Ever notice these individuals are never willing to go for the water board, or the school board, or city council, or town alderman, or county supervisor?

Not even for their state legislature?

What's the old line - "start in the mailroom and work your way up"? We don't need any more amatuers in public office, as has been demonstrated by the marmalade mussolini ... and this yahoo doesn't see what a ridiculous lack of self-awareness he demonstrates?

None of these "campaign for office as a vanity project" are ever willing to start small, and "learn the business," so to speak.

Plus, he's yet another rich man who says all the right things about supporting veterans, and yet never managed to drag his ass down to the recruiting office, even for a single term of service in the Reserves or Guard...

Shocking, I know.

It’s too bad... Steve Schmidt is one of my favorite people to listen to. He’s so funny and dry and hilarious. And I understand that the man who brought us Sarah Pallin might not have had a ton of options if no Republicans were going to primary Trump or Pence. But damn, this Starbucks guy is turning out to be unpopular.

So the left can’t tax his billions. Either he wants to win or let republicans to save his $$$.

Nothing he has said is to help people, cutting what little people get on SS. Like to see him live on that. Supposedly his book talks about how he was raised getting help and now he wants to make that worse because we can’t afford it.

He is awful worse than Nader if possible.
