I wonder how things would be different if there was no NARRATIVE surrounding the primaries. As in, people woke up the next day read the results in their newspaper and then moved on. Starting in 2004 or so (starting before, of course, but *really* getting going in 2004) the hot takes about the hot takes about WHAT IT ALL MEANS go hyper-meta before any results are even out. Spinners as spinnning spinnning spinning towards freedom!
And no matter what happens, it'll be good news for John McCain.
