Democratic Nominee in 2020

Quote: Evenbob

Unlikable characters who
all hate each other and swear non stop.
Oh boy..

So it’s just like the Trump White House.

Quote: Pacomartin

Scottish writer Armando Iannucci adapted his British sitcom "The Thick of It" which pioneered that style of inventive ways to use the f-word.

Didn't sound inventive to me, just massively overused
for no apparent reason. Ever been around people who
use the F word that much? Invariably, they are low
class uneducated morons. You never go into an office
of professionals and hear them use that word a lot,
usually not even once. If my lawyer or my doctor or
my accountant were to use the F word, I would seriously
question their judgment and look into getting another
professional.

I use the word in private a lot, usually when I'm talking
to my animals or to my brother or to myself. I never
use it with my wife, or in public. Never.

I always think of Eddie Murphy when this topic comes up. I really liked him back in the SNL days and for awhile after. Then his comedy act to just a stream of profanity, like several comics do. After about 5 or 10 bombs it's not funny, and there isn't any shock value like back in the Lenny Bruce days. I quit orbiting towards his material when it became almost the basis of his act.

In an hour act, just profanity is taking up minutes. They should be able to create funny material if he's a comedian. .02

It is usually because they want to get attention to their issue or issues. The Democrat Party is currently racing off a leftist cliff. Openly calling for socialism and socialist policies that will destroy the USA if enacted. Schultz probably wants to put on the brakes.

Then he should run in the Democratic primary, as Trump did the Republican one.

Quote:

Nader did probably save us from Al Gore.

There is absolutely no doubt that he was a spoiler in that election.

He would just get lost amid a sea of calls for socialism and Trump hate. As an indie he will get more attention and have every stage to himself.

Not to mention the Democrat Party has hung out a sign saying "Straight White Males Need Not Apply."

Why do I get the feeling that a year from now no one will remember who the heck Howard Schultz even is?

“So cold AOC has her hands in her own pockets.”

That’s funny.

And another example of how she triggers (NOT scares) righties.

Sarah Sanders said god wanted Trump to be President

Before Trump, god wanted Obama to be President?

Trump did start to run as an independent in 2000. It's not clear what would have happened in Florida if both Trump and Nader ran.


The possibility that we seldom think about is that Schultz may think he could actually win the Presidency as an Independent. There are a lot of Americans upset with both parties.

Teddy Roosevelt badly trounced his hand-picked Republican successor, Taft - but I have no doubt that he thought he could beat Wilson.

Woodrow Wilson: Democratic: Electoral vote 435 : States carried 40 : Popular vote 6,296,284 : Percentage 41.8%
Theodore Roosevelt: Progressive: Electoral vote 88 : States carried 6 : Popular vote 4,122,721 : Percentage 27.4%
William Howard Taft: Republican : Electoral vote 8 : States carried 2: Popular vote 3,486,242 : Percentage 23.2%
