View Poll Results: Were Trump's Tweets Attacking Puerto Rico Justified?
YES. San Juan Mayor Carmen Cruz's comments against Trump were exaggerated and she deserved a harsh reply. 105 36.71%
NO. Trump's tweets were heartless and mean, given that many PR residents have no water, food, gas, cell phone service, and no medical supplies. 181 63.29%
Voters: 286. You may not vote on this poll

Texas is 39.1% Hispanic and 42.6% white only. Interesting choice of screen name, spreadofknowledge

I was thinking in terms of a bedpan, but you're on the right track.

As much as some people want to believe it, Twitter rants are not actually doing anything to help.

An acquaintance of mine posted this same nonsense earlier today. But he also posted a "story" about how BigFoot was found washed up on the shore of a lake in Arizona. So gullible. It's amazing.

That logic is not intelligent, that's naive. Latin-American politicians, if they're not just bumbling incompetent idiots, are notorious corrupt. I wouldn't put it passed a PR mayor.
No, not at all. Plenty of corruption around - I'm not sure how you took that from what I wrote, but OK...


I find it hard to believe that THIS is the time they would pick to play political games. I'm sorry, but I find that hard to believe considering the circumstances. And I'd need to see more legitimate proof than to jump to those kind of conclusions.
