This guy is so stupid, why a phone? They are trackable, useless if locked, and have little resale value.

Sane people don't do crimes. That's mostly a province of diseased minds, whether it's just a thug stealing goods he cannot resell easily or the executives of Enron.
pull the simcard, factory reset, voila!, sell phone for money.
Why go through all that work? Like legit, armed robbery in most jurisdiction carries a minimum 5 year sentence with most getting anywhere from 10-20 years, prepaid phones on average are $90-$150 and ones that go higher in value typically only keep that price if they were made within the year of the theft, the guy is hoping to luck out here for pennies on the dollar.
The risk/reward scale this guy has is just plain nuts.

Something like 1-2% of crime leads to an arrest in Chicago these days. All crime, so low impact crime like theft under a thousand from a mugging doesn't even get looked at. With gun laws a strict as they are in cities for concealed carry, it makes armed mugging very safe for the criminals, few people are fighting back against a man with a gun and the police aren't going bother unless there is a body on the ground.

Looking at the last couple elections and recalling that these cities are the center and linchpin of their power. Did they really? Or were they just the first to suffer from some 'fortification?

Course they do. Why wouldn't they? All their media tells them that Republican politics will hurt them, won't actually solve crime, and will just empower a bunch of evil racists who hated MLK and want to reinstate slavery.
Besides, it's not like the Republican Party is really trying over there. They have just retreated to suburban and rural areas.

Sadly true.
Also sadly true, and more evidence of just how stupid the GOP is/has become. Or a hint at just how much the whole thing is a shell game, played by elites in both parties.

Retreating to rural areas was the main GOP strategy since the Nixon days. The idea was that they couldn't see themselves winning against the Dems among urban voters, especially the black and educated ones, so they now rely entirely on rural voters. Especially the Southern ones who still resent the Emancipation Proclamation.
It's...not a bad strategy. But it has an obvious weakness.

I'm sorry, but where are you pulling this idea from?
Because last I checked, Republicans campaign in cities, too.

Not to mention that the Emancipation Proclamation was put in place by Lincoln, a member of the GOP.
