     IF this gains traction, and
     IF Trump loses,
     THEN there had better be a comprehensive post-mortem over American journalistic practices.

     And not a facile redux like, “Oh, Mike Barnicle said ‘this guy’s nuts!’ and the dam finally broke.” No.

     Because if Trump wins, there’ll be more urgent problems than sorting this mess.
