But the island keeps voting Democrats into power.....
Puerto Rico depends on US money for its massive social programs that keep the people living a meager existence. Those that have jobs do well, but Democratic policies have driven many businesses away.
I believe that Puerto Rican voters (and Jamaicans and others) can be Republicans if we reach out to them. We never reach out to them and we need to. Another group we need to get is the youth. Right now, the media is saying they want Bernie, but is it really what they want?
