I was being facetious. MSNBC had a rough night. Poor Rachel Maddow had to be corrected by Chris Matthews, and Kornacki's map kept malfunctioning. And then there was a ton of bad analysis overall, like the strong implication that voting for Johnson/Stein cost HRC the election. The WSJ just did some analysis and reported that HRC would have needed 70% of the third party vote in states like PA, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, etc. There's absolutely no evidence to support that, despite the whining from Rachel Maddow that those who vote 3rd party don't care who wins.

But to answer your question,my reply had about as much to do with the link, as a cartogram has to do with who won the election.
