Regarding Puerto Rico, I’m quoting you here too. You strike me as someone who knows what he’s talking about.
“The so-called “conservative” PNPs have caucused with both the Dems and the GOP and “conservative” Fortuno supports Obamacare.
“Poor nonwhite peoples who speak Spanish do NOT support GOP candidates. A slight majority of PR received the WIC card and are dependent on the Commonwealth for employment (directly or indirectly). PR politics is a world onto itself, and should not be thought of as “conservative” in the sense of Anglo constitutionalist self-reliance.
“I don’t see why someone who opposes DC statehood and the continued invasion from south of our border would support PR statehood.”
Some may not like what I have to say (especially the PNP caucus here on FR, who are otherwise very nice people), but that is my opinion based upon my own experience doing work down there, talking to folks on the island on three sides of the issue, and doing my own research.
