All The Worst U.S. Cities Are Run By Democrats

Yeah, and? What does that prove? I could easily turn this around and say that all of the poorest states have Republican governors. Furthermore, all of the best, most booming, prosperous cities seem to have Democratic mayors as well. Look around the country and you'll see that nearly every city, good and bad, has a Democratic mayor. States, on the other hand, increasingly have GOP governors, with Red-leaning state legislatures as well. Just the way it is.

So instead, let's talk about policy. Tell me exactly what Democratic policies are keeping some cities, (keyword here is some, as almost all cities have Democratic mayors), in ruins. And don't just rush to your favorite inner city talking point that welfare traps people in dependency. Regardless of if that's true, (subject for another blog post, maybe), I'd like to remind you that welfare and entitlement programs are run at the federal and state level. Cities play little to no role in such policy. So that really isn't relevant here.

So please, come at me with policies that the Democrats do to certain, (again, only certain) cities that harm those cities. Because I rarely hear people who make this charge offer specifics.
