If those allegations are 100% true, it's no different than every other politician. With that being said, he'll never get the nomination and he'll never be president. I think people should focus on solutions that might be effective rather than put hope into the hopeless.

On the pork front, he is different from other Republican politicians. Very different. Most of them have disavowed the practice as wasteful profligate spending and favor currying. Ron Paul rationalizes it.

As for the double-billing, that's at least an ethics violation. Yes, that's different from just about every other politician. It's fraud. He'd better get to the bottom of it, PDQ, or he's going to be remembered as a criminal. Charlie Rangel level? No. But he's supposed to be better than that.
