What do they all have in common? All ten have either never elected a Republican or have not elected one in at least 20 years. Another big shocker, our very own Newark is on that list.

1) Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn’t elected a Republican mayor since 1961;
2) Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn’t elected one since 1954;
3) Cincinnati, OH (3rd)… …………………..since 1984;
4) Cleveland, OH (4th)… …………………..since 1989;
5) Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican Mayor;
6) St. Louis, MO (6th)…. ……………………since 1949;
7) El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican Mayor;
8) Milwaukee, WI (8th)… ……………………since 1908;
9) Philadelphia, PA (9th)…………………….since 1952;
10) Newark, NJ (10th)… ……………………..since 1907.

More proof the Marxocrats and their policies are designed to make us all poor and miserable.

Democrats suck. Ho hum. Film @ 11.

And nearly all of these cities have lost significant populations - showing that NO ONE wants to live in a socialist workers paradise...

[ScottMerge]

It’d be good to have some numbers and statistics, Dem policies that may have caused those cities financial problems, etc. Does anyone have that?

[Salvey]

Most of them have something else in common...but, heck, we won’t go there.

Miami is #5...?

Seems a little odd. There’s lots of money in Miami.

[jimpick]

Might also be nice to have the high point of the cities population to compare when it started to decline. I think it was in the late 1950’s for detroit.

Baltimore must be #11

Spreading the wealth? =.=

Posted before, and the list is wrong. The City of Miami has a Republican Mayor currently, just elected last November.

I would have guessed Memphis at 11 but I’m sure the top 20 has them both securely planted.

Libtard crotchfruit FAIL ping.

The Bluff City, armpit of the south.

I lived in my truck in Milwaukee and worked the projects as roving maintenance, which was a little dangerous, the town was a little sleazy but it had a kind of beery charm.

LOL, as far as I am concerned Baltimore is #1, this place is a shit hole.

There is lots of money...along the coast, but when you go inland a few miles into Little Haiti and the various public housing projects, it’s like Detroit with palm trees.

[Mister Muggles]

Let me guess...their political leadership is dominated by Swedish-Americans?

[TypeZoNegative]

Oh, you mean like Murderapolis and Slay Paul?

What all those cities have in common besides for El Paso is that their weather sucks and people are no longer tough enough to stand a winter in those cities. It seems as though wearing a thick, winter parka’s “uncool” with certain urban thinking folks.
