2020 Presidential Election Thread: The Homestretch

[omerome]

As a Afro-Latino, seeing the resident having that type of support from Puerto Rico, after everything he's done (I mean, didn't do) just disappoints me - in every way.

The Governor of Puerto Rico is probably in a much better position to assess what Trump has actually done compared to what you read in the fake news.

Puerto Rico governor endorses Trump

Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez Garced (R) on Tuesday threw her support behind President Trump's bid for a second term and called on Puerto Ricans to cast their votes for him on Election Day.

“I ask all Puerto Ricans who are listening to go vote,” the governor said in an interview on Telemundo. “They have to go to vote, exercise their right to vote and evaluate who has represented being a person who thinks about Puerto Ricans and their needs at the most difficult moment. It is Donald Trump.” 

What do you consider "fake news" that you automatically assume that I read? And there are plenty of crappy people who endorse crappy people, so her endorsement doesn't change that.

I mean we have a Senator who represents a state in which she should have clear knowledge about soybean prices since she's from Iowa, and not only was way off in her number but tried to change the subject by throwing her complete support behind the resident.

EDIT: In addition, this country under the "leadership" of the resident, is directly responsible for the lost lives of over 210K people. That's not someone who thinks about Puerto Ricans (and all Americans) and their needs at their most difficult moment.

Trump withheld aid from Puerto Rico for 3 years. The election gets close and he finds 13 billion in relief money. We'll see if Puerto Rico as a whole falls for it.

So....how about that Hunter Biden situation?

Puerto Rico has always had puppet governments. The fact that they cannot vote will mitigate any pro-POTUS endorsements.

Here's some news on that front:

Trump recently secured an endorsement from Puerto Rico’s governor and promised nearly $13 billion in additional aid last month to help the island rebuild from Hurricane Maria. During a recent rally in Florida, Trump declared: “I’m not gonna say the best, but I’m just about the best thing that ever happened to Puerto Rico. You better vote for me, Puerto Rico.” Many were quick to note that those living on the island don’t have that right.

Meanwhile, Biden granted an exclusive interview to Puerto Rico’s main newspaper that for the first time in its 50 years endorsed a U.S. presidential candidate and asked those in the U.S. mainland to support Biden: “We ask that you, with the great power of your vote, especially in key electoral states, help open the way to the transformation effort that will honor the dignity and promote the progress of every person.”

If the PR vote in Florida is strong, combine that with African American vote, the Cubans' influence there )FL) will weaken.

I worked with a Puerto Rican Trump supporter in 2016

His entire thing was just he hated Mexicans and wanted Trump to kick them out

Quit before the election, so I don't know if he voted for him or if he still supports him though.

Do you by any chance work at a paper towel factory?

Trump's neglect of PR created a significant influx of Floriricans. They know what Trump did (or didn't do) for their island. I doubt they will forget that now that some of them are registered to vote as Floridians.

Yeah, I noticed Biden's aggregate lead of the Presidential Approval polls balloon at one point over a month ago to over 12 points.

Then the tightening happened and it briefly slipped down to 9 points in aggregate, but since their debate it has steadily creeped back to within the 10-12 point aggregate range.

This is not the same as state polls where electoral counts will happen, but it is very much indicative that Trump's last window of opportunity to close the gap is now gone. Unless, of course, derp, Hunter Biden.

I'm not that worried about the Hunter thing. The water is way to muddy for anyone to really take any of it in.

I definitely didn't think you were worried about it. Only the trumpentrollen are worried as they flash their Q hand signals and glaze their fear strudels with Hindenburgian proclamations of imminent collapse. They are going to put the Onion out of business if they keep this up

Also very worthwhile to note who Wanda Vazquez is in the scheme of things...

Vazquez was part of the Rosello administration. The big protests from Puerto Rico recently, those pushed out a number of members from the administration including Rosello himself. Vazquez initially didn't want the role either but pretty much every other option had resigned.

Vazquez is also under investigation herself for mishandling the warehouse situation. There were allusions to her helping others cover-up corruption during the Rosello period (though I'm not sure anything did or will come of it). She wasn't elected into the governor role and then she didn't even win her primary to run for governor again.

She wasn't elected, people don't like her and she's on her way out the door. Her endorsement is worthless even before you factor in the lack of actual voting impact on the election.

Meanwhile no one is denying the laptop is Hunter Biden's or the data on it.

Not Hunter, Not Joe.

The FBI' top child porn investigator is the one who picked up the laptop.

Hunter Biden's attorney asked for Hunter's laptop back from the repair shop.

And you are still in denial. This is fun.
