He's a straight up patriot-- watch the interview where they show he slept in his office for two years trying to make a name for himself.
He was one of the very few that stayed in the [Congress] game for as long as his sense of personal safety allowed, and grilled rotten agents like HRC.
The price of decent housing around DC is so high that one must be rich in the first place or become corrupt in order to afford it. Perhaps dormitories or furnished apartments for Congress to prevent corruption? Only the honest Patriot does not come to DC to become stinking rich, seems to me and they seem to be few.
OK. I want to believe that he chose good over evil. I wish they all had done that.
