Part of the thing I think people are screwing up about Schultz is that "let's slash entitlement programs to balance budgets" really is a fiscally *conservative* position in the context of 2019/2020. It's not only (way) to the right of the Democrats, it's to the right of Trump!
That stands in contract to someone like Bloomberg, who, as he's evolved, has both de-emphasized economic issues (relative to social issues) and whose views on economic policy have moved from conservative to fairly moderate.
People who have Schultz's views on fiscal policy but (also like Schultz) liberal views on e.g. gun control or abortion or immigration were, generally speaking, more likely to vote for *Trump* than Clinton in 2016. Will have more on that later this week.
