It'll make more sense if we frame it more accurately:
"We've been at the bottom of the league with Mike Finley as our #1 guy! Get us a new #1 guy. "
Of course there are always lots of factors, but no team with Mike Finley as their #1 guy is going to get far out of the cellar. It's not Mike Finley's fault - he just doesn't have the tools. It's probably more correct to say it's the fault of whoever would keep building a team with Mike Finley as the #1 guy. In the end, in the late 90's, it didn't really matter who's fault it was, the undeniable fact was that the Mavs needed a new #1 guy.

Trade out a Democrat for a Republican and you're still going to have all the same problems that lie beyond the mayor's control...

You cannot say that unless you've actually tried something other than Democrat, and for those cities on the list they haven't (at least haven't for a long, long time).
