SEATTLE (AP) — For a businessman who grew a small coffee roaster into an inescapable global chain, who ensured that even his part-time workers had benefits and who has given about $150,000 to Democratic campaigns, former Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz is generating tepid — or even hostile — responses within the party as he weighs a presidential bid in 2020.That's partly because reports suggest he's considering running as an independent, a prospect many worry could draw support from the eventual Democratic nominee and hand President Donald Trump another four years in office. Among those urging him not to run as an independent are David Axelrod, the former adviser to President Barack Obama, and Tina Podlodowski, the Democratic Party chairwoman in Washington state, where Schultz has lived for decades."For somebody who is professing to be a lifelong Democrat, I think to be running as in independent in this particular cycle is not a wise thing to do," Podlodowski said.

Yeah...Not sure if this is good. The Independent ticket has ruined us before. I will stay with the Democrats to get this big SHIT out of office. 
And....I don't like the way people are changing their party affiliations  just to increase their chances for a win. That is crooked in my book. Just like I like some things about former Mayor Bloomberg (NYC) but he changes parties just to win.
