Contrary to the emotional blackmail some leftists are attempting to peddle, Baltimore is not America’s problem or shame. That failed city is solely and completely a Democrat problem. Like many failed cities, Detroit comes to mind, and every city besieged recently by rioting, Democrats and their union pals have had carte blanche to inflict their ideas and policies on Baltimore since 1967, the last time there was a Republican Mayor.

In 2012, after four years of his own failed policies, President Obama won a whopping 87.4% of the Baltimore City vote. Democrats run the city of Baltimore, the unions, the schools, and, yes, the police force. Since 1969, there have only been only been two Republican governors of the State of Maryland.

Elijah Cummings has represented Baltimore in the U.S. Congress for more than thirty years. As I write this, despite his objectively disastrous reign, the Democrat-infested mainstream media is treating the Democrat like a local folk hero, not the obvious and glaring failure he really is.

Every single member of the Baltimore city council is a Democrat.

Liberalism and all the toxic government dependence and cronyism and union corruption and failed schools that comes along with it, has run amok in Baltimore for a half-century, and that is Baltimore’s problem. It is the free people of Baltimore who elect and then re-elect those who institute policies that have so spectacularly failed that once-great city. It is the free people of Baltimore who elected Mayor Room-To-Destroy.

I am randomly curious what you believe Republicans would have done differently?  Especially if it was a Republican who was also a minority?  Are there any cities in the U.S. that have a majority minority population that are run by Republicans and have a great outcome?

Just curious.

What Republicans would have done is irrevalent.  The facts are that Democrats have controlled Baltimore's government for almost 50 years and now the population is a black majority.  Obviously, something is not working.  If anything is to be done differently, it will have to be done by Democrats.  I doubt many Republicans will ever be elected by a majority minority electorate.

No, I think what Republicans would have done is quite relevant, since you are making the argument that it is because of Democratic leadership that things are as bad as they are in Baltimore.  So I want to know what Republicans would have done. 

I think that you are following an extreme notion that minorities ONLY vote Democratic.
