Conservative columnist Bill Kristol said that Republicans will have to give in to President Obama’s and Democrats’ demands more than they would like to in the next four years because “elections have consequences,” during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”
“I think Republicans will have to give in much more than they think,” Kristol said. He believes Obama will be able to pass major, consequential legislation in his second term.
“Four presidents in the last century have won more than 51 percent of the vote twice: Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Reagan and Obama,” Kristol said. “I think there will be a big budget deal next year. It will be an Obama-type budget deal much more than a Paul Ryan-type budget deal.”
