Puerto Rico Primary Results ? 2016 Election

They vote in the primaries, which are a part of our federal elections.

"Like other territories, Puerto Rico can participate in the presidential primary process. It holds a primary election in the spring of each presidential election year. Then the parties choose delegates to the Republican and Democratic National Convention, who are pledged to vote at that convention for the winners of Puerto Rico's primary"

Neither does Louisiana by your standard. Some states leach off the other states as well. federal largesse is not equally distributed.

^^^ Truth

Most Southern states leech off the federal government while states like California & New York have billions in surpluses that the Southern States leech off of while talking shit about us :1orglaugh

You are wrong. They do not vote in the election.

You are talking about the primaries, where the parties pick their nominees to run for President. They do not take vote in electing the President itself.

It's a little sad and amusing to me that the people of Puerto Rico get to vote in the presidential primary election, but as a registered independent I don't.

Because as far as Trump is concerned, they're dirty Puerto Ricans.

Puerto Rico contributes absolutely nothing to human society.

The whole island could sink into the ocean and the world wouldn't even notice.

So it's basically a tax haven for the rich to avoid paying taxes. The rich get richer living on an island that gives them huge tax breaks on a personal and business level while the rest of the island continues to live in poverty.

Puerto Rico exports $66 billion worth of goods to America every year and makes $2 billion in tourism every year. That's not bad for 3.4 million people that populate Puerto Rico.

Primaries are part of the party nominating process.

They also don't need a passport or VISA to leave devastated Puerto Rico and settle on the American mainland which they've been doing by the thousands the last few weeks :winkwink:

They vote in the primaries, not the elections. They can vote on the nominees, but cannot vote in the general election to select the President.

The Business Insider article you posted says Hillary won the nomination in Puerto Rico.

Voting on the nominee is part of the election Rochard. Puerto Rico impacts our elections by voting for the nominee.

Can they vote in national elections?

You might think so, given that they are citizens, but on the biggest stage, the answer is no. Puerto Rico has no representation in the Electoral College, so its people cannot vote in general presidential elections unless they establish residency in one of the 50 states. It does, however, have a say in presidential nominations: Last year, Marco Rubio won the Republican primary there, and Hillary Clinton won the Democratic primary.

And it will cost $96 billion to completely rebuild Puerto Rico - approximately $6400 per tax payer in the US. That is twice the entire foreign aid the US gives out in any given year.

So while Puerto Rico might be a territory they arent really the same as a state and its citizens arent on the same footing as US citizens.

Would you agree to cut all foreign aid to all other countries for 2 years so we can rebuild Puerto Rico, since in essence its still a foreign country. They could take the $96 billion and vote to be an independent country once the rebuilding is complete and there is nothing we could do about it.
That more or less says it all. Pay more taxes to help PR.

Is that what the moaners want to do?

Barry-xlovecam 10-13-2017 05:44 AM
Mississippi contribute very little to the US economy compared to most other states. Maybe, we should divest ourselves of some of the weaker states that are LOSERS! too.

In fact there are maybe a dozen states we should get rid of that cost more than they contribute.

A role in selecting a nominee for the election is not the election, dumb ass. You were wrong from the very beginning, are still wrong and will stay that way. You are like Markham, constantly running off at the mouth about shit that you are ignorant of.
