Talk of a Schultz candidacy has been percolating since shortly after the 2016 election when a “Ready for Schultz” grassroots movement took to the Internet to inspire the 65-year-old billionaire. The buzz got louder last week when CNN quoted a source close to the Brooklyn native saying, “(Schultz) is thinking deeply about his future and how he can best serve the country.” Schultz appeared on “60 Minutes” Sunday night to confirm he is “seriously thinking of running for president” as a “centrist independent” who worries about the national debt and fears the Democrats and Republicans have become too entrenched in partisan warfare.
