We'll have to see what Coop says he'll do. However, a lot of people like Coop ended up voting for Trump in the end last time because they just couldn't come to voting for the democrat. Trumps margin of victor was razor thin, something like 10 or 20 thousand votes in a few states that gave him the EC.

I don't think a 3rd party candidate is going to make a difference really. Democrats though are going to be much more worried about a 3rd party candidate to the left than one from the middle.

I voted for the Hildabeast, but I live in WV. The Starbucks dude's platform intrigues me, but I agree with you on how much difference a 3rd party will make in this election.

And LOL at Trumpers already hoping for a split opposition to eek out a win!

Coop is in the mold of Bill Kristol. Although I think Kristol took his hate level a tad too far and had his business shut down.

Centrists would be his constituency, but centrests are by and large also pragmatists. They arent the types to vote for 3rd party candidates that often.

I don't know many "centrists" that are for debt reduction and fixing entitlements. I still think of those people as conservatives, MUCH different than Trumpers and their conTrumperism. Not many of us around though.

Debt reduction is a "fiscally conservative" thought. I'm also in favor but I'm no conservative. I think all want entitlements to be "fixed". Conservatives want to eliminate entitlements. I do not agree but I most certainly don't like to see stupid waste. But all governmental programs will have some waste. Similar to business. Having 100% efficiency is practically impossible so whining improperly about waste is nothing but spin using a half truth and is nothing more than political games trying to influence the ignorant masses.

Howard Schultz doesn’t have the “guts” to run for President! Watched him on @60Minutes last night and I agree with him that he is not the “smartest person.” Besides, America already has that! I only hope that Starbucks is still paying me their rent in Trump Tower!

What an asshat Trump is. Not enough bad things can happen to Trump.

It literally sickens me to see any president make a statement about making money outside of the job of presidency. I wish our constitution was stronger in this area. Emolument clause is obviously not strong enough for unethical individuals that just simply ignore it coupled with a Congress too chicken to do something about it.

Starbucks guy off to a real hot start: Asked if he'd raise taxes on corporations as president, Howard Schultz says: "I don't want to talk in the hypothetical about what I would do if I was president.".
