Puerto Rico governor endorses Trump

By The Hill, October 6, 2020

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.”

According to the Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Día, Vázquez Garced was scheduled to appear at a campaign event with Trump in central Florida last Friday, with the governor saying she had been invited to travel on Air Force One to hold a meeting on Puerto Rico.

However, the event was canceled after news broke of Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis.

In Tuesday’s interview, when asked about Trump throwing paper towels to a group of Puerto Ricans during a 2017 visit to the island in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, Vázquez Garced said voters should not dwell on the image, adding that “nobody is perfect.”

The Republican governor has repeatedly brought attention to her rapport with Trump, suggesting at a February rally that the president would otherwise not provide federal funds to the island territory.

Last month, the Trump administration announced it would provide an additional $13 billion in aid to Puerto Rico to assist in infrastructure redevelopment following the 2017 natural disaster.

When asked why it had taken so long to release the aid for Puerto Rico, Trump said it had been in the works for some time and blamed Democrats for the delay. However, the funds had already been allocated to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, meaning the administration could have distributed them at any point in the preceding months.

So were the 15% more likely going to vote for him anyway?
Were the 22% less likely to vote for him suffering from terminal TDS?
Such polls mean next to nothing.

Hi cjk: Rasmussen is the best polling company right now. They were very close in predicting the 2016 election. But I agree that this poll may not mean much. And the results here are confounded with the debate results that came just a few days before.
However, the poll probably means that Covid-19 did not do much to Trump’s popularity.

Should have asked whether or not you’re changing your vote because of it.
Rasmussen has pretty much always been the best pollers out there.

Pelosi isn’t serious. She wants all voter ID requirements for voting to be barred, illegals given stimulus money and oddles of money for education for pension funds and state bailouts. She wants people as miserable as possible with the hope they will stay home, not vote for Trump or vote for a DEM for money. DEMS are always promising free stuff.

Yes the Dems tax away money from conservatives, who earned the money , and give it to Dem voters , who didn’t earn the money: “Income leveling”

Oops! Now the DemoNazis won’t want Puerto Rico statehood anymore. They will have to move onto Guam now.

LOL, is this the same Puerto Rico that Trump supposedly treated so badly? Another leftist narrative bites the dust.

Puerto Ricans who live in PR are not allowed to vote for President of the US. They can vote in the primary, but cannot vote in the General Election. Though PR who live in the US are considered citizens and can vote in the General Election.

I have never been a fan of Puerto Rico. Everyone I know from there is a Democrat who has benefitted in some way or another by special treatment from the US federal government. Whereas I do appreciate her endorsement it appears to be motivated by her desire for more US government money. I get so sick of whores, and I don’t mean the kind that are going about the sex trade. That pales beside politics.
