where we are today. He and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should run together.

Well, that is honest ... and refreshing.

Yes we have and it is to you to be a leading DEMOCRAT to take us back to the middle where most of us seem to hang out now.

He is a Russian agent. Think about it. Interference in our election

Yeah...and if i run as an independent Benedict Donald gets four more years. Wake up and smell the Starbucks.

Whats the price of cereal

Is like donald trump is one side of the coin, and this guy Howard Schultz is the other side Liars, fake They don’t care about the regular American People. There is no free health care, is pay by the workers, taxpayers Same as the government employees. They all have health care

Well that statement shows a lack of confidence in his ideas. Say what you believe in a Dem primary. You might find, that while everyone else is saying the samething and splitting the vote you come out on top as unique. HowardSchultz

Right, you would have to acknowledge you are a Lemming voting for what you do not believe. A bias liberal no idea Dumbocrat follower, not a leader.

.HowardSchultz already proving to be disingenuous. No hope of winning, but willing to disrupt 2020 Election to re-elect Trump. Has no new solutions to problems this country faces. Campaign slogan is, “Vote for Schultz... Knows how to make coffee”. AshaRangappa_ sam_vinograd

Run Howard Run

I think you have to say you won’t wear blackface or a hood when running.

Dems used to love redistribution....until it was redistribution of votes.

Our family presently lives in Virginia and we are shocked and disheartened by our Gov. This is YOUR time!!! Please run!

Here’s an idea, don’t fucking run.

He is a traditional Democrat, has the best chance of defeating Trump, but Dems will try to destroy him. They have no chance of unseating Trump, if that is their true goal, they need to step aside and help Schultz.

The lefts response, ‘yea yea yea, but I want my free stuff’.

This is such bull crap 💩 Howard, the Democratic Party is multi-dimensional with leftish, centrist and few rightist. You just want to take the easy way and use your money to buy the election. My Starbucks investment this year is doing quite well, no thanks to you.

Then run as a Republican rich boy! Fed up with billionaires thinking they can be politicians just because they can fund their own research & campaign. None understand how government works & think they can port business practices to politics. Look at Trump the fraud!

RooksLeAnne A man who speaks his own mind and dismisses crazy liberal ideology. No place for you on a Dem ticket. You have disqualified yourself on at least two counts.

Our solution is to keep printing money until things blow up some time in the future which I will no longer in the office. Then let’s start the blame game.

He’s far too smart for Democrats. If everything isn’t about race or fairness, Democrats aren’t interested.

He has zero government experience. Only money

Curious If Dem's will make him sign a contract, like Trump did? Independent

Disingenuous is a great name for a deep roasted coffee.

He wouldn’t have to.

GO AWAY!

The Inclusive Democratic party is afraid of you simply because you make too much sense. Please run it will be so much fun to watch.

Hahaha dnc

More Americans are in the middle .. the Democratic Party is now the party of high taxes, anti-semitism, hatred of ideas that are not their own, socialism, communism, and ruin our Heath insurance.

This guy has no political awareness, why run now as an independent instead of 2016 or 2024? Second term races are completely different

HowardSchultz then challenge realDonaldTrump as a “centurist” republican-since it IS about Taxes &preserving wealth for you...if that works and you win the nomination, fine..if not, at least you dont help Trump by splitting votes..which you will...SteveSchmidtSES you KNOW that

Great, run as a Republican then.

Please run!!
