Hey, if we keep going we can catch up to Obama’s 57.

Hmmm, let's see. In addition to Puerto Rico, ¡Yeb! can announce statehood support for:

That's still one short, so he can fly out to Johnston Atoll and announce he's moving there. Then he can include that in his list.

Nice flag, too!

Like Aaron Burr, Jeb may be planning to carve out his own country somewhere on the frontier ...

Naa... I think he is just more honest.

The others just lied and told us what we wanted to hear.

I don’t know much about this issue, but am wondering if we can afford it? We are like way too far in debt!

Except that every time the issue comes up Puerto Ricans say NO! to statehood.

Right now it’s as if he thinks all of his little visits to fringe groups can be compartmentalized, with the general voter population safely blocked from his outrageous statements.

The enemedia will block a substantial number (those to whom ABCNNBCBS are the sole news source) from them, up until the point that he is opposing Hillary.

Which is why the next time they will have only two choices, statehood or independence.

That should put Jeb in the lead to be committed to the nut house.

A third world slum with a handful of historic architecture and some nice beaches where the majority of the population is on public assistance? Yeah, let’s let them in Juan Elio Bush.

For the same reason Mrs. Bill “I sold missile-guidance technology to the ChiComs” Benghazi Clinton wants D.C. to become a state...

To give the Democrats more Representatives and Senators.

Jeb Bush reaffirms his support for Puerto Rico to become 51st state

Every few years, Puerto Rican voters get to vote on this issue.

Usually less than 5% cast their ballots for independent-nation status (think; avowed Communist, Luis Gutierrez in Chicago).

A small percentage vote for statehood, but the vast majority vote to continue the Commonwealth status.

The vote is not binding on the US, but is designed to show the will of the Puerto Rican people.

Jeb wants to shove statehood down their throats. I guess that's just his style of leadership.
