I would love for Howard Schultz to run as a Democrat.

He was on 60 Minutes this evening flirting with an independent run. If it happens, it would be the best thing to happen to Trump.
I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
Looks like Kamala's team is trying to put the Willie Brown problem out there so it can be swept under the rug. "Oh, we've been through that."
Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker. -Willie
Maybe they can fool Bernie into playing along again and he can exclaim at a debate "I'm tired of hearing about her damn Willie!"
In other "news" that isn't, Hillary still doesn't rule out 2020, according to Rolling Stone.
Well, not that she knows all the reasons that she lost, she can now run and win.
With liberty and justice for all...must be 18, void where prohibited, some restrictions may apply, not available in all states.
Best case is that's she's trolling to increase speaking and book fees.
Her new slogan?Well, not that she knows all the reasons that she lost, she can now run and win.

“Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has made a splash with her plan for a "wealth tax" on the super-rich, a major break from typical Democratic proposals that target income, investment gains and inheritances.
While wealth taxes aren't a new invention and a handful of developed nations currently have them in place, they are on the decline: The number nations that are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development with a wealth tax dropped from 12 to four from 1990 to 2017, according to a report by the organization last year.”
