The “Morning Joe” crew asked Howard Schultz a question this morning, and apparently he disqualified himself from ever running for public office, or something:
Morning Joe Asks Howard Schultz How Much a Box of Cheerios Costs. He Does Not Know. https://t.co/pWamUnIpge pic.twitter.com/R3DkHyV3xt

Is there a nationally set price on a box of Cheerios? Schultz replied that he doesn’t eat Cheerios, but according to Mika Brzezinski, the correct answer is “four bucks.” (Price at YOUR local store may vary)
“And next on Morning Joe we’ll have Steve Rattner join us to analyze this sound bite.”

Do they really want to go there?
Starbucks guy out of touch for not knowing how much cereal costs. Hillary needed 3 people, 2 phone calls and emails to get her a diet coke and couldn't work a remote control means she's just quirky like us.

Schultz should have responded: “Forget Cheerios, wtf did this cost?” pic.twitter.com/2UyhlihcFN

Funny but Trump never got asked these kind of questions when Morning Joe was his biggest cheerleader.
Here's a question though…how much does it cost to rent the National Archives for your wedding when the rules say it can't be used for private events? https://t.co/lANTnR9ueS

Hey, a fair question is a fair question!
Now ask @SenWarren the same question @JoeNBC.

Warren’s next at-home live video may well contain the phrase “I’m gonna get me a box of Cheerios.”
Funny how y’all never asked Hillary Clinton these questions, who I guarantee has not made her own breakfast or bought her own cereal since 1987. https://t.co/kLxTxCGjjZ

Clearly he begins his day with a slice of lemon pound cake and a grande latte. Also this is a dumb “gotcha” ploy to make him seem out of touch. I don’t know how much Cheerios are either because I don’t eat cereal. https://t.co/8QrkgP02jh

There doesn’t appear to be a very clear-cut answer to the “Morning Joe” question of the day.
I have zero idea, and I am around a billion dollars away from being a billionaire. https://t.co/1nwImZdUhp

I haven’t purchased cereal in 15 years. I’m not a rich person. I have no idea how much Cheerios cost. It’s a dumb question.

Like, what's the insinuation here? That if he doesn't know the exact price point on certain groceries, he's unqualified to be president? https://t.co/wUw4aEqQjP

The Price is Right proved that most people don't know what things cost even if they buy them a lot, and I'm not sure why this is relevant. https://t.co/jszioyg59X

Joe Scarborough is a real man of the people. You can spot him in Manhattan, hunkered down against the cold and the wind, pushing his grocery cart up the sidewalk after a trip to Gristedes to buy more beans and bread https://t.co/Ls8xVNYisI

Howard Schultz should have punched back with something like, "I know how much it costs a business to pay for an employee's health insurance." https://t.co/pfLlPRZeGb

Heh!
