Puerto Rico has ZERO electoral votes

[rightwinger]

The massive garbage problem is a fact, but the joke was in the delivery, first conjuring up the image of a floating pile of garbage in the ocean and then revealing it is Puerto Rico. If anyone should be insulted by this joke, it is the government of Puerto Rico or perhaps the Biden - Harris administration which has neglected it, but there is nothing in the post derogatory about the Puerto Rican people, as you well know.

Nice try

But I doubt any Puerto Rican is buying it

And?

Their votes don't exist.

The main thesis of this thread seems to be that it's ok to be racist as long as you don't let that race vote.

Puerto Ricans are mostly Caucasian in case you didn't know.

 

[rightwinger]

If they are Puerto Ricans, they cannot vote for President. They have no electoral votes. In NY, they can only vote if they are registered in NY, which means they are New Yorkers, not Puerto Ricans as far as voting is concerned. Trump lost nothing as he probably has no idea who that racist comedian is.

New York is Blue

Pennsylvania has a large Puerto Rican population that is proud of its heritage
As citizens, they can vote in any state they establish residency

I think Hillary would have been great and you're just jealous. Here's why I believe that.

"I think Bill Clinton was a great president,’" Trump said in the interview that was conducted shortly after the 2008 presidential election

"You know, you look at the country then. The economy was doing great. Look at what happened during the Clinton years. I mean we had no war, the economy was doing great, everybody was happy. A lot of people hated him because they were jealous as hell,’" Trump said.

The timing is important. This is after 8 years of Bush Trump said this. So clearly, we should have elected Al Gore and there is no reason to think Hillary would have been any worse than Bill Clinton, who even Trump admits was GREAT.

I see your problem; you didn't realize Bill and Hillary were two different and distinct people with vastly different skill sets. There were pluses and minuses to Bill's presidency, but no one can deny he was a very gifted politician, however nothing in Hillary's life suggested she could have a career in politics until she became a Stand by your cheating Husband when Bill was fighting against various charges, and for that show of loyalty to Bill, Democrats rewarded her with a seat in the Senate, in which she did not distinguish herself, and later Secretary of State, in which even Democratic leaders remonstrated her for using her office to enrich herself. In addition, her gross mismanagement of her 2016 campaign is which she squandered a large lead over Trump and an enormous war chest by quitting the campaign trail to party in California while Trump campaigned 20 hours a day in the key swing states showed conclusively she was not fit to be president.

At this point with Harris doing worse every day, you can only hope.

Hilary made a great Senator and Sec State
She brought more to the table than Bill

She would have made a great President

Actually the "lead up" to the joke was immigrant bashing. And that is, by itself, is quite revealing. Because Puerto Ricans aren't immigrants. Bundling them together with Hispanic immigrants simply because Puerto Ricans are also Hispanics goes to show that, for both the speaker and the attendees who ate it up, it's the racism that motivates them.

In what ways did she distinguish herself in either job? Hillary was not a leader, her whole career was based on being Bill's wife.

Hillary would have run the country just like Bill. And Michelle Obama will run it like Barrack in 2032

More Puerto Ricans live in the US than Puerto Rico

It also demonstrates the disdain Republicans have towards Hispanics

Garbage

Puerto Rico generates around 1.3 billion pounds of trash each year. According to the article nearly 85% of its landfills are at saturation levels. Trash is a known issue in Puerto Rico. That was the context of the joke. (I'm guessing you already know this)

Now, regardless it was a tasteless joke at political convention of all things. Its not even funny in a comedy club because most people aren't aware of the waste issues in Puerto Rico. Who ever hired this comedian should be fired from Trump's campaign. Its a huge misstep for a campaign that has been run well.

btw, I'm 50% Hispanic AND Republican.

Nice try

Hillary was an influential Senator on several key committees
As Sec State, she rebuilt our NATO alliance and went head to head with Putin

Your turn

What national and international experience did Trump bring to the table?

Nice try
Doesn’t work

The joke was that Puerto Rico is garbage
Not that they have a landfill problem

The comedian was brought in to trash Democrats not a major constituency

Bill would have won the election in 2016, but Hillary blew because of poor judgement.

Wow. I thought you were somewhat open to reasonable debate. Clearly not. LOL Never mind then.

Being a good candidate and being a good president are two different things. Like Trump is the king of all candidates. No one is a better candidate than candidate Trump.

"they have no electoral votes, so screw 'em?

Hillary got lots of press because she was married to Bill but accomplished nothing on her own in either job.

Bill was a leader, but Hillary was not. That's why Trump defeated her. Harris is not a leader either, and that's why Trump is defeating her. If Trump had not lost 10 days on the campaign trail in Oct to covid, he probably would have defeated Biden as well.

leadership is a quality that can't be acquired, and voters recognize it in Trump whether they like him or not.

Hillary lost because she made bad decisions during her campaign, and you can't be a good president if you make bad decisions.
