I never heard of him before tonight, but based on this, he sounds like a real yutz.

but Puerto Ricans who reside on the mainland can vote in Presidential and Congressional elections same as any other citizen.

Any bets that most MAGAs do not know that Puerto Ricans are US citizens?

Spanish pronunciation because I have studied Spanish and have spent a lot of time with Latin American friends, students, and acquaintances.

One of my Spanish professors switched between the English and Spanish pronunciations depending on whether he was speaking English or Spanish at the time.

That is a native of Puerto Rico back in the 1990s. I believe it was the next to last episode of Seinfeld there was some over the top things about Puerto Ricans. The next morning, out of curiosity I asked how he like Seinfeld. His answer. "Not funny."

If he is typical of Puerto Ricans, they will not like this in the least. Puerto Rican voters may act accordingly.

I swear sometimes I question whether the want to win.

Chaos, then throw to the States (each having one vote) or the Extreme Court.

A popvote blowout will weaken those chances.
