Howard Schultz may have been a lifelong Democrat because of social issues and because Democrats always have a more successful economy (capital and investment markets do better, stable economy, more widespread general prosperity, better employment levels, good for consumer-oriented businesses like his).
But now we see the real Howard Schultz.
First and foremost, he is a billionaire corporatist. He opposes universal public health care (he has his!). He opposes tax reform that gives TAX RELIEF TO THE MIDDLE CLASS and working people and requires billionaires like himself to pay their fair share that they have avoided for 40 years.
So he would rather make a move that would keep Trump and Putin in charge of total political chaos in the destruction of the United States as long as he protects his own personal billions.
Billionaire Schultz wants Trump (and his corporate welfare and giveaways to rich people like him) to stay in office, but he doesn’t want to admit it. So he will take steps to ensure that Trump wins while pretending to oppose Trump. “No, I’m not enabling Trump; I’m opposing him.” (wink, wink)
I don’t know who it was, but a political cartoon from a week or so ago showed a donkey and an elephant and Schultz. I think it was the donkey who said, “And the guy who invented $9 coffee is going to teach us about financial responsibility?”
Other than that, I’m with DDWiz on this one. The only affect Schultz could have on the election would be to re-elect 45! In other words, the worst possible outcome.
What I find interesting about DDWiz ’ comment is that he projects a Trumpian philosophy onto Schultzmasquerading as a progressive.
DD is wordy, long-winded, often offensive in his choice of words, but dag nab, I think he’s on to something!

And it’s still lousy, overpriced coffee. But that’s just me.

I have enjoyed this lively political discourse. And the comic.

If Schultz was to match Trump 40% of the vote then I would vote for him.

How ironic considering the statistics suggest around half these comments are typed on a laptop at a Starbucks

If the coffee was bad they would be a failure. But then they don’t offer coffee. Anyone can do that.
