If Hillary crashes and burns, Bernie isn’t electable, and Joe doesn’t catch fire, who do the Democrats have? Howard Schulz. Yep, rumors are swirling the Starbucks boss may jump in.
Now suppose Trump does get the GOP nomination. That sets up a battle of CEOs. It means Americans will turn to a billionaire to revive the economy and breathe life back into the middle class. Which one will they pick? The blustery blowhard?
Probably the one who brews their morning coffee, is my guess. Trump argues that business is all about branding. You can make an unassailable case that Schulz has built a far stronger brand than Trump has. He’s a much nicer guy, too.
