John, I didn't say "don't worry yourself about politics and the state of the world". I said that the views of one right winger who is playing to a limited audience is not going to have much sway at the top table. The Republican party are not going to fight against the interests of the military at the next election. That's a guaranteed loser.
One politician on his own can't take on the military. It looks to me like a publicity stunt or are you saying the senate need to unanimously approve pay increases or, in other words, one senator can stop the law? If so then that sounds constitutionally crazy. Nothing would ever get agreed.
In the UK, there are parts of the country where crazy right wingers get into power but it only becomes an issue if they find their way into cabinet positions. Is Tuberville realistically going to get a high ranking brief if the Republicans get in next time? He looks like a bit of a liability to me.
