inner city and the democratic party

I wonder how all those poor people could afford tickets to the city in the first place?

A nice ride on the Section 8 train. Guaranteed check and housing.

I'm thinking a bit before Section 8.

How far back do you want to go? And which poor folks? All of them? That would be a very diverse group with many different stories. Do you mean narrowed down by race? By ethnicity? By immigration? By slavery? By indentured servitude? By loss of fortune and hard luck? By ancestors who searched for a better life? By escape from the law? Your mysterious question is impossible to answer unless you flesh it out. I'm sure there will be an interesting, if not controversial, point to be made.

Hillary Rodham was once a conservative. She was "Goldwater Girl" in 64' and a supporter of Nelson Rockefeller in 68'
She left the republican party after attending the 1968 Rep Convention because of Nixon's “veiled racist invective" in order to appeal to white southerners and swing them over to the GOP.
Nixon proved this approach to be very successful - it came to be known as the "Southern Strategy."
