It takes a lot of gall for a billionaire to run for President as a Democrat and...

Automatic disqualifier, in my opinion.

These people have no shame.

He is talking about Howard Schultz. He is exploring a run as an INDEPENDENT not a Democrat.

I had to look it up, emulatorloo. I had no clue who they were talking about either.

Ex Ceo of Starbucks. Howard Schultz. He is exploring a bid and is looking to run as an INDEPENDENT not a DEMOCRAT.
