On CNN Wednesday night, former Republican congressman Tom Davis said a few GOP members will be voting against the compromise bill because they’re afraid of getting primaried, a move which Erin Burnett referred to as a “pathetic reality” of contemporary American politics.
John Avlon was particularly peeved at Ted Cruz for the way he put his own political interest above the interests of the Republican party, saying Cruz should “watch out” for political fallout in the near future.
Burnett thought this to be, in essence, “pretty sad” that anyone would vote against their conscience for their political well-being.
