George Will on Sunday took a dim view of the push by a group of Senate Republicans to oppose a “continuing resolution” to fund the government if it funds Obamacare, arguing that the effort will face problems, both real and perceived.

“The fact is that the president has the power to set the narrative,” Will told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “The narrative will be that Republicans simply have chosen to cause chaos and I think it’s a bad idea.”

The more practical problem, he said: “You cannot govern this country from one half of one of our three branches of government. Can’t be done.”
