I think what we saw happen tonight is what always happens when people let the hopium levels get out of control and get riled up and start expecting the moon and stars to be delivered.
The plan isn't going to skip any steps IMO. We need to stop trying to put the cart in front of the horse. it might have been glowies and shills whooping up all the hopium with the " what do you think will be announced tonight " crap that was going on, but a lot of that crap was getting stickied too.
This has always been a long, methodical plan. previous incidents of hopium withdrawal have resulted in similar let down and dooming situations and we need to be better about this somehow. People that warn to curb expectations seems to go unheeded in the frenzy of speculation of sweeping victory.
The chess game analogy is often used.. we're lead to believe the outcome at this point is certain but they will not concede and are forcing the game to play out in some hope that their opponent will make a mistake.. so it's really a succession of moves.. they might sit and ponder and get up from the table and turn the lights in the room on and off and take long pee breaks.. but when it comes down to it they have to make their next move, then the appropriate counter move can be taken, and on and on
