        They consistently vote against their own interests and then want the rest of us to bail them out, good luck with that.

        Unfortunately a lot of people don’t care about those parts of the cities. Or so it seems.

        I thought that they are “small government “ folks. They don’t believe government welfare, free hung out. They need to pull themselves by the booth straps. Oh , I see they are white , so they deserve it , they earn it.

        How will they fix a drug problem, more arrests? Longer sentences? Yeah right, just legalize all drugs, that’s how you fix the drug problem

        Don't remember a single story during the 80s about how black people deserved more federal govt help when the crack epidemic was devastating the inner cities.

        Democrats always seem to forget to campaign in rural areas. The main strategy of the @DNC has been to campaign in urban areas and upper middle class suburban neighborhoods. That really isn’t classified information. For the trolls and the idiots who like them.

        “Global village” effectively destroyed communication, and community locally.
