Einstein once said,

'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'

 

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats... yet they are still POOR.

 

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.   

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.   

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.   

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.   

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.   

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

Abraham Lincoln

Why would a Republican want to be mayor of any of those places?

The point is there is a correlation, it is indisputable, but not in his favor. Had it been otherwise, he would be the first to point it out!  ;D

Not only are all the cities Demoncrap/Socialist & Welfare loving, but with the single exception of El Paso & Miami (Hispanic & Illegal or recent cit), also they are all Northern, Old dead industry Union areas & taxed heavily.
 
Dems, Unions & high taxes, it helps the poor so much, so fine!  ;D

That is an oxymoron. All politicians want to help themselves first.
