    A moderate Democrat is still a leftist.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    Well, so much for his candidacy. He can't handle a bit of criticism. Having a thin skin is always a trait we need in a president.

    https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019...resident-thing

    Fox Business’s Charlie Gasparino and Lydia Moynihanreport that the man who made Pumpkin Spice Lattes a thing was “shocked by the stridency of the attacks made by Democrats” and is now said to be “looking more closely at whether he wants to go through with the effort.” While Schultz reportedly “expected some carping,” he somehow didn’t anticipate the “intense nature of the criticism.”

    CNN is pushing for him.

    In the fall of 2016 Hillary Clinton called on Americans to unite behind her and defeat Donald Trump. It did not work. Similarly, in 1972 George McGovern asked Americans to come together and defeat Richard Nixon. That did not work either.


    Democrats have a terrible record of winning the presidency when they define their mission as defeating a hated adversary and expect voters to fall in line.

    The tidal wave of criticism that followed Howard Schultz's recent flirtation with an independent run for the presidency repeats this terrible mistake. Many Democrats fear he will split the strong anti-Trump vote that was evident in the 2018 midterm elections, allowing Trump to get elected again as a minority president in 2020.
