"Don’t help elect Trump, you egotistical billionaire asshole. Go back to getting ratio-ed on Twitter."

getting off to a great start, Schultz. lol.

I presume McP was referencing this, but hey.

I worked at Starbucks at the time of whatever book he was releasing, and he provided a copy of his book to every employee. It was pretty clear that he wanted to run for public office.

Sure, he doesn't have much to offer, and Bloomberg is way better situated to run if that's the kind of candidate that could win, but now is as good a time as ever for this guy.

You naysayers are just haters. Think of how much money his consultants and campaign staff will make. His campaign is a jobs program, and little else.

For a bit of context: they started tracking primary numbers around the same time in January 2015. And the polling at that time looked like this:

Democratic Primary (Fox News Poll, 1/27/15):

Clinton - 55%
Sanders - 3%
O'Malley - 2%

GOP Primary (Fox News Poll, 1/27/15)

Bush - 15%
Huckabee - 13%
Paul - 13%
Carson - 10%
Christie - 6%
Rubio - 5%
Cruz - 4%
Santorum - 2%
Kasich - 2%
Trump - N/A

Wait, someone's seen Mitch at work?

It’s utterly amazing to me that the Republicans equate more people voting with them losing.

It’s utterly amazing to me that the Republicans equate more people voting with them losing.

And to say it so blatantly.

[Strat]

I support anyone that can get back my tax deductions.

It amazes me how little attention these open acknowledgements that there are specific voter populations the Republican Party prefers to see suppressed for personal gain get, amongst a media group that clutches pearls if a citizen confronts Mitch with words in a restaurant.

It’s also a component of a broader attitude that has drastically reduced their sphere of influence, but simultaneously becomes a tool for protecting what remains of their power structure.
