"With Puerto Rico, there will be no question she'll be leading in the popular vote."

[NewHampshireDem]

Sorry, but this bit of HRC supporter math was too good to not have its own thread.

Remember, the road to the White House goes through Puerto Rico!

How Puerto Rico goes, so goes the rest of the nation!

Puerto Rico never gave any electoral votes to any Republicans *evah*! So it's a solid lock for November.

Feel free to add your own mockery below.

1. Puerto Rico is a state Democrats have to win!

[Catch22Dem]

2. Posted by some asshat who was railing against her when she was leading

Just a disruptor. No two ways about it.

[Diane R]

3. So...how many electoral votes does Puerto Rico have? (sarcasm)

[NewHampshireDem]

4. All of them!

So there's no way Hillary can lose! IT"S HUGH!!!1!! CERIES!!11!!

5. dupe

seems to be happening a lot tonight

6. If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle

7. They are American citizens to whom Democrats have given a voice.

If Puerto Rico were enfranchised in presidential elections, it would be an easy 10 or so reliable electoral votes for Democrats.

[Liberal Gramma]

9. Enfranchised? They're not a state.

Not that we couldn't use another reliable Democratic constituency, but they have to become a state to have electoral votes.

8. and Brazil

10. The idea that PR would count more than caucus states is a teensy bit bizarre.

And the SD's aren't buying it.

It's over.

[nebula]

11. Hillary has all the delegates she needs

in the Twilight Zone.

[MonkeyFunk]

12. Democrats have said Puerto Rico counts

in choosing our nominee. what's wrong with counting their votes?

[FredScuttle]

16. Nothing at all.....but let's not pretend that PR will put Queen Hillary over the top for anything

She's already lost the delegate race, which is the only one that counts in the primaries

She will lost the popular vote, meaningless in the primaries as it is

Puerto Rico does not have electoral votes in the GE, so there goes that Hillbot argument

[SoonerPride]

17. How about we count their delegates instead?

Since those are the rules.

[AZBlue]

13. Well, it is a big state...

[Scooter24]

14. I'll be in Puerto Rico this October

while on a cruise.

Maybe I should help the cause! :D

[NJSecularist]

15. Are there any caucuses in the general election? n/t

[crimsonblue]

18. What about Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Dems Abroad?

Are they not sufficiently "american-like" ?

[NewHampshireDem]

19. Well, since some of my family is Puerto Rican, don't even play that shit on me

and as for Dems Abroad -- I am currently one, so so much for that crap, too.

The point is that it is ridiculous to make this 'electability' argument based on a voting area that has *NO* electoral votes.

[oviedodem]

20. except PR has NO say in the election
