Uninformed and amateurish: Turncoat Bill Burton slammed for pushing Howard Schultz spoiler bid on MSNBC
One-time Democratic Party political strategist Bill Burton was hammered after appearing on MSNBCs Meet the Press Daily to push the third-party presidential bid of billionaire Howard Schultz.
Anchor Chuck Todd pressed Burton on a 2016 column he wrote slamming third-party candidates for potentially electing Donald Trump and the lack of Schultz having any record of engaging in political ballot campaigns in the past.
Trump bragged about goading Schultz into the race to help him get reelected despite his dismal poll support.
