That makes perfect sense. Like Drump’s apology will ever happen or mean anything.

There is no Puerto Rico "Republican" party. Angel M Cintrón Is a member of The New Progressive Party. Regardless of name, most members identify with US Republicans, but it isn't that simple. Some identify with US Democrats. It's complex.

they have been joining the current "mainland" political parties (i.e., Democratic Party, Republican Party). But for internal offices, they have their own party system in Puerto Rico.

Their current delegate (Resident Commissioner) to Congress is a Republican (for Congressional purposes) - Jenniffer González-Colón

This is no different from how Eleanor Holmes Norton is a "Democrat" and delegate from D.C. or Stacey E. Plaskett is Democrat and Delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands.

who are residents of a state and are registered to vote in those locations, and asking them TO VOTE (and at this point, NOT for 45).

for some of these groups to "figure it out".

I remember back in the '80s and how so many Haitians supported Raygun and I would even hear some call up talk radio and insult Democrats. Then AIDS hit and the GOP promptly blamed it ALL on "Haitians". That was the beginning of the end of that "relationship".

Allowing Haitian immigrants (including pregnant women and children) to drown trying to get to Florida while they still had the "wet foot dry foot" policy in place for Cuba immigrants, underscored the point.

Yet it still dragged on and continued to take time... But I think what we just saw happen in Ohio, is something that perhaps FINALLY got through to any of the "holdouts".

Never in a million years.

basically terrorized the mayor of San Juan.
