"Don't pay any attention to this, citizens!  It is nothing but a coincidence!  A fluke!  A statistical nothing.  We have to keep electing Democrats to run government at all levels, cuz that's the only way to have nice things and civilized cities!

That's why you should vote for Hilliary!  Cuz she's smart.  And equally important, her party--which of course you should join and contribute lotsa cash to--is led by the brightest, most enlightened thinkers, like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi!  Our policies are absolutely brilliant--which is why we have nice cities instead of the awful disasters of cities headed by Rethuglicans!
