The conclusion is that
only someone who truly understands economics has a shot at being elected.
So let's think about why. We're told that anyone who supports the tax plan is toast in this election, meaning only folks who don't support the tax plan have a shot at getting elected. Pretty straightforward.
Next, we're told that if someone understands economics, they won't support the tax plan. So we know that if you understand econ, you're out on the tax plan, and maybe you could get elected.
But what about someone who
doesn't understand economics? We have no freaking idea.
There could, for instance, be people who don't understand economics, but who know it's good politics to oppose all new tax plans. There could be people who don't understand economics, but who oppose the tax plan because they dislike the font that was used in the pdf version of the plan. We could go on.
In other words, there might be folks who don't understand economics, but who also don't support the tax plan. These people could, theoretically, get elected. So then our conclusion -- that
only someone who truly understands economics has a shot at being elected -- doesn't look so great. This is what's captured in (D).
I hope that helps!
