ABC's Amanpour Warns GOP's 'Wind in Their Sail' from Budget 'Victory' Could Hurt Future Negotiations
Appearing on Sunday’s Good Morning America on ABC, This Week host Christiane Amanpour suggested that Republican House Speaker John Boehner’s perceived victory in recent budget negotiations with President Obama could be harmful in the long run as it will “give Republicans a lot more wind in their sail” and make it more difficult for both sides to compromise on the larger portions of the budget.
Co-anchor Bianna Golodryga set up the line of thinking as she posed the question: “Since both sides avoided the backlash that would have come with the government shut down that could have potentially taught them a lesson, is there risk that they’ll overplay their hand on obviously this much more controversial debate over the debt limit now heightened?”
