And no wonder; the Democrat party has shrunk dramatically during Obama's term in office. 

Obama's policies haven't helped many Americans. But, they have been an absolute bonanza to one particular group of job-seekers: Republican candidates. Not since Ronald Reagan has any President done more to build up a thriving and energetic GOP.
