Democrats urge Senator Franken to quit amid groping claims

"The facts show that the standards of living are better in Democratic run states."

One of those bullshit claims that Democrats throw around in their echo chamber, but never back up with actual stats.

First of all, note the dishonest deflection from cities to states. "Look at the big cities" becomes "Democratic run states", as if he's actually addressing the point.

Secondly, your claim doesn't fit the statistics:

Best-Run States Are Heavily Republican, Study Finds

The ten most financially sound states in the country are all heavily Republican, while all but one of the ten worst states are heavily Democratic. That’s according to a ranking of states in a new report from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University
The report -- “Ranking the States by Fiscal Condition” -- used official government data to measure the states’ ability to pay short-term bills and meet longer-term obligations, such as public pensions or health care costs, using five separate measures.

Red state economies based on energy extraction, agriculture and suburban sprawl may have lower wages, higher poverty rates and lower levels of education on average than those of blue states — but their residents also benefit from much lower costs of living. For a middle-class person , the American dream of a big house with a backyard and a couple of cars is much more achievable in low-tax Arizona than in deep-blue Massachusetts. As Jed Kolko, chief economist of Trulia, recently noted, housing costs almost twice as much in deep-blue markets ($227 per square foot) than in red markets ($119).

I am sorry, but unless you have been very few places in this country,you would know that one of the legit knocks with democrats is how poorly cities and states are run with them in charge. Thats not to say there are not rich people areas to live that are ok. But for lower middle class to the poor, not great at all, particularly the poor who are stuck in a cycle of poor schools, poor employment opportunities and assistance programs that exacerbate the problem and politicians that take advantage of these people to stay in charge while doing little for them.
