Starbucks Guy for President Looks to be a Huge Fail Already

hopefully it will stop other wealthy assholes who never held any public office from thinking they could run for president without any other experience.

at least bloomberg was mayor of a major city so even though i would not support him and i think he would have little chance i can understand if he wants to run for president.

the media needs to stop propping up wealthy business men (and it is usually men) who have never held any elected office before as serious presidential candidates.

they should run for lower office first.

i feel like one of the reasons these guys think of running is also just because they are bored and want something to do.

Although I don’t think Schultz is very liberal. Maybe he should run on the Libertarian Party ticket.

Schultz should realize that he isn't qualified for the office.

The whole "small did you say? - here's a tall!" lingo scam overcharged zillions of customers who wanted a small cup of coffee but got and paid for a medium. You can't just reinvent language so that unsuspecting customers are overcharged.

Schultz is a not to be trusted.
