Ok I think I’m falling in love with Howard Schultz.
I mean yeah, he’s a pro-choice Democrat who I’d never vote for in a million years. But he’s speaking TRUTH to the Democratic Party right now and it’s just awesome to watch.
Just this morning he criticized Elizabeth Warren for trying to take the country toward socialism:
Schultz said that Warren came to him for a contribution a few years ago for her Senate race. When asked if he gave her one, he said “I did not”. This shocked the listening ears of the hosts, who asked him why.
“I don’t believe what Elizabeth Warren stands for. I don’t believe the country should be heading toward socialism.”
BOOM! I love it!
Even ABC News is now suggesting that Schultz is forcing Democrats into an early reckoning:

Maybe Democrats want to or have to land far to the left on healthcare, education, taxes, etc. in 2020. At least now they have to talk about it. Schultz is forcing that conversation. https://t.co/vgeK794CWh

You know Democrats have to be chomping at the bit to shut Howard Schultz up, to silence him somehow.
If I were him, I’d watch my back because I guarantee you he’s making a lot of enemies right now on the hard left.
