Well, any 3rd party candidate is a spoiler for the challenger, not the incumbent.

This is probably somehow engineered by Trump supporters.

Despite being the former CEO of Starbucks, Mr. Schultz is best remembered in Seattle for selling our basketball team to Oklahoma City.

You're more than welcome to come get them as far as I'm concerned.

They keep talking about getting an NBA team here in Louisville but pretty much everyone other than the mayor's office is like WHY?
Every time a team looks to move it comes up again.

They're mad that he's out of touch not knowing what Cheerios cost. Firstly *I* don't know what Cheerios cost. Secondly, the irony of people complaining he's out of touch having voted for Barack "Arugula" Obama.  :laugh:

That's dusting off some old cobwebs.
Just no one other than the mayor's office and certain business people see any point in it. Everyone is pretty much satisfied with the college basketball we have in the area.

I grew up in Indy and remember as a wee lad going to a few Pacer games when they were in the ABA.  I also remember going to a few hockey games (the teams and leagues changed every couple years), but I did get to see Gretzky at the start of his career.

30 years ago, Schultz's positions would have been liberal-to-centrist democrat, almost indistinguishable from Trump's currently.

While I wouldn't vote for Schultz, what he says here makes a lot of sense, and ironically, he was immediately attacked for it.

Quote
Shouting down political opponents, inflexible dogma, and the making of lists of the politically impure, unfavored classes, and offending businesses, has always been integral to socialism. History is utterly clear on this point. The list is always acted on.

I'm pretty sure his example was the Bronx chick "making her list" and threatening to send her brownshirt squad against any dems that don't vote her way (reference the dems who sided with Rs on HR8 and illegal immigrants). That really is scary and is exactly what the socialists do. He called it exactly.
