Howard Schultz and Mike Bloomberg fell for this trap too, and it didn't turn out well for them.

It must be difficult to get honest advice as a billionaire, because these guys seem to be quite uninformed about how unpopular they actually turn out to be in the political arena.



I'm certain it is hard to get that advice, because it's pretty hard to get out of your own way, success certainly ain't going to make it easier.

You're completely correct about both of those guys, but Bloomberg showed an incredibly lack of charisma in his run and Schultz is known, but I really think yall are underrating how popular Cuban is for common people.

The ESPN demographic is a lot bigger than the HN techie demographic.


Agreed, I don't think the average American knows who Schultz is, at least compared to Cuban
