Ditka knowingly, and has admitted to, not reading sourced documents to which he is arguing against.

The funniest is when he asked in response to an argument based partly on an article about Trump’s popularity:

“Who do you think Socially liberal, Fiscally Conservatives voted for in 2016”

… when the article itself was entitled: [Socially Liberal, Fiscally Conservative Voters Preferred Trump In 2016](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/socially-liberal-fiscally-conservative-voters-preferred-trump-in-2016/).

The immortal exchange:

> [@Howard Schultz considers run; urged against.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/howard-schultz-considers-run-urged-against/828511/242):
>
> Check the 538 article linked above. Certain People are always calling for a “socially liberal, fiscally conservative centrist independent” to break the two-party duopoly. Problem is that only like 15% of Americans are both socially liberal and fiscally conservative.

> [@Howard Schultz considers run; urged against.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/howard-schultz-considers-run-urged-against/828511/243):

> Which candidate do you think those 15% supported in the last (Presidential) election?

> Trump. It says so in the article. Did you not read it? I mean, the headline itself says: “Socially Liberal, Fiscally Conservative Voters Preferred Trump In 2016”
