Billionaire businessman Schultz aims to oust Trump in 2020
[DAWN] Billionaire former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said in a TV interview that he is looking into running against Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
in 2020 as an independent presidential candidate.

"I am seriously thinking of running for president," Schultz told the CBS news show "60 Minutes" late Sunday.

The self-described "lifelong Democrat" said he "will run as a centrist independent outside of the two-party system."
If that’s how he feels about it, why was he a lifelong Democrat?
According to Schultz, 65, "We're living at a most fragile time." Not only is Trump "not qualified to be the president," but Republicans and Democrats "are consistently not doing what's necessary on behalf of the American people and are engaged, every single day, in Dire Revenge politics."

#3 Schultz will go from Leftist hero to liberal media zero very soon. He is going to be treated like a republican as the left thinks his independent run will re-elect Trump.

#4 If anyone discovers a Schultz presidential run web site and contributions link, please share. I'd be delighted to offer a small financial wedge.

#6 Day late, dollar short figuring out centralist have been driven out of the Socialist Party USA? As RINOs they've been infecting the Trunks for quit a while. Here's an idea, take the name Liberal Party(tm), maybe rehab the name so the neo-commies can't use it to confuse people.

#8 The problem with the Dems is that they don't have a viable candidate who connects with the American people. There are no "America First" candidates; candidates who are trying to build up the country rather than tear it down. Most are viewed as commies trying to tear down the country.

#10 Trump won, he's a billionaire... I'm a billionaire....

Cheaper and easier to buy a shredder and pay someone to throw your money into it.

#11 Yep. He would gain most of his votes from the left of center crowd.

If he does throw his hat in the ring, expect the full demoncratic-media complex to go into full destroy mode.

#12 His plan is to split the Republican vote so Kamala Harris can win.

#13 See how the lefties have gotten out in front of it already by threatening to boycott Starbucks. They will rally around Harris and the trunks will split.

Dunno about about all y'all, but that there is Snark of the Day material IMHO. Now we just need to find a picture to go with the caption.
