St. Louis is not bankrupt, but like almost every major US city, it is run exclusively by Democrats and has been for a while, which means they spend 10 times more than needed to do anything. St. Louis has lost population no doubt but has actually gained a little back lately. It is not a fair comparison to Detroit. St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville and Nashville are pretty much all the same city.
Detroit is in a class by itself.
OK this again ... yes find some convoluted way to blame democraps ...
Missouri is republican, and has been republican for the last 20 years atleast. That makes even the democraps in the state very republican. Like a montana democrat, is pro gun, pro life, pro small govt and anti federal govt ... isn't that called well ... republican ...
Any state that has gone for 1 party in the last 4-5 cycles in presidential is that party's state. A NJ republican to the left of is a montana democrat ... Missouri and St Louis are republican in the national sense.
If a state is a flip flopper, OK I'd say no its not a red or blue for sure.
Memphis as well, TN is deep red ... and you should have a gun in Memphis, the criminals do, they have the second amendment and the NRA helping them ...
Cool.
