And what the hell are you doing about it??? Instead of political pandering, get off your lazy ass and starting unblocking aid packages, call in top electrical designers, and start rebuilding a SMART grid to give these suffering Americans their lives back!!

Chucky boy. PR is BROKE. Did all that debt arise under Trump or Obama?? Yeah! Stop your lies. Try telling the the truth for a change! Maybe you will like it!

Actually PR’s problems date back to the Nixon Admin. The GOP sent the island up as a corporate tax haven to spur pharmaceutical companies to open plants there. They’ve been screwed over for decades by both sides.

Good answer. But how long have the DEMS been in power there please?

Twitter doesn’t allow enough characters to thoughtfully discuss this complex issue. There’s tons of fantastic info that look at this in depth.https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-puertorico-economy/ …

Moving forward, what shall we do now? The entire electrical system needs to be replaced. Start over. I keep thinking the lure of investors for an American resort island after the people move is why nothing is done.

Congress has already approved mitigation funding to strengthen the grid. Here in the US Virgin Islands we are already using that money to bury feeder lines and use stronger poles where we can't bury cable. Can't speak for PR's progress, but I know they got similar funding.

Senator, this is devastating, but more devastating is that it was easily predicable by people on the ground, like
@CarmenYulinCruz She begged for help and said this WOULD happen. Yet, Congress and the White House failed and are still failing.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Schumer’s speech on floor of senate on Oct 22, 2017 demanded that Trump appoint CEO of Response & Recovery for Puerto Rico. That would compensate for Trump’s managerial incompetence. Media focused on Trump feud with mayor. Dem Leaders get little airtime.http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/356617-schumer-wants-ceo-of-response-and-recovery-for-puerto-rico?amp …

@SenSchumer You &@SenatorMenendez should be ashamed of yourselves for spewing invidious tweets. Docks were knocked out & airports were not fully functional. Everyone knew the substandard conditions in PR before the hurricane. But then along comes Trump & now you care? No!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

And nowhere in your gentlemanly tweet do you mention Trump's failure. You need to up your game a lot if Dems are going to defeat the Trump machinehttps://goo.gl/4McFKP

“Up your game”? Lol.... it will never happen. Even millennial snowflakes r switching to R by 10 points in 90 days. The Dems response? Submit a tax increase plan to run on for midterms lol!!!!! DemoNcrats are lunatics n so so out of touch.

Didn't see or hear you out doing anything to help. You expect the little people to do all the dirty work than complain if things don't go right. And whose job is it to get the money there to do the work, yours, and why not check into the corruption afterwards like hoarding !?
