The problem with Shaun King's analysis...

In a March 9 opinion piece (illustrated with an outsized photo of Hillary Clinton), Shaun King of the New York tabloid The Daily News bemoans the Democratic party's cluelessness about the reasons behind its "unpopularity". Mr. King seems to have "no earthly idea" of the basic rules of data analysis; he uses evidence concerning favorable / unfavorable ratings to reach conclusions about popularity.

If you look at the actual data, 74% of Democrats give Hillary Clinton a favorable rating. That's probably why she won both the Democratic nomination and the general election popular vote by millions of ballots.

The most delicious irony, however, is that King uses a picture of the candidate who won the popular vote to illustrate his misguided conclusion about popularity based on evidence about something else entirely.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.
