Juan Williams: McConnell won big by blocking Obama
Drumroll, please….
The winner of my 2016 award for the top member of Congress is Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Yes, you read that right.
A Democrat feels compelled to honor McConnell.
Let me explain.
For the past five years, this column has annually celebrated the Member of Congress who made the biggest impact during the preceding 12 months.
Usually the award goes to a legislator for positive action. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) won for taking a political risk and gaining Senate passage of an immigration reform bill. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) won for her daring, passionate focus on income inequality, moving the issue to the top of the national political agenda.
