“We are 100 per cent prepared. We believe that even if there are one million contestants on the platform of this party, we will carry the majority of the delegates at the convention. So, the more the merrier, they are all welcome.

“He is a democrat, every politician should not be afraid of election because the probability are two; either you win or lose.
