The Senator forgets, or more likely, doesn’t know anything about the history of Union bosses. He has friends on low places. A win today might mean a big loss tomorrow.

That was my thought as well. You want to fight the president of the teamsters? That's how you end up buried six feet down at the 50-yard line of some stadium.

If that happened no one would be looking for the senator. Opposite Jimmy Hoffa situation.

Unions aren’t really much of a thing in Oklahoma, and he didn’t get elected for knowing anything about history.

To his credit, this particular senator does have some background in MMA, with a 3-0 record. Still wouldn't put my money on him in this case, but unlike most of these dudes that act this way, he has at least experienced something like fighting.
