Finger on the pulse…

Schultz, a lifelong Democrat who recently registered as an independent, has said he would do nothing to help re-elect Trump. He has said that Democrats and Republicans are equally to blame for repelling voters at the center of the political spectrum, and he has argued that an independent candidacy like his could re-engage them.

Oh yeah, I forgot.

Kiss my ass.

“Schultz will commit to signing only legislation that has bipartisan support “

President Schultz will be renaming a whole lot of post offices during his time in office. I am so excited about his candidacy!

George Washington decried factions and parties too. How did that work out? It’s all so silly.

I never bought a ton of Starbucks, but since he started this nonsense, I’ve probably saved myself $50 by not buying anything there. Looks like I’ll continue saving money.

What part of “Hell No!” don’t you get?

[Well, I found a campaign button for him…

His campaign is really pointless, and for someone who wants to make sure Trump isn’t elected he sure seems to want to play the Jill Stein role in 2020.

And I’m sure all the Independent congresspeople will be happy to work with him, forming a coalition of…what, half dozen house members and 2 new england senators?

What is this guy sniffing.

It is time for an organized campaign to boycott Starbucks. Schultz only appears to care about himself, so make him feel the pain. When his stock falls, and very visually people let their dislike of him be known, he will give up this vanity project.

Awww. How cute. He thinks the Republicans are going to act in good faith and be bipartisan all of a sudden.

It’s important that we get everyone in a room together and find a sensible middle ground between Democrats who want affordable health care for everyone and Republicans who demand a white supremacist ethnostate.

Maybe Schultz can steal some republican votes…

Trump’s Cabinet has been plagued by regular turnover and scandal.

Thanks, AP. That’s a lovely example of the passive voice.

Trump’s cabinet secretaries were corrupt grifters and incompetent administrators who used the government system to benefit themselves. I like that better.

Well, so far his paid campaign staffers.

“…he would assemble a Cabinet that includes members from across the political spectrum and consists of a larger share of women than that of any previous president.”

Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina and Liz Cheney all look forward to his candidacy. The rest of us, not at all.
