'I feel bad for him at this point': Democrats starting to dismiss Schultz

Democratic National Committee members said their fears are eased by what they've seen so far from the billionaire coffee magnate.

Here's how poorly Howard Schultz’s presidential campaign float is going: Democrats who initially reacted with terror that his potential independent bid for president might hand Donald Trump a second term are starting to shrug him off.

While Schultz appeared at a book event in Washington on Thursday, Democratic National Committee members gathered blocks away met the former Starbucks chief executive with a yawn.

“People are not going to waste their vote on that,” said Jaime Harrison, associate chair of the DNC and a former South Carolina state party chair.

Interviews with more than a dozen party officials, activists and operatives at the DNC’s winter meeting depicted a Democratic Party markedly less concerned about Schultz after two weeks of awkward public appearances and critical press surrounding the billionaire. Several Democratic consultants who have watched Schultz’s rollout, including his CNN town hall this week, also told POLITICO they see a diminished danger.

“I feel bad for him at this point,” said Tina Podlodowski, the state Democratic Party chairwoman in Schultz’s home state of Washington.

1. That is the best way to handle him.

Now if we could pay less attention to Trump and just shrug him off to make him feel like the crazy uncle, that might have some effect.
The only problem that is that this crazy uncle has a gun and he's ALWAYS in your face.
