Trump told the crowd at the Trump Hotel tonight fundraiser that he was trying to get Howard Schultz into the race with his tweet earlier today because he thinks he'll help him, per attendee.

The only people who want Schultz to run are the Trumpsters. Because . . .the man may draw some votes away from Dems. I don't see a lot of Dems voting for another inexperienced pol /businessman. But Trump knows he's in trouble for 2020; this smells of desperation.

Trump isn't smart enough to figure this out himself.

I'm just hoping Schultz is smart enough to realize it and decides not to run.
