Grande, venti, I always am amused they use such names, as opposed to small, medium, large.
“Today he’s remembered, if he’s remembered at all, as the man who probably cost George H.W. Bush a second term”
God, what a tragedy. /s
If the Democratic plan is to bring Harris onto the scene, or Warren...then Schultz has a fairly decent chance of taking 50-percent of Democratic votes. Just suggesting Bernie might run as an independent or some national socialist party....might take 20-percent of Democratic voters. But I don’t see where the platform of positions for Schult would attract that many GOP voters. Once you suggest more gun-control....95-percent of Republican voters will walk away from the guy.
Everyone loves to blame Perot. I think Bush breaking his unequivocal “read my lips”, no new tax promise, his and Cheney’s destroying hundreds of Navy careers over tailhook, and his assault rifle ban also had something to do with it.
Bush sicked and as time has passed, and now we know about his Mena dope operation, I’m glad he lost.
I hate both parties fairly equally, so at this point I'm just in it for the chaos. I just wanna watch everybody get #triggered. Schultz has the potential to piss off a lot of snowflakes on both sides, so I say good for him. Plus, all the coffee puns will wear out their welcome quickly, which will annoy even more people. Tee-hee!Hard to disagree with that.
If Perot had not run his voters would have needed to split 2/3 for Bush I for im to beat Clinton.
I am actually not sure what effect Schultz would have as an independent candidate.
First off: I doubt this even lasts through the summer of 2019. Schultz may be the CEO of a famous company, but he has nothing like the name recognition of a Donald Trump, or even a Forbes or Bloomberg. 99% of Americans have no idea who Schultz is, and unless he spends a ton of money over the next year, they never will. And if he is even moderately successful, the Democrats and their media tools will bury him. They just need to find one former employee to claim sexual harassment, and if they can’t find one, they’ll invent one. He is not scandal-proof like Trump.
But lets forget all that and assume he does run a viable campaign. Does he have a chance of winning? I agree with the author: No. He won’t even win one state. From whom would he take more votes? I have no idea. Trump is unpopular with a majority of the electorate, and a large number of moderates and swing voters would prefer to vote for someone else. But, the way the Democrat field is shaping up so far, the Democrats are poised to nominate the most radical major party candidate since William Jennings Bryan. Moderates aren’t going to want to vote for a Marxist.
I think any viable moderate third-party candidate would potentially swallow up a lot of swing voters, and the winner would be the major party candidate who can turn out more of his or her base in enough swing states to win.
But please enjoy your beverage and the R&D puppet show! No actors were incarcerated during or after their time on stage.
The Dems wouldn’t have this problem if every one of their early candidates except old, slow Joe, wasn’t part of their insane clown posse.
why aren’t they saying the same about unqualified anchor baby Harris? she’s just stealing support, too.
I’m worried that professional opinionist Michelle Goldberg will need to learn to code. /sarc
