Is Howard Schultz’s campaign the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen in politics?

No. In fact, this isn't even interesting. The fly landing on Hillary Clinton's face during the second presidential debate was more riveting than this

Well put.

It's certainly up there with worst campaigns, with the Andy Burnham Labour leadership campaign 2015 and Bobby Jindal 'tanned, rested, ready'.

It's going to be hard to top the general weirdness of Trump being President. He opened the floodgates of narcissistic billionaires and celebrities thinking they could be President. It's actually fairly conventional now.

Lol I don't see how you could even think this given who sits in the Oval Office.

But the "weirdest" thing I've seen in politics was when they stuffed a bunch of people in ovens for identifying with Judaism. That's not going to be topped until people start nuking each other again.

The weirdest thing I've ever seen in politics is a Presidential general election decided by a margin of 537 votes in one state.

The second weirdest thing I've ever seen in politics is a celebrity who had been an off-and-on joke candidate for 28 years, and had his hypothetical future presidency used as a punchline for decades, actually winning the White House.

The third weirdest thing would be a popular / electoral vote split happening TWICE in less than 20 years.

If I went back in time to 1999 and told you all three of those would happen, you'd call me insane.

If you tried to tell me this in 99 I wouldn't be a fetus
