        If the residents of Puerto Rico had any brains they would relocate to the continental US so they could vote in the next presidential election and make their presence known.

        They hold primary elections and have delegates to the Conventions that must vote for their party's primary winner, so they have minimal input. I thought it was more. Thanks for the correction.

        You can't screw over Puerto Rico any more than it has already been screwed over by Trump.

        At a time when these fellow Americans need our help, the GOP screws them. I’m ashamed of the direction this country has taken, but sadly, not surprised.

        Of course it does! And it screws over all the states too. And 98 percent of the people.

        Corporations are already making record profits, lowering their tax will not make them bring the job back to the United States, When they can go to a tax haven country and pay 0 tax that is what for profit corporation do maximize their profit - so you know http://www.soyouknow.info/blog/goptaxcut

        What a surprise. All because they are brown and lower income and can't vote.
