Last night on Special Report, George Will gave credit to the recent electoral success of the Republican party to someone who probably didn’t want to accept it: Barack Obama.
“Barack Obama once said that he wanted to be as consequential in his own way as Ronald Reagan was,” Will said. “Well, he is in this sense: He’s the greatest builder of the Republican party since Ronald Reagan.”
“Today, there are many fewer House Democrats, many fewer Democratic Senators, many fewer governors,” he continued. “The Republican party controls more state legislative chambers than at any time in its history.”
