On Saturday, former Congressman Jack Kemp died of cancer at the age of 73. Kemp was also the GOP vice presidential nominee in 1996.

Just how pivotal of a role did Kemp play in the Reagan Revolution? How did he persuade Reagan to adopt his economic philosophy? How was he so effective despite apending his entire Congressional career in the minority? And what triggered his active outreach to minorities and the inner cities? We ask Frank Donatelli, political director in the Reagan White House and current chairman of GOPAC.
