Former CEO of Starbucks Howard Schultz collects feedback on its submission on the nomination for the presidential election of 2020. Why do unhappy all – both Republicans and Democrats.
President trump almost immediately otvetil this news with all valid sarcasm: «Howard Schultz did not have the courage to run for President! Last night I watched it on «60 minutes», and I agree with him that he is not the smartest person. In addition, in America it’s already there! I just hope Starbucks still pays me rent at the Trump Tower!»

However, Democrats suspect that Donald trump so special egged Schultz. In their opinion, the participation of another businessman into the hands of Trump and will contribute to his victory.
David Axelrod, a former adviser to Obama, writes that «trump knows that his 40-45 percent is not good enough. He needs to Schultz ran and lowered the threshold».

Sam Schultz is confident in his chances, and outlined his aim is to win the trump and not allow the Democrats to hold the White house, someone «too left». Possible candidate of the socialist Democrats — that’s who can help Trump to win the election, says former Starbucks boss: «If there is a choice between President trump and the progressive, liberal-minded person on the democratic side, I’m sure President trump will be re-elected».
Chief strategist of the presidential campaign of Republican John McCain in 2008 and a sharp critic of trump , Steve Schmidt, who advises Schultz, told POLITICO that perhaps that is why the Democrats in the end themselves need Schultz to rescue them.
«It seems that no one who speculates on this subject in Twitter, did not think about the possibility that the Democratic party would appoint someone who is so far to the left. And at this point the only one who can theoretically stop trump, is a centrist candidacy of a man like Schulz».
In an interview with NPR, when Howard Schultz reminded about the complexities of the nomination of an independent candidate with rich experience in this business, Schulz said that he knows how to overcome difficulties: «You know that 42% of voters 30% are registered independent, and another 12% today join them?… In addition, I believe that has never been more discontent, at least in my memory, both parties (Democrats and Republicans».

Speaking about his political position, Schultz calls the biggest problem facing the country’s growing public debt. Schultz blames the Democrats that they want to go too far in part of free health care. However, he harshly criticizes the immigration policy of trump and advocates for same-sex marriage and abortion rights. And these are the most painful for both parties, perhaps this is the cause of General irritation candidate Schultz.
