What cognitive dissonance does Detroit suffer by voting for Romney?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

Here's a guy that wanted Detroit to go bankrupt and they vote for him anyway?

I don't get it.

1. The Republicans in Detroit are not the people who are suffering...

Seriously these are the Middle and Upper class "establishment" sheep.

6. how many Republicans even LIVE in the city as opposed to elsewhere in Wayne County anyway?

I am really astonished how Detroit-area voters were ready 4 years later to forgive Romney just for writing "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt"...when it's really Obama they have to thank.

2. News reports say turnout was very light

and that means even the wingnuts didn't think there was much there to vote for.

Santorum won the Yoopers, something that was predicted. Mitt won a squeaker in the rest of the state.

Face it, some GOPs are so self loathing they'll vote for a guy who wanted them destroyed.

5. Looks like turnout was better than in 2008

From what I can tell, the 2008 Michigan repub primary drew around 870,000 votes. This year it looks like its topping 900,000

7. I wouldn't worry about increased GOP turn out in Michigan...

given that Santorum seem dangerously close to winning.

3. Because Santorum was so much worse?

I dunno.

I don't think, in their shoes, I would have voted.

I guess when we see how many people actually voted, we'll figure out how much enthusiasm was involved.

4. What...4 to 6 hundred thousand people voted tonight....Obama will get that many votes IN Detroit

8. Did any of these turds not want Detroit to go bankrupt?

That would be news to me.
