To me its pretty clear the goal of the Left in all of this is to turn all the residents of Puerto Rico into refugees and have them flee the island for Florida in order to vote there and hand the Dems the Presidency in 2020. It's cold-blooded murder and criminal obstruction through denial of relief, but thats the game plan.
Given what we know about the Left, it's impossible to think that there can't possibly be a grain of truth in that theory -- the "refugee" part, at least. I know I saw a version of the Florida-voter angle in the first couple of days.
I have no doubt.
I also think they have the same game plan for Venezuela. You probably know the situation is dire down there as well, although for different reasons.
