Not in Cincinnati, we’ve basically had five days of rioting in East Price Hill here. The city is spiralling out of control again ala 2000. And of course its Democrat controlled...

Might be a bloodbath for the November elections.

I don’t think all the illegals, multiple votes, and election ballot recounts can help them this time around.

These numbers have to be a bit premature. As we know in Ohio the only time you can change your party affiliation is during the primary every two years.

The early primary voting started last week so they have to be drawing off those who have voted early. I would suspect this would be a very small figure.

A proper analogy for this phenomenon would be the water receding from the beaches after an undersea earthquake....and before the tsunami hits.

I grew up there but now live in the country in an adjacent county. Price Hill was a poor blue collar neighborhood that was decimated by Section 8.

And now it has very different demographics...

Better switch or they just might be under the communists Muslim King Obama and his communists Administration. Stay with the Democratic Party is suicide.

Let’s hope so. I don’t want dimoKKKRATS and the msm swinging the balance in order to select or candidates.

They shouldn’t be rioting because that’s a neighborhood with utopian diversity!

Thanks for the link.

Generally speaking, voters flock to where the action is. Here in heavily Democrat CA, I think we will actually see MORE Republicans come to the polls on primary day in June because the Republicans are having spirited contests in their US Senate and governors primaries, whereas Boxer and Jerry Brown are running unopposed in their respective primaries.
