For one thing, he has promised to veto any bill that comes to him loaded with pork and to publicly single out whoever loaded it, regardless of what the bill is or who he has to single out. That's something that needs doing, IMO, and I think would be out of character for just about any other contender in this cycle or for either of our last two presidents.

I also know that he is very serious about treating those across the aisle with complete respect even when disagreeing with them. And not the typical congressional, parliamentary "the gentleman from" or "my friend from" formalities, but when they aren't in earshot, too. A level of dignity in public service that is too often lacking.

I'll post more when I have more time.
