Howard Schultz on Morning Joe This Morning

Howard Schultz was on Morning Joe earlier today and I watched with interest. You will not find many people as open to various view points as I am. I have no political ideology per se. I recoil equally at times to the American Freedom Caucus and those on the extreme left who think their way is the only way. Neither one of those approaches will ever sustain long term is my take given the current state of American politics. Usually…it is a blending of ideas and thought which give a policy the best chance for success.

So—I watched Morning Joe this morning. Howard Schultz was on trying to explain what exactly it is he’s trying to do with this independent presidential run he’s talking about. Now putting aside the fact no one asked him why he sold the Sonics to Clay Bennett and then feigned faux anger after the team was moved to Oklahoma City…I thought his answers were interesting and well thought out. His thoughts on Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren were interesting in relation to health care and the proposed net worth tax.

He’s a lifelong Democrat and of course we all know the Starsbucks story where he as an employer provides health care to his employees and an array of progressive benefits to his employees.

At least with Schultz his comments will be adult and part of a process in which hopefully all become more enlightened about issues such as health care, the debt, trade policies, taxation, immigration, etc.

Here’s a video of Schultz on Morning Joe this morning. It was interesting. But at the end of the day he’s saying what I’m saying….both parties are broken and it won’t matter if Kamala Harris or Elizabeth Warren or whoever could beat Donald Trump. Here’s a suggestion from me to Howard Schultz….give Michael Bennet a call.
