>How in any way is this relevant? It's not. Furthermore, city boundaries are often gerrymandered to either turn their suburbs blue or be turned red by their suburbs so. Some cities absorb their suburbs, some don't. Then on top of that you've got moderate D's who can pass as an R if they shut their mouths on certain topics running on the R ticket because that's the only way to challenge the incumbent. So not only is the distinction needlessly divisive but it's such a high noise metric it's not useful for anything ever anyway.
