Puerto Rican GOP voters merely rubber stamp, (into the 80% or 90% vote level), the man who is annointed by the GOP Official RINO-dom elite on the mainland of the USA, and seem to exercise very little independent thinking. They did this in the past three or four presidential election cycles, so this voting behavior has remained consistent.
This same voting behavior applies to all of the other U.S. territories, too.
They have been thinking independently enough for quite a while to make the decision NOT to become a state and not to have share the tax-paying burden and yet to still receive sizable handouts from the US taxpayer, not the least of which is full military protection.
We ought to cut all ties with PR, as far as I’m concerned.
