He offered no substance
And then there’s this cloud on the horizon.
Why did CNN give Howard Schultz a town hall last night? Its own polls have him way down. Once again, he offered no substance. His only “qualification” is he has billions to pour into a campaign. Schultz is what’s rotten about American politics. Shame on CNN for legitimizing him.

Same reason they gave Trump so much airtime, no doubt. Greed? Cupidity? Lust for gain? One of those.
The folks in the media know that the only people that matter politically are the ones that can buy their way in. Their livelihoods depend on depend on playing the game that way which is why they are generally useless for the general public.
At least Perot bought his own air time… Yeesh.
