David Axelrod, Chief Strategist for President Barack Obama, called out consultants who take jobs helping Howard Schultz saying they “will make enough to keep themselves in overpriced coffee drinks for life!”
One thing you can be sure of:
The consultants who sign on with the Howard Schultz campaign may help facilitate the second Trump term.
But they surely will make enough to keep themselves in overpriced coffee drinks for life!https://t.co/bKNJnl9lpr— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) January 29, 2019
He’s actually talking about Bill Burton, but not by name. Yes, his former Obama colleague Bill Burton:
Axelrod is also a giant hypocrite as he’s more than happy to take money for candidates who are running longshot centrist campaigns. From 2013:
Barack Obama’s longtime campaign guru David Axelrod has a new client: Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti. Axelrod slipped into Rome to meet privately with Monti, 69, a political centrist and longtime university professor and European Union Commissioner, who served one year as caretaker Prime Minister. Monti is now in his first campaign for higher office, facing both former three-time Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on the right and center-left favorite Pierluigi Bersani in next month’s national elections.
Obama bro Jon Favreau weighed in on Howard Schultz as well, asking why Schultz doesn’t have to run as a Democrat:
"Why doesn't our party get to decide whether you can run for president or not?" https://t.co/XjgZdkNgVx

Fellow Pod-bro Jon Lovett is pissed, too:
This catastrophic little press tour by @howardschultz is a good lesson – no matter who you are or what you achieve, you need people in your life who will roll their eyes at you when you deserve it.

Watch how fast everyone flips if an independent gets in the race to challenge Donald Trump:
If Kasich or Romney announced they were running as an Indy for President the media would be telling us how amazing it was for democracy, Schultz announces and the media tells us how awful it is. You guys are transparent.

Bingo:
The press freaking out about a private citizen running 3rd party and hurting the Dem candidate kinda gives up the game.
