That you cannot speculate on what would island Puerto Rican voting trends would be in a new state based on mainland Hispanic voting trends. Two different animals. Puerto Ricans are socially conservative, even if fiscally liberal in some ways. Puerto Rico would be a battleground state. We have no tradition of Republican vs. Democrat voting here. Not even conservative vs. liberal. Voters are aligned here in different ways. It would be up to each party to educate and harvest those votes in the future.

Well since I didn’t make am argument based on voting trends your post is moot.
I am saying that PR offers the USA nothing. HI brought us lovely islands, AK brought us a wealth of resources. PR offers us a people who brought themselves into bankruptcy and will only make that worse. Their natural resources are paltry and we don’t need more people.
The US no longer needs to grow.
We don’t need PR in an way shape or form.
Dice adios.
Are you being paid to lie or it's a hobby? Your claim is ridiculous. Puerto Rico is a welfare state and would vote majority Democrat. You're not fooling anyone here.
The Philippines took the freedom route and couldn't be happier. The American Indian reservations gave up their autonomy in exchange for food stamps, and couldn't be unhappier. Both California and Texas with large Hispanic populations would love to leave the USA. What's in it for Puerto Rico to suddenly want to give up their autonomy?
