"Every year, tens of thousands of Puerto Rican arrivals, fleeing the economic collapse of their island, register to vote there, and they are stridently Democratic (and there is not enough population growth in the backwoods of Jacksonville or Pensacola to counter this shift). The Washington Post had a very good article about this not too long ago......
Nice article, but as your comment alludes to, this line is a tad misleading:

"Puerto Rican voters tend to lean Democratic ... "
A bit of an understatement, methinks. Puerto Ricans "lean" Democratic in the same way that black voters do. Republicans only have slightly worse prospects among Puerto Ricans than Democrats have among Mormons and Southern Baptists.
This is especially true in swing states that are critical to being elected president and Hilary is talking about confiscation.
I pray she runs on gun control, all it does is help republicans.
Including Virginia (which thoroughly rebuked their Governor's attempt to pass gun control). The original poster in this thread, when I brought that up, simply dismissed it.

Yep, especially considering Bloomberg spent millions trying to get anti gun politicians elected.
Still waiting for a solid republican answer on how they can win the presidential race. Day 2.
I have heard the Bengazi angle brought up, but they beat that dead horse weeks ago. The last 2 hours was Hillary looking like the wicked witch in a alternate version of the Wizard of OZ where the wicked witch wins. All that was left was for her to cackle and get on her broom stick and fly out of the hearing.
Face it she won your guys threw the kitchen sink at her and didn't even dent her teflon complexion.
Hear lots of chatter about Virginia still being a Red State but not buying it. The republicans have not won a Senate, Governor, or presidential campaign in 8 years. During this time the democratic margin of victory has increased.
400k Puerto Ricans in Florida who will vote against the Donald Trump party doesn't help in a very swingy state.

The ability to read is a fundamental skill. To help you out, I made the operative text bold. Bellhead is right, IN VIRGINIA, the Republicans have not won a Senate, Governor, or presidential campaign in 8 years.

When did Kentucky become part of the state of Virginia?
Michigan and Pennsylvania are TOSS UPS at the moment.
Best joke of the day. Both are solid blue states.
