It’s a cookbook.
Liberals never learn.
He doesn’t have 38 states that will vote for it and he knows it.
Texas has the right to divide itself into 5 states. It was a condition of its admission. Now wouldn’t that be fun.
Puerto Rico has elected Republicans as their Delegate to the House, and Republican governors in the past. It may not necessarily be automatic that they would elect Democrats.
DC cannot be a state per the Constitution. They would need to stack the courts first to get more judges who will ignore it.
Puerto Rico has waited long enough for it’s independence.
It is time for Puerto Rico to finally meet its long longed for goal of joining the family of nations as a full equal.
If you dig into Puerto Rican politics....there’s a minimum of four political parties that openly campaign. Two, I would regard as right-of-center. One is in existence to be the anti-state party, and the fourth is fairly near the Democratic Party.
If you use the last election (for governor)...the two right-of-center parties pulled near 55-percent of the vote combined. If you figured House districts....PR would get 3-to-4 (3.2 million in population).
PR statehood was an election year gag that he stuffed into AOC’s mouth.
that chick got used like the big tipping customer that took her back to his volvo after her shift at applebee’s was over.
Yeah, Puerto Rico isn’t 100% a slam dunk for Democrats like D.C.
RE: It is time for Puerto Rico to finally meet its long longed for goal of joining the family of nations as a full equal.
Sure, but everytime there’s a chance for them to vote for independence, they continue voting for the status quo. Go figure!
DC should be ceded back to the states from which it came.
He will always be ‘Chuck U’ to me.
what did the republicans trade him behind our backs? It will be at our expense, of course! But what “EXACTLY” did they trade away and for?
Golly. I hope the proponents aren’t disappointed. I mean, being rats, they lie all the time. surely they can’t be surprised Schumer was just pretending to support statehood as a political ploy
AOC and the SQUAT want to make Puerto Rico a state because it will easily be more infiltrated by Communist Cuba (Castro and Raul were behind most of the terrorist groups and acts from the 1960’s onward), Venezuela and perhaps Russia and Red China.
Puerto Rican voters are not the most educated but most are loyal to America and the reds have worked long and hard to change it. AOC is their “Great White Hope” to restart the ball. Schumer knows that he is caught in the middle but that the rest of NY State wants his balls on a string, not PR as a state, and that guides his political ambition to be president before he dies (May God speed that up!).
Interesting.
