He has to write like that to reach the lowest common denominator - The
Democrats.

More likely, just another member of the Republican faithful. Haven't you
noticed how low the Republican bar is?

Not as low as democrats
What do the top ten cities with the highest poverty rate all have in common?
Democrat leadership. Isn't it amazing that for over 50 yrs now poor people
keep electing Democrats, and they are still poor! I believe it was Einstein
that said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results."
Here is the list.
Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor
since 1961;
Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954;
Cincinnati, OH (3rd)...since 1984;
Cleveland, OH (4th)...since 1989;
Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican Mayor;
St. Louis, MO (6th)....since 1949;
El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican Mayor;
Milwaukee, WI (8th)...since 1908;
Philadelphia, PA (9th)...since 1952;
Newark, NJ(10th)...since 1907.
It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats - yet they are still
disadvantaged...hmmm.

Sorry, but you guys take the cake for viciousness, particularly mindless
viciousness.

Now, why in the world would a poor urban person vote for a Republican?
Republicans have been skewering their policies toward the wealthiest
that it has become quite obvious as to which party is closest to their
interests. This is just another red herring. A misdirection just the
same as why do something about global warming when you can dither. The
same approach the Tobacco companies used.
A better question is why do Republicans think the economy does better
under Republican leadership. Under any measure the economy fares
better under Democrats:

I call to your attention a study done in December 2006 by Elliott
Parker, Ph.D., who is a Professor of Economics at the University of
Nevada-Reno. Using data from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of
Economic Analysis, Dr. Parker first compared the economic performance of
Republican and Democratic presidencies from 1929 through the end of
2005. He found that the Real GDP Growth Rate (annual average) was 1.9%
for Republican administrations and 5.1% for Democratic administrations
during this time. Real GDP Growth Rate Per Capita was .7% for the
Republicans and 3.8% for the Democrats. However, the professor pointed
out that the years comprising the Great Depression and WWII should
probably be excluded from the comparison. So economic performance from
1949 (end of Truman administration) to 2005 was compared, which showed
Real GDP Growth Rate (annual average) under Republican administrations
now stood at 2.9% and Democratic administrations at 4.2%. Real GDP
Growth Rate Per Capita was 1.7% for the Republicans and 2.9% for the
Democrats. These results prompted Dr. Parker to conclude that “the
economy has grown significantly faster under Democratic administrations,
and more than twice as fast in per-capita terms.”
The University of Nevada-Reno economics professor also uncovered the
following while conducting the economic comparison between Republican
and Democratic presidential administrations from 1949 to 2005:
• Unemployment Rate- Republicans 6.0%, Democrats 5.2%
• Change In Unemployment Rate- Republicans +0.3%, Democrats -0.4%
• Growth of Multifactor Productivity- Republicans 0.9%, Democrats 1.7%
• Corporate Profits (share of GDP)- Republicans 8.8%, Democrats 10.2%
• Real Value of Dow Jones Index- Republicans 4.3%, Democrats 5.4%
(in logarithmic growth rates)- Republicans 2.8%, Democrats 4.4%
• Real Weekly Earnings- Republicans 0.3%, Democrats 1.0%
• CPI Inflation Rate- Republicans 3.8%, Democrats 3.8%
The whole point of this is that "Trickle Down" in any flavor does not
work and never has. And that *deficits* really do matter.
Now there's no way I will ever convince you of that, and that's
because Republicans are famously myopic and short sighted. The Party of
"I've got mine, screw you" has never realized that fundamentals matter.
Republicans are always so smug that they are superior that they never
stop to see just where they are going. Analysis is not something
Republicans do.
