"Howard Schultz, the chairman and CEO of Starbucks, is being urged to
challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Schultz, 62, is getting encouragement from supporters because they believe "the time is right for someone who's not a political lifer," NYT columnist Maureen Dowd said on Saturday. "It may be a tempting proposition."
Raised in low-income housing in Brooklyn, Schultz later graduated from Northern Michigan
University. He bought Starbucks in 1988 and built the company to where its operating income totaled $939 million in its most recent quarter, on $4.9 billion in sales.
Schultz also once owned the Seattle Supersonics.
"He has strong opinions, and even position papers, about what he calls the fraying American dream," writes Dowd, who has long criticized Clinton and former President Bill Clinton.
She referenced the book Schultz co-wrote last year, "For Love of Country: What Our Veterans Can Teach Us About Citizenship, Heroism, and Sacrifice."
"While he was promoting his book on veterans last year, he honed a message about making government work again and finding 'authentic, truthful leadership,'" Dowd said." NEWSMAX
