He wants to, as an independent....the plan is the D's nominate someone too far left of the nation... then there is Trump.....we pick the only sane choice, Howard.

Twitter is pissed on the fear that Howard would split the Anti Trump vote and give Trump a chance of winning.

I think Howard would never do anything to jeopardize being adored at parties, and now that it has been explained to him that he is not to jeopardize the D candidate Thrashing Trump he will quickly dump this idea.
What Say U?
He might lay the groundwork then wait to see if Trump wins his primary. If Trump wins the Republican nomination I agree Howard would probably pass on running. If some other person beats Trump, say Romney then you might see Howard in the race.
He needs to pay greatly out of his own money maybe if the Elite are pissed at him to set up organizations in all of the states so that he can be on the ballot, these two treasonous parties of ours have made that very expensive/difficult...........once you have already spent a good chunk of your $3.4 BILLION nest egg you might as well go for it......your "put a toe in and see how it goes" plan is not realistic.
Laying the groundwork is not super expensive as Bernie was able to do it. He will know in late 2019 or early 2020 if there is a viable alternative to Trump on the Republican side. Plenty of time to jump in and spend a few hundred million. In addition if it isn't against Trump there will be Democrats like a Bloomberg,Buffett,Dimon as examples who could throw big bucks his way.
I betcha all them guys hate Trump to, and dont want to jeopardize his removal.

As a tried to say in the above post, they would support Howard if Trump is NOT the candidate.
The democrats are so lucky to have so many outstanding candidates each of whom is eminently more qualified than the rest in his or her own estimation.

I'm not very interested in a bored $billionaire running a vanity campaign myself. And I love the "centrist independent" label. It's beautiful. Everyone thinks of himself or herself as 'independent' - not part of the crowd, we independent thinkers think for ourselves! - and what's wrong with a centrist who simply looks for the best answer to a problem. Oh, billionaire centrist independent save us!
I guess he's got a book coming out, and maybe it will give us his ideas, but I'm not expecting much. I guess nothing changes till it changes, though, so who knows.
Clearly you dont know Howard, this is all about him stepping up and doing his part to save the world.
I can't tell if you're serious or not. If you are, I'll just say he's got a long way to go to convince me he's not just another self important $billionaire narcissist who somehow thinks what's missing in this sorry world of ours is his unique and awesome centrist independentism not tied to any party or movement, etc.......
What has this got to do with Howard and should he run for President?
Surely you have the tie, because otherwise this post would be spam.
I was worried this sort of thing was going to happen. In the end we are going to see a slew of CEO's, ex-CEO's, and other elites from Wall Street make a run at the Presidency on the assumption of appealing to the people as a business.
Right from the OP article... a quote by Howard Schultz himself... "When I hear people espousing free government-paid college, free government-paid health care, and a free government job for everyone — on top of a $21 trillion debt — the question is, how are we paying for all this and not bankrupting the country?"
Right off the bat we have an aged appeal to fiscal conservatism that never really existed anyway, but that tone matched with the rhetoric of "revenge politics" is also an appeal to Independents presumably with the hope of pulling of what Perot failed to do.
This is familiar territory just fast forwarded to what Trump did to this nation.
I offer... we are ****ing up. Independents need a real independent, not a CEO with a political plan complaining about political plans.

Ya OK but then let me ask you this.....this society does a crap job of developing leaders, we have long known this and long not cared....The military does it though not as well as I would like, I have lots of beefs with the last many decades of officers........we need real leaders now......where do you intend to find them?
Maybe CEO and Military Man are your only choices.
Good men are made by the transformational power of God. Bad actors are those who never get help from God to overcome the inherited sin and deception which drives them to think and do what is bad.

The elite, you guys make me laugh with that word. Trump lives in a tower, where do you live? Trump flies around in a plane with his name on it, do you own a plane? Trump has gold dripping from his toilets, how about you? Trump claims to be very rich, an elite. He's so elite he called the white house a dump. Now, what were you saying about the elites?
