will do shit until he has a complete psychotic break, complete with screaming obscenities and foaming at the mouth on live TV. And I'm doubtful that will even rouse Republicans to any action.

He obviously thought it showed him to great advantage. Everyone else who saw it saw a frat pledge (who's not going to make it) getting dressed down during hell week.

Because the Repug civilians in the room are not going to do to anything about him except try to get his re-elected.
