In some situations, victory has hundreds of origins while a defeat could create thousands of "disconnective" orphans for a sole cyber moment and beyond.
For this event, the message played a major role for the GOP. The process of managing the logistics for broadcasting this category of message is usually long, complex and challenging. But the supporters and the public are only concerned about the results.
Victory wears a red shirt on that day. It also wears a blue shirt in some instances.
