ELECTION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is not getting a lot of positive feedback since indicating on Sunday [1-27-19] that he was seriously considering a 2020 presidential run…Although most have not used profanity, many political figures and media pundits have echoed the heckler’s sentiments. Schultz’s fellow billionaire, Michael Bloomberg, warned him against running, saying in a statement that ‘the great likelihood is that an independent would just split the anti-Trump vote and end up re-electing the President’…CNBC host Andrew Sorkin, who interviewed Schultz at the book event, asked the former coffee executive if he would drop out of the race if polls indicated his third-party candidacy could lead to Trump’s re-election.”
