LIBRE PUERTO RICO!

Past time to dump this last “colony”.
Puerto Rico is an economic and infrastructural basket case, and the damn Puerto Ricans are to blame. Maybe Spain would take them back!

The GWU method of analysis can be put other uses. For example, if we look at the murder rate in ‘Rat-controlled cities vs. GOP same, we can assert, per GWU, that ‘Rat mayors are guilty of genocide.

It’s “not a successful relationship”?

I haven’t studied this much but my initial reaction is, if you hate the US and its money so much, maybe it’s time to let it go. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Perhaps I’m wrong.

There is no reason to underscore the tragedy

There is also no reason to exaggerate its extent.

Oh wait. Yes there is ...

This same science has long been used to prove the increased birth rate that follows extended periods of power outage.

Comparing one period of time to another lacks all semblance of scientific control.

This is another perfect example of proofs based on lies, then, damn lies, and, finally, statistics.

Trump bhas access to info that we, including journalists, don’t.

Of course it’s all politics and why no republican is going to go down this path with the President. Campaigning is one thing with constantly counter-punching, but the more attention to death counts they can get the President to tweet about the better for them. Every single democrat says it shows the President is heartless and cruel with no empathy and there is tons of material for them on how bad the island still is...In politics the truth takes a back seat...This is basically a Charlottesville trap...it’s meant for democrats and their base and doesn’t get Trump one more vote.

The tragedy is an island in the path of so many Gulf hurricanes was not prepared. They compounded the tragedy themselves by not distributing aide to the people.

Exactly correct . It is a quicksand topic.
Trump needs to talk about the Economy not some year old storm stats.

Loosen your grip on the pearls...This will not cost Trump one vote. For the media/left, every day is filled with “15 minutes of hate.” Trump supporters have tuned these 5th columnists out for the past 2 years.

“In the meantime, I hope you consider sending a message of support to show you stand with all of the US Citizens in Puerto Rico that lost loved ones"

Trump should call his bluff.

Trump should ask Rosello to come up with a list of names of those that died because of hurricane Maria, and then have members of Trump's staff interview each of those family members.

FACT is that, the number that died is a fictitious number, about fictitious dead people. Have Rosello and democrats create the list, but not with fictitious names, and then prove that those people were victims of hurricane Maria.

In any case, the people that died, whatever the number, all died because of Rosello's and liberal/socialist policies on the island. IOW, it wasn't Trump that made created the conditions for people to die in the hurricane; it was the democrats who have blood on their hands.

We need to turn this story around on the democrats.

Florida has become the test case for the open borders democrats and rinos. If these relocated citizens from PR can flip Florida, then Sherrod Brown’s dream of blanket amnesty can be used to flip other red states. Sherrod Brown told me several years ago we need to do blanket amnesty first, then we can decide how high to build a wall and how many border patrol people we need. I told him he was f$@?#@g insane.

Folks....the Island of Puerto Rico would have been totally destroyed if it were not for POTUS, Doanld J. Trump. Both The Democrat, Governor & the Mayor of San Juan cannot find their way to the nearest restroom, unless it is crammed with criminals and cheats.

The Island is not there yet, but...it is light years better then it ever was...thanks to POTUS, DJT and the State of Florida, that assisted so many hurricane refugees from PR.

Just remember Puerto Ricans, PR is an Island in the sea. You were saved because POTUS, Trump opened your airports and sea ports and ordered massive USA Navy and Air Force support to sustain the Island in crisis. Your beloved Democrat Governor & Communist Mayor of San Juan...did absolutely “ZILCh” to save you other then destroying the integrity of your electrical power grid across the island prior to the arrival of hurricane “Maria”. I am simply calling a spade, a spade!!! God Bless POTUS, DJT!!!

Take the media to the woodshed every day. Every.Single.Day.

I don't care if they cut down every branch on every tree, take the media to the woodshed every day.

Puerto Rico is a corrupt third world sh*thole. We should just cut them loose and let their corrupt @sshole politicians take full responsibility.

Just cut them loose.

"comparing estimates of typical non-disaster death rates over six months to the actual mortality rate in Puerto Rico six months after the storm"

This is a non-starter.

And it comes from GWU, the party school that Tuck Chodd flunked out of.

“Puerto Rico’s governor”

It’s almost impossible to underscore what a tragedy she is to the PR peoples.

“Puerto Rico’s governor to Trump: ‘No reason to underscore the tragedy’”

Somebody lied a-hole, and obviously it wasn’t the President.
