Starbucks guy wants to run for president..
As a third party.
Democrats, who convinced Howard Schlutz to run, aren't exactly thrilled about it, nor are certain Democrats yelling at him in public.
Which makes sense, since third party isn't viable, and can only split off votes from the Democrats (Can you see a Republican voting for President Starbucks? Ain't happening.)

To bad He wouldn't apply that same type of Conservatism He does ot his Business as he would to how he would manage the Government.
Would be fun to see him make it so that you have to buy stuff while on tours of the White House before you are allowed to use the bathrooms tho!!!!!!
What if Trump decides to go third party?
Then we have him, the Starbucks guy, and the big two fragmenting the vote. Two viable third party candidates, with one a former president, has never really happened.
And knowing Trump, he'd run on a platform of "breaking" Washington, and play up his third party opponent. Probably take a shot of them shaking hands, saying "Let's take back America."
Purely because he's certain he'd win, and the further fragmentation only helps his chances.

WTF?
No, none of the following people are fiscal conservatives and are, in fact, the exact opposite:
1. Bush
2. Gore
3. Obama
4. Trump
5. Hillary
6. Bill
7. Any person who ran for presidency, in the general election, in the last 30 years who had a D or an R for their party affiliation.
