This is what happens when the Democrats are trusted. New video from Steven Crowder at PJTV. Crowder visits some of the worst sections of Detroit in this video and the basic question -- as always -- is how did Democrats who have been in almost total control of for almost 50 years bring the city to its knees. Before the video, a quick story from Jim Geraghty at the Campaign Spot about the Michigan lieutenant governor dropping out of this year’s race for governor. Description from PJTV…

Many who voted for 0 come from countries that look like Detroit. They have no concept of what a western country should look like.

I like his reaction to being denied a loan by the bank. Instead or running out to look for a community organizing group to force the bank to give him a loan, he went to work for the bank.

The 15K per year NBA contract is pretty astounding these days. Especially for a 7 time all star.

The main reason for the decline of Detroit cannot be stated due to the PC atmosphere that exists even at FR. We ALL know what killed Detroit but don't dare say what it is. We talk in code and read between the lines.

Even a young guy like Michael Crowder knows what killed Detroit.

We don’t need to say it. John Conyers wife has been pretty open about it all along. Little things like telling construction companies that their employees are the wrong color for city contracts is pretty blatant.

Very impressive. It seems to me most of the athletes from the pre-media money era had good heads on their shoulders.

Today, we have too many immature whiners making millions.

Watch some Detroit city council meetings online with the "people" cheering while insanity ensues.

It takes quite a bit of denial to not see what killed Detroit.

Watch some youtube videos of abandoned buildings in Detroit. Beautiful homes, mansions even, left to rot.

So sad.

Based solely on this, Bing sounds pretty impressive — certainly industrious. I wish him luck!

Well he’s a true democrat, no mistake about it but he stands tall over anyone elected in Detroit in a very long time.

Detroit has greatly improved these past 35 years — or rather, sometime during the past 35 years the looks of the city have improved here and there thanks to the small-l liberal use of the wrecking ball and bulldozer. Seriously, more of Detroit has been cleared away than the aftermath of Alice Cooper’s Halloween night concerts.

The video spread I looked at a couple days ago made detroit look like it had been bombed! The city officials actually built steel scaffolding behind a front of one building to hold it up and make it appear it was a building..it was only the front.

For the 28% unemployed in Detroit I would suggest going to Mexico where automobile manufacturing experience is in great demand. To avoid taxes and such simply sneak across the border.
