My friends this is an opportunity for us to be proactive. Problem-the GOP is not smart enough to know that.
That’s the way I see it too. It is an opportunity for the Republicans if they knew how to seize it. If you ask your average base Republican what he thinks about Puerto Rican independence he’ll probably give you a shrug and say, “Eh, whatever. It doesn’t really matter or effect me one way or the other”. If you ask that same person what he thinks about giving Puerto Rico statehood he’ll say “Hell no!”
