Detroit also adopted liberal policies and had democrat leaders. If you look into it the issue its more than just manufacturing leaving. Its the political direction the city took and its policies. The great thing about the US is each state can act as a laboratory and we can watch this without infecting the rest of the country with its failed policies.

Silicon valley and Seattle WA also adopted liberal policies, are both became booming centers of industry while Detroit sank. Obviously it's bigger than policy, and more due to industrial trends. Both Seattle and S.F dealt more in advanced manufacturing that wasn't hit as hard. You claim it's not because of manufacturing leaving, but I just don't see good reasoning there. Red states all over the US have fared awfully, except Texas, which might as well be member of OPEC.
