I agree with Ford’s point that Burton is beginning to believe his own candidate’s propaganda. Burton wants so much to be involved in something good and noble that he is willing to believe any lies that confirm that. Though he knows many of Stanton’s moral flaws, Burton is willing to overlook them so that he can convince himself that he is supporting a respectable candidate.
I also thought Philip made a good point about Burton’s conversation with Daisy concerning the Caribbean. This conversation revealed that Burton has more faith in the campaign than Daisy does. It is interesting to notice that he still appears to be holding out hope for a victory, even in the midst of all the losses.
