Last edited Wed Mar 16, 2016, 09:58 AM - Edit history (1)

"But I can tell you, if we didn’t, and if we’re 20 votes short or if we’re 100 short, and we’re at 1100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400 — because we’re way ahead of everybody — I don't think you can say that we don't get it automatically.

Like your fascist hero Mussolini said: "Don't go out with a whimper, go out with a bang!"

ROAR like a lion! BURN THAT BITCH DOWN!!!
