Howard Schultz wants to have bipartisan meetings over 'coffee — Starbucks coffee'

Welcome to the businessman presidency, take two.

OK, so former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz hasn't officially announced a 2020 run or convinced anyone that he could win as a third-party "centrist independent." But he did sound downright presidential in a speech to Miami Dade College on Wednesday, especially as he made some potentially sponsored comments about bitter partisanship.

At the Florida college, the person of means lauded historic bipartisanship shown under former President Ronald Reagan and former Democratic House Speaker Tip O'Neill. Today's government looks nothing like that, Schultz continued, but he said he'll fix it all by having "members of both parties to the White House for coffee — Starbucks coffee — as often as I can."

If a White House mention wasn't enough, Schultz made other presidential promises in the speech, saying he "would not nominate a Supreme Court justice" who couldn't be confirmed by "two-thirds" of the Senate, per ABC News. That majority hasn't been achieved since Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's nomination in 2009. Schultz then went on to fight "centrist independent" haters, saying he "refuse[s] to be deterred" from his fight to save America from a "crisis of division."
