Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) expressed concern Monday morning that former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz getting into the 2020 race could mean lost votes for the Democrat and a candidate equaling President Donald Trump in lack of qualifications for the job.
“The real question is, is the average American interested in a repeat of Donald Trump, meaning someone with no prior experience in government and public service, but someone in this case who has a stronger record as an ethical business leader?” Coons asked CNN’s John Berman.

I, for one, am even more leery than ever that a CEO with no hands-on idea of how government works should be allowed to get on-the-job training in the WH.
FFS, if you have to run a vanity campaign, shoot for governor and learn a bit.
We’ve been burned enough.
100% No!
Just what we need
Another"businessman" who’s ego thinks it qualifies him to be president.
As my wife astutely observed after viewing the 60 minutes interview.
He’s boring , why would anyone vote for him.
Third party always works out
SEE: LePage, Paul times 2
Trump, Donald (Pulllleeeze once is enough)
I keep saying that some major group needs to start a “I will boycott Starbucks if Schultz runs as an Independent” pledge. Several million people boycotting Starbucks will cause Schultz to drop this narcissistic stunt. Business people are open to pressure, and it needs to be used against Schultz.
Bush, George W. (thanks Nader, you really did a great service for the little guy there you buttplug)
and if we want to look at the other side:
Clinton, Bill
