Colbert: ‘Centrist Independent’ Means ‘The Most Obnoxious Guy at the Dinner Party’

RUSH EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “A lot of people are lining up to challenge trump. Like former Starbucks C.E.O., and oldest high school student at “Glamour shots,” Howard Schultz. Schultz is considering running for president as a centrist independent, which is the politically correct term for “Most obnoxious guy at the dinner party.” “I think most Americans just want to find a middle ground between baby cages and not baby cages. Baby handcuffs?” Now, you may be wondering what a centrist independent believes. And you’re going to keep wondering, because when Schultz was asked what he thought the corporate tax rate should be, he said, “I don’t want to talk in the hypothetical about what I would do if I was president.” That’s literally the only thing you’re supposed to be doing while running for president. What? Instead of “Yes we can,” it’s “What will we?”
