Howard Schultz. Photo: 60 Minutes To say that Howard Schultz’s announcement that he is “seriously thinking of running for president” as a “centrist independent” was received poorly would be an understatement. The prospect of the billionaire former Starbucks CEO splitting the Democratic vote in 2020 — an election in which defeating President Trump is seen less as a political mandate than an existential imperative — has drawn an outraged response from Democratic operatives and the general public alike. Said public was not shy in letting Schultz know about it, either: “Don’t help elect Trump!
