Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is seriously considering a presidential run. It has earned him the ire of the entire political Left. They hate him. I mean the vitriol against Schultz is just as intense as the hate that’s directed at President Trump by the same crowd. Schultz is also on a book tour, and the Left’s hatred toward his potential presidential plans spilled out, where one heckler called him a billionaire egotistical a-hole, who is going to help re-elect Trump (via ABC News):
As Schultz began to speak at the event, he was interrupted by a heckler who was escorted out by security
"Don’t help elect Trump, you egotistical billionaire a--hole. Go back to getting ratioed on Twitter. Go back to Davos with the other billionaire elite who think they know how to run the world," the heckler said.
A self-proclaimed lifelong Democrat, Schultz’s announcement that he is considering a run for president as an independent has caused concern from those among the Democratic Party, with some saying it may split the anti-Trump votes and help his re-election bid.
That’s not necessarily an incorrect assessment. It would split the anti-Trump vote, which is why I truly hope that Schultz gets into the race. Another reason the Left hates him is that he trashes their most cherished policy initiatives, like Medicare for All, which the former coffee executive called un-American. It’s not realistic and we cannot afford it. At any rate, this heckler embodied pretty much what every Democrat thinks about his possible political ambitions.
