He could have stopped and many people would have gotten his point, instead he acted the fool and lost almost everyone.
most of us think PR should be a state- and this is the perfect example- the local govt does stink and now is the perfect time to create a new state- most PRicans want that but now they will be in Fl or NY etc -
And most of us do NOT think as he does- we know the problems but his solutions are ludichrist

Creative headline to support a political agenda. nothing to see here unless propaganda is someone's favorite news source used as escapism in place of the comic pages.
Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Comcast, Disney, ESPN, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, Washpo, etc. All liars. All propaganda 24/7 for the Democrats. Far left lies. It's just what they do.

All drunken parties end with a hangover as reality sets in. The liberal utopian idea is just a figment of their imagination.

If I were Trump, I would have used this opportunity to try and push for Puerto Rico to be a state. He would have had all those extra millions of votes come 2020 election. Heck, the republicans could have gotten every Puerto Rican vote for the next 200 years.

Anyone media source that disagrees with you is a liar. And that's a fact. Right?

The Economist had an interesting opinion article last week about gun control, but also made broader points about this type of thinking.

people who believe guns make America safer, among other fallacies, display a strain of superstition that has always existed in American politics, on the right and the left, but which in recent decades has concentrated on the right, and now threatens to subsume it. Its proponents, who the authors call “intuitionists”, understand the world on the basis of feelings and gut instinct, not doctrine or empirical facts, even when confronted with them.
Food for thought.

A gun could be used to make my home or family safer if the unlikely situation were to occur.

Like insurance, a gun is something you hope to never use but don't want to be without if it is needed.

Add The Economist to the list of Communist publications. So this thread is about guns now? Stay in the socialist, weak UK please.

Excellent! I used to have an email account with them as did friends, constant problems, switch to GMAIL, so much better, no problems at all. And, the Yahoo stories were always shallow at best with reel you headlines and no facts.

Predictable little rascals, aren't they ?
We aren't the ones quoting polls. You all have been quoting polls since Hillary was predicted to be the clear winner of the presidential election. Suggest you all get together and email President Hillary Clinton and get her opinions on whether you should rely on polls.

I think it will be more difficult than you think. Which side would it even come from at this point? You still have Hillary trying to get her foot back inside the WH door, and Pence is standing in Trump's shadow, so take your pick.

What to do with Puerto Rico is a very complicated thing. You have disagreement within their country as to whether or not they want or should be become a state. They are also carrying a LOT of debt.

Oh wow! another poll showing Trump has a low aproval rating> YAAAAAWN!!! Kind of like all the polls leading up to the election that showed he wouldn't win. Huh?

Guess what? The previous POS is out and can't come back, now if only he's go away! And the ***** lost, so she should just disapear as well. Get over it! give Trump a chance as he's doing everything many of us voted for him for.

You would think it wouldn’t be hard to get an improvement. I’m still mystified by the choice of Hillary or Trump.
