Pretty much.

wow - I've never seen the mainstream media do that before..

what could possibly go wrong??

In 1992 Ross Perot was already widely known, and was able to leverage that in his campaign.

Nobody outside of Seattle knows who this dude this. Zero point zero chance of disrupting anything.

That said, he needs to sit down and STFU already.

He’s getting invited on all the shows and the media is elevating his brand. I’m optimistic after this Trump shit show America has wised up a bit and won’t elect another unqualified bozo. (Knock on wood)

you have a lot more faith in the average American than I do.

We're all getting Starbucks for life and Mexico is gonna pay for it.

Count me in. Where do I sign? I'm dumb enough to believe it.

I actually don't. I'm the one that started the chicken little threads freaking out that Oprah or Michael Avenatti could get it. Seems like the dems are poised to get power again but who knows what will happen the next go around when the pendulum is ready to shift back to the right.

Ha

I always enjoy the hubris of the established parties to an outsider attempting to circumvent them. They act as if they are entitled to the votes of anyone who supports a 3rd party.

Everyone who supported Bernie knows just what you’re talking about.

That said, what we precisely don’t need right now is another rich dude claiming he has the best interests of average Americans in mind.

FTFY. Dude is a Democrat. He’s also an entitled asshole who is probably surrounded by yes men telling him it’s a good idea to try to circumvent the primary.

There’s no real reason why anyone should support some rich dipshit trying to use his money to skip the process. But here we are. In 2019. With a lot of dipshits. And a lot of oligarchs who manipulate the dipshits like a marionette.

These fuckers are getting all wound up real Dems might actually reverse Reagan's shitty "supply side" tax cuts for rich people.

Rich white males are gonna act like rich white males.

Can't believe this guy is still in the headlines. As a white guy I think it's taken me a while to be able to comfortably spot white privilege but I'd say when a rich guy with zero qualifications is dominating the news that's probably white privilege. I'd say if he's serious about getting into politics do what AOC did start out as a rep and get some experience first.

Schultz own polling shows he helps Trump won a 2nd term.

That might be the point. Schultz worked the numbers on his $3.5B fortune. He doesn’t want to take heat for endorsing Trump or donating to Trump but 6 more years of Trump led GOP saves him a lot more than the $200M he would spend running “against” Trump.
