90. Denouements


From, “A Club of Liars, Demagogues and Ignoramuses,” a commentary by Marc Pitzke, Spiegel online, 12/1/11:

“Has any of that disrupted Cain's popularity in the media or with his fan base? Far from it. Since Oct. 1, he has collected more than $9 million in campaign donations. Enough to plow through another onslaught of denouements.”

Denouement: 1. the final outcome of the main dramatic complication in a literary work; 2. the outcome of a complex sequence of events

Did Pitzke use the word correctly in this sentence? What word would you suggest?
