I am liking what Howard Schultz is saying. Got zero problem voting for a Democrat if they are a classical Dem like John Fitzgerald Kennedy. From PJ Media:
Howard Schultz Shoots Down Liz Warren Attack With Passionate Defense of the American Dream
On Wednesday, former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz shot down an attack from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who said that because he is a billionaire, he is out of touch with America. He responded with a passionate defense of the American dream.
"Senator Elizabeth Warren said some pretty sharp words about me. She referred to me as a billionaire out of touch with the American people," Schultz said in a short video. He told his rags-to-riches story succinctly and in a patriotic way.
"I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, in Canarsie, in federally subsidized housing, the projects. When I was 7 years old my father, who was a laborer, came home and had a serious accident. He was dismissed from his job, we lost our health insurance. I witnessed the fracturing of the American dream," the former Starbucks CEO began.
Schultz witnessed failure early, but he did not let that define him.
"I started with nothing and I made it in America because of the aspiration, the magnetism, and the spirit of our country," he declared. "I’ve always believed in the promise of the country. What is the promise of the country? What it is is regardless of your station in life, the color of your skin, your gender, your sexual orientation, whatever it might be, that everyone should have a chance in America."
A bit more:
"What we need right now in America is for the country to come together, and for the Democrats and Republicans who have been unwilling to work together, to finally realize that the American people deserve much more than political slogans and tweets," he said. "What we need is a government that can work for us, leadership that we can trust."
Stuff like that has got to have Pelosi and Schumer spitting tacks because Schultz is reminding Americans what the Classical Democratic party is all about and is showcasing just how out of touch the present incarnation has gotten.
