because there were changes in the voting process that would seemingly make it easier for him to get in and yet he still didn't come close. that ship has sailed. it ain't gonna happen.

and even if i'm wrong and he does get in, that doesn't mean my statement was ludicrous.

He didn't get close? He was 9 votes shy, I'd say that's pretty close.

dude, how many years has it been? 20? 30? it's not gonna happen.

I think it's going to happen. Unfortunately, I think it will happen right after he dies.
