“Not to worry brownsfan, P’burgh will beat Cleveland and Detroit to the bottom ...”

That’s really sad. I had no idea things were that bad in Pittsburgh.

I clearly have a problem with free trade with unequal partners. I also have a problem with those who find nothing special in being an American when it comes to neighbors needing a job, but find much glory in their sons going off to war.
The conservative way is right, minus the bogus globalists. The thing Pittsburgh, Detroit and Cleveland have in common is they are Democrat strongholds. Democrats ruin what they touch. I just hope Hillary! only gets one term.

True. Where there is great wealth, it sometimes takes a long time for the Democrats to squander it, but eventually they do.

Allegheny County, the county surrounding P'burgh had a brief experiment with being run by Republicans in the late '90's, but since the Republicans were actually Republicrats, it didn't last long since the results were identical. The city of P'burgh last had a Republican mayor in the '20's, I believe, and since there really is no Republican party, the races are all settled with the Democrat primary.
