"SNIP....

Daily Beast: “When former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz first declared that he was entertaining the idea of running for president, he was ubiquitous on the political scene, sitting for interviews with major outlets, appearing at buzzy conferences, and making various stops for a book tour across the country in which he’d persistently tease his White House ambitions.”

“But in the past two weeks, Schultz has largely disappeared, leaving the impression that the presidential campaign he was flirting with won’t actually come to fruition.”

.....SNIP"

1. He's switching over to Sanka now

n/t

[The Genealogist]

6. Sanka might even be more disgusting than his company's cofee

Close anyway.

[asiliveandbreathe]

2. A shout to Steve Schmidt - who the hell is going to hire him now.....

[renate]

4. I'm sad about that... I mean, he made his own bed and he's got to lie in it, so no pity, but

... I've really missed his anti-Trump rants. He was hilarious.

Maybe after a decent interval Nicolle will have him back on.

[asiliveandbreathe]

7. Yes, it is sad, and yes, he did it to himself..and NO I really have no faith in someone who

speaks out of both sides of his mouth...if he cannot support a Democratic candidate..I really don't have any faith in anything he has to say - he did lead on anti-pos..but has lost my trust.....

As no longer a Pollyanna, I will trust you, when you prove I can.....

[shanny]

12. Probably some No Labels asshat.

By their advisors shall you know them.

[asiliveandbreathe]

14. Yes...you are who you surround yourself with.....n/t

[UTUSN]

3. Good.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. ...and a sad barista calls out his name-- "Shultz? Shultz?"

[Funtatlaguy]

8. It was just a latte nonsense.

[DBoon]

9. The campaign prop on Game of Thrones didn't help

[ploppy]

10. He's busy

binge watching GOT.

[Goodheart]

11. I haven't been to Starbucks since he made his announcement.

[shanny]

13. Maybe he feels his "lane" is taken.

[Jose Garcia]

20. Anyone enter his lane in the last week or so?

[rurallib]

15. and the country paid no attention

[struggle4progress]

16. His slogan "The majority of Americans are Americans" showed such promise!

Everyone was breathlessly waiting to see if he had comparable insights about the Russians or North Koreans!

Covfefe Venti, Mr Schultz! Covfefe Venti!

[Gothmog]

17. Good

If this idiot ran, he would help re-elect trump

[maxsolomon]

18. He got some polling and discovered what everyone already knew

1. No one likes him, even in Seattle.
2. There is no more center.

[JI7]

19. Who ?

[DeminPennswoods]

21. At least Schmidt and Burton

made a little extra money.

[Vogon_Glory]

22. At the risk of offending DU's non-believers

I hope that G*d or SOMEBODY inspires him to step away from running as a third-party candidate next year. The US cannot afford four more years of Trump and the current crop of Republicans if we wish to remain a free country.
