He needs nothing to distract from his many imprudent comments; history will never remember it. Somehow accomplishing what he has either requires certain unsavory character traits, or is a consequence of his accomplishment.

I'm as turned off by spin and salesmanship (the perception is reality, lie) as anyone else, but somehow it works on most people, to varying degrees.

While he'd probably overstate his ability to bore to the Pacific, if I had to place a bet on who would be most likely able to accomplish it, he'd be near the top of my list.
