I have argued for a long time that the entire problem in Washington DC turns on character, or lack thereof.
The Founders themselves wrote that once we’re saddled with charlatans and liars and dissemblers, the Republic is finished.
But what is character ? Somebody who has (at least as far as we know) been faithful to a spouse…a Pelosi, a Reid, an Obama ? (Michelle would eat his lunch if he stepped out 
)
Someone whose chief gunslingers (“they bring a knife, we bring a gun”) are people like David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel, Valerie Jarrett ?
I want to say today that Newt Gingrich today is a man of character, despite obvious screw ups (no pun intended) of earlier years.
