Puerto Ricans are leaving Puerto Rico in large numbers due to a multitude of different things like: Unemployment, the influx of Haitians and Dominican Republic illegals, etc. Most of them are about to change the Florida Politics Spectrum in the 1-4 Corridor, but unlike their influx in New York City in the late 1940's, in which most of them were poor, this new group is highly-educated, and with education comes POWER.

Your opinions please........and read below.

Regardless of what side their vote falls on, these US Citizens [of Puerto Rican descent] will vote their conscience as any Voting US Citizen. It is their right and freedom to vote for whom they see fit.

George Washington thought a two party system was a mistake. either way, if a people feel that the current parties do not represent their interests, a new party might not be far off.

maybe not on a national level at first...

also, i kinda expect Trump to break off with a new party ala Teddy Roosevelt. he's popular enough.

What would be the point? More division within an already fractured USA? This sounds like something trump would bring up during one of his rallies.

so you get a whole bunch of puertoricans moving to florida. if they dont feel the dems or reps represent them, or that these parties let them down, then why wouldnt they decide to form a party that better suits them? especially on the local level.
