Aaron Wherry, Maclean's: He is not creating alternate realities, he is simply daring enough to breeze past any assertion of reality which does not serve his purposes. He is looking you in the eye, shrugging and moving on. He is entirely undaunted by his own record of words and actions... What he has pitched throughout this campaign is a series of bold assertions -- or at least a series of assertions that must seem bold to anyone stubborn enough to hang on to recorded history.
