It could be jimjam's nightmare scenario: all billionaires. Bloomberg (as interesting as a wallflower) and Schultz (much more charismatic) can self fund. The Democrats have already started attacking them. They think that anti-Trump sentiment is an opportunity to advance the most radical agenda in two or three generations.

The Republicans found this out in 2012 the hard way. Romney thought he'd skate right in and ended up taking the last two weeks of the election off, only to lose to an eminently beatable Obama. Glad Romney didn't win, but I held my nose and voted for the prick. "I like to fire people!" Great job Mitt...
