Exodus from Puerto Rico could upend Florida vote in 2016 presidential race
Puerto Rico exodus could mess Florida vote With the mass exodus of Boricuas from the island due to economic issues, the voting patterns in Florida will never be Conservative on National Elections ever again. They aren't moving to NYC anymore. They're settling in Central Florida. The I-4 Corridor was the PR epicenter in Florida until Brazilians overtook them. But the return of economic misery in PR changed that. Boricuas are moving in huge numbers to FL for economic opportunities. They will tip the scales towards Democrats along with the Miami Cubans youth reaching voting age. The Republican Florida is done on a National Level. On State level issues.... It will take a bit longer. |

Sounds like the settlers from Commiefornia repopulating Colorado, Wyoming, and Texas . . . screw up your location bad enough to move, then re-start the process somewhere where it isn't screwed up

That's right. And 1/5th of El.Salvador now lives in the USA mostly in VA which will never vote conservative again. But don't vote for
Trump. |

That's why we need to dump the electoral college and go straight up popular vote. You have all the trash in NYC dictating what way the rest of the state will go. It's bullshit. Let every vote count.

What amazes me is hispanic culture is really very conservative and due to perception they seem to vote against their own values.

Combined with all of the New Yawkers, Florida will probably resemble California in 15 years

Boricuas are moving in huge numbers to FL for economic opportunities. View Quote Sounds like if the R's did what they are supposed to do economically they could have a huge influx of voters instead of a huge influx of opponents. Alas they are too busy with social issues and ain't got time for that. More important to define legitimate rape and gripe about gay marriage. |

We should have let PR become their own country a long time ago.
|
|
We have zero use for the electoral college. We need to move to direct voting where each vote counts not just the majority in each state.

Ohio has seen the same thing. Cities like Columbus and Cincinnati used to go Republican (or at least, mostly so), as little as 5-10 years ago.

The Dems were worried about the election after Barry, looks like they managed to repopulate just enough people to secure a Democratic win for the rest of our lives |

Once Florida and Texas go, that's all folks View Quote god, i cant believe i am actually typing this. \deep breath/ Maybe, its time for conservatives to.. move to Texas. |

What amazes me is hispanic culture is really very conservative and due to perception they seem to vote against their own values. View Quote I think there are several things going on with this. 1) Though hispanics are individually very conservative, they tend to come from collectivist / communist societies. It's all they know. 2) Democrat vote buying schemes have largely been working. 3) The media smears republicans as racist because they have the audacity to suggest that the damned law be enforced. 4) Hispanics tend to be socially conservative, but don't really believe that the dems will do them harm on that front. The situation with hispanics voting D will continue to obtain until they are the majority, and then the .gov decides to love them tenderly in terms of taxation. This may not apply to Texas, where the hispanics seem to be different, at least to me. The whole place is more different than most realize, until you spend some time there. |

So the rest of FL will sorta get the "feels" of a Panhandle resident now?
|

This article sounds like it's 20 years old.
PR's came in big waves in the 90's when Disney and other places made huge offers to these people to move here, and didn't pay. Some of the left, a lot didn't. New Yorkers and Joisey folks and more youth voters are doing more to change the state. The article is kinda bullshitty and out of date. |
|
This is why I'll happily sit home on election day instead of voting for a RINO turd. The GOP has committed treason against main street America. Fuck them to the pits of hell. IF Trump or Cruz win the nomination, I might reconsider.

They used to get Florida documentation; not any more. |

My entire family of Inlaws are moving from PR to FL due to the economic issues and the pending default.

This is the democrat plan. Move voters from solid blue areas to red states.
Look at what the whiney assholes from NY, NJ, and MD have done to VA. |

Puerto Ricans are US citizens...the same as you and I. They (and us) can move freely between the states and island whenever they choose and can decide to move to any state they like....they are also fully eligible to vote if they move to the states. You know, because they are citizens. They are not going to become an independent state. They have held several referendums and overwhelmingly voted to become a US state. If anything changes, it will be in the direction of statehood. |

But they vote for a collectivized type of government for benefits. Have conservative values on things like family and gay issues. A lot of the liberation theology had it's roots in the Jesuit and Franciscan missionary ideology. |
