Howard Schultz to be featured at CNN town hall in Texas next week

[demmiblue]

CNN will host a town hall with former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz next week in Texas as the businessman mulls a potential White House bid.

Schultz, who last month began publicly considering running for president as a "centrist independent," will take questions from voters "representing civic and educational organizations" at the Feb. 12 event in Houston, CNN announced Wednesday.

The live event will be moderated by "CNN Newsroom" anchor Poppy Harlow.

Schultz has been the focus of Democratic ire since he announced late last month that he was considering an independent presidential bid.

Why? He has no following whatsoever. No one is interested in him being President, both on the left or on the right.

1. Nope, not interested at all. This is all about ego.

[Bleacher Creature]

2. He has no support, no experience, no platform, and no constituency.

But he's a billionaire, so let's give him a prime time slot.

Hasn't CNN learned a thing from 2016???

3. Add to the list of many reasons I hate CNN... they'll do anything to sabotage the Democratic Party.

4. Schultz is polling at 4 percent. #TrumpsTaxScam should be the town hall, taxpayers are pissed.

5. WTF CNN?

6. Is he the new Jill Stein?

7. Ugh! I wish he would just go away.

Shoo, Howard. NOBODY is going to vote for you. It's over before you have even begun.

8. That's fine....let the people hear him and he can lull them to sleep. Better he's out there now so

he can fizzle out...which he will do. Besides, doesn't sound like he's angling for Democratic voters.

9. Boy CNN must think that Howie will give them the BIG BUCKS

by giving him "free" airtime.


Gee I wonder how many Texans will want to waste their evening with MrCoffee
