    This story has legs,

    In case you need to know, I received some info from the Harris campaign about the population size of Puerto Ricans in the US. These folks live in the following areas and they vote.

    Pennsylvania: 450k

    North Carolina: 100k

    Wisconsin: 65k

    Michigan: 50k

    Florida: 1.1 million

    New York: 1 million

      If they were already gonna vote for him prior to this, I doubt this one would turn the tide. Though the timing, so close to election day, is probably most important; not really enough time to purge it from their memory with the firehose of propaganda.

        You might not be able to imagine it, but I sure can. Puerto Ricans are proud of their homeland and very political. They won’t only vote against Trump, they’ll organize to do so. Here in Florida, I see Puerto Rican flags hanging off rear view mirrors all the time. Which is probably the reason why Republicans are nervous here.

          Meh, drumpf has shit on PR in the past, I have little faith that those still voting for Trump a week ago are going to change their mind now. More likely they now agree that PR is garbage and only drumpf can MIGA.

            Yah, I called bullshit on this as well and got downvoted hard. I’m not sure what people think is different about this slur, he’s only gained support with every racist remark that he’s shit out of his campaign so far.
