Wait, who are we all kidding. No one likes Schultz, he won't make it through primary season.

With the exception of certain issues like gay rights and environmental protection, the national Democratic Party has been pretty centrist for decades. Even those of us who thought that many of Tricky Dick Nixons social and economic policies werent all that bad have spurned Club Pachyderm and have joined Team Donkey. The centrists Schultz is looking for are Reaganite-lite, a crowd that was proved to be few on the ground in the 2016 elections.
