“One of Mr. Popkin’s favorite examples of how “low-information voters” use “cues” to form logical conclusions is Gerald Ford’s eating an unshucked tamale, which signaled to many Latino voters that the president didn’t understand their culture. History repeated as farce this week when Mr. Trump on Cinco de Mayo tweeted a photo of himself eating a taco bowl: “The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!””
One was ignorance. The other was flipping you the finger. And you cant tell the difference.
Interesting that the WSJ tracks down this old guy for the article. Popkin is either missing the cues or it was an intentional smear.
It could be that the author cherry-picked his comments to serve the opinion of the WSJ. Unfortunately, the WSJ remains a dominant source of information for many in the business community and beyond. We need to refute their errors and misguided opinions.
