Low-information voters spent the debate tweeting anger at Cubs pitcher Jon Lester

Jon Lester is expected to be the Cubs’ Game 1 starter when the NLDS kicks off at Wrigley on Friday against either the Mets or Giants. That’s Jon Lester. Not NBC anchor Lester Holt, who is old and who scouts say has 55 command at best, barely fourth-starter potential. Just so we’re clear.

 

We’re late on this (we never would have known about it if Randall J. Sanders hadn’t noticed) but I think it’s worth the wait. Last week, presidential debate moderator Holt drew the ire of some Trump supporters by asking questions of Donald Trump about his insane statements and policies, and by attempting to keep him on track. The next morning those Trumplings ran to Twitter and tweeted at the first “Lester” they could find...

Not very closely...since Jon Lester is about 25 years younger than Lester Holt.  And he's white.

If "Trumplings" were running to Twitter and tweeting to the first "Lester" they could find as the article says, then doesn't that mean they were watching the debate? The real "low-information" voters were not watching the debate at all. That was my only point. Yes, Jon Lester and Lester Holt are much different, but not knowing that does not make one a low information voter.

...or they could have just been on Twitter or Facebook seeing their Trumpkin siblings bellyaching about the debate being biased against their lord and savior and went into a rage against the first Lester they found.
