I don't think the GOP was counting on any votes from Detroit.

Like the Big Windy is any better. They have their share of problems too, like a murder rate that's just as bad as Detroit, granted it's much bigger.

And?

Any big city is gonna have problems.

Chicago and Philly are violent as hell.

NYC has the stop and frisk bullshit.

I won't have live around these arrogant hypocritical fucks in their shitty little feifdoms anymore.

There may be one or two repub votes in varied areas of a given ballot even in the D! I've worked at the elections centers and have handled a few 'spoiled' ballots due to people trying to vote both dem and repub in areas on the ballot where you cannot mix the two - such as in the primaries.

We had to issue a new ballot in those cases, so I know more people are not doing the default straight dem option.

I'm sure that is exactly what the far right Repubs were thinking when they aired this ad. Contrary to popular belief, there are Republicans in Detroit, although they are certainly a minority.

What they forget is that there are a lot of Democrats and Independents in Oakland County, many who do not hate Detroit, and would really like to see things improve in the city. This type of anti-Detroit ad isn't going to turn Democrats and Independents into supporters of the Republican Party. If anything, it will cause them to be less likely to support Republicans.
