It’s 5.5 to 1. So, ask yourself this: if he claimed 6 to 1, how long would it take before some leftist “fact checker” gave him a bunch of “Pinocchios” for lying? 5 to 1 is the safe number to use. Not common core. Just common sensse.

You might want to reread the article. It's not common sense at all. It's a simple math error. You're right, the exact ratio is 5.5 to 1. The article, though, stated that the ratio was 3 to 1, not 5 to 1. (I'm not certain that's a number he used or one that was from the article's author.)

I went through the Luntz tweets. I think the 3:1 was Katie’s error. Of course, she said more than 3 to 1 and 5.5 is more than 3.
