The governor of Puerto Rico is under pressure to resign for various reasons.

If he does, what is to stop Alexandria Ocasio Cortez from running for governor? What a great opportunity to prove her leadership skills if she wants to ru for President!

I support AOC moving to Somalia with Ilhan to implement their great ideas...when Somalia becomes the envy of the world, when americans marry their brother to get there, when they place a man on Mars, and when they are the world's technological and economic superpower, I'll welcome AOC and Ihan's ideas.

AOC isn't qualified to be Governor of the Island of Misfit Toys.

How about she goes back to being a Bartender and telling stories about her short career as a Congress person.

Looks are fading, stupidity is forever.

I am not sure that job has the media attention that she is looking for. PR certainly has its financial issues. OAC doesn't come across to me as someone who can make the hard decisions regarding budget cuts and things that must be implemented there. She appears to be more interested in getting attention from the mainstream media. She certainly won't get that in PR as it already gets no attention except for natural disasters.

I want her to remain the House forever, as she is destroying the dem party from within. Perhaps a US Senator from NY? She could cause even more damage in the Senate than the House.

The fact that she doesn't live there?

PR is suffering from decades of corruption and neglected infrastructure.

On top of that, a lot of their most productive younger people have gone to seek their fortunes in the states.

PR is only useful as a political tool to try to lay years and years of problems at the feet of Trump and will be forgotten after that passes.

In short, it's a dead-end job for anyone with high aspirations because they're not going to be able to turn PR into a success story.
