My prediction is that the corpo media will take whatever babbles or mutters about and use sophistry to spin it into an epic comeback because the "horse race" mandate is that necessary for corpo news business models.

It will be startling, even to some casual observers, that might say "wait, that rambling about Hannibal Lecter is supposed to be part of an epic comeback that places at a 50/50 chance to win again? Did I just hear that from those talking heads on TV?" And they'll get used to that as the new normal but for a moment things will feel a bit unprecedentedly strange.
