Experiences and anecdotes will vary from area to area and store to store. I do not doubt your comments, nor that they are probably true on a wider national basis.

My own friendships and experience is in upscale stores in primarily upper middle class areas. Seldom a good place to look for a “typical” company wide representation. This is probably even more true in an area/store where a Starbucks corporate executive is likely one of your regulars.

My post was intended to present readily available information, whether accurate or not, that will be touted by a campaign, surrogates, press and PR people. That, and his being a “lifelong” Democrat, might look appealing to lower information center left, center and center right voters who are uncomfortable with the movement further left and right of the two major parties.

I think he may take more from both parties,and the independents, than either party believes. IIRC, Ross Perot got about 19% of the vote as a third party candidate. He might look just liberal enough, but not too liberal, for those who walk in either the right or left lane, but still between the lines of the main highway.
