Howard Schultz is on Morning Joe bashing Democrats again.

Saying he's not a Democrat anymore because they want to give everybody a job and free healthcare. Steve Schmidt is his chief strategist and they're looking to game the electoral college, like Trump did.

Not all Democrats support Medicare for all and free college. These issues wouldn't stop him from running as a Dem , if he really wanted to. It's his ego, he doesn't want to be a small fish in a big pond.

I wish he would run as a dem and go through the primary. A Centrist Dem isn't the worst thing in the world and could garner votes from either side. Of course he probably knows he has zero chance of winning a dem primary, but he also has zero chance of winning if he runs as a independent.

who is, ironically, now working for someone who is Trump's best shot at getting re-elected.

I hope the bag of silver was large enough.

I pay every month for it. And I have to have supplemental private insurance because it doesn't cover all of the claims.
