Interesting.

How many cities have Republican mayors?

We know many big cities have been run by Democrats for decades.

We’ll see if Erie goes GOP for the first time in over 50 years. That could signal some political realignments going on out there in “deplorable” America.

Local Republicans seem to be doing well. The national Republicans are a bunch of losers.

Exactly. I've read that PA going for Trump was very much due to 100,000 or more urban blacks staying home compared to 2012, but a win here might very well mean that black turnout numbers in 2008 and 2012 were outliers rather than baseline.

...

Very few. Liberals concentrate in the cities.

An example is Texas which is a Conservative state with liberal cities.

I was born and grew up in Erie, can’t remember a GOP mayor in my lifetime, (born in 1959). Left there 41 years ago but visited there this summer, definite change in attitude and political climate, even my brother, (life long dem voter), supported and voted for Trump. There’s a change afoot.
