I mean, can you even imagine any other opener for a candidate calling Puerto Rico a trash heap and then the candidate not immediately repudiating this racist statement? I can't.

This election isn't close and won't be close. Forget polls, look at early vote and WHO is voting early. For Rs, its the same folks who voted early in 2020, for Dems, it's new voters. The math just isn't mathing for MAGA.

Trump's going to win because he is the FAR better candidate, but I gotta admit that was a pretty dumb joke.

Honey, the numbers ain't numbering for Trump. He's going to lose.

+1. Cat ladies and male sissies are sooooo offended at....everything. It's insufferable and phony. And it's why Dems are losing normal every day men.

Hmmm this MAGA is trying to blame it on Harris.

that is some serious desperation. I hope this takes done Scott. Lot's of Puerto Ricans in FL.

This is why it is hard for comedians these days because liberals especially white liberal women are the ones least likely to be able to take a joke. I guarantee a majority of this people showing outrage fall into this demographic.

Just because you can find a handful of Latinos and Puerto Ricans who were not offended does not mean that the majority of those groups were not offended.

I guarantee you that a very significant majority of Latinos in general and Puerto Ricans specifically were and are offended. And they will spread this through their communities and it will make a difference. I happen to know several blended Puerto Rican families and I can bet that their spouses will be just as offended and inflamed by the comments.

We can only hope. It seems every time Trump sinks lower, he picks up more votes. The racism is selling.

I don't believe this is true. I think Republican bought pollsters are trying to sell that, but it isn't actually happening. Polls like Trafalgar, Rasmussen, RMG (a Rasmussen owned separate polling company), InsiderAdvantage among many others, are putting their thumbs on the scales to try to make it look like it is happening.

The truth is that Trump has never been more popular than 47% of the population. He won by 46.1% in 2016 and lost with 46.8% in 2020. He hasn't really gotten more popular. For those that he sways, he loses at least as many. I think the recent polls showing Harris 53-47 vs Trump are about right. He was at his peak popularity in 2020 and still got less than 47%. He hasn't increased that much. I could believe 47.x% (under 47.5%) but not much more than that.

The question is whether he gets the votes in the right places for an electoral college win. But I don't think he's getting that either. I think it's all a paid-for Republican illusion designed to help bolster their court challenges to his election loss. Fortunate in 2020, there were NO judges in 62 cases that believed him. I hope that the judges are not bamboozled by Trump and his billionaire friends this time.

I think part of this is a set-up. Particularly with Polymarket, Kalshi and so on - thumbs on the scale there to make it look like Trump is running away with it, along with R-leaning pollsters consistently giving Trump a several point lead and consistently throwing the swing states in his favor even when the other polls disagree and when experts disagree. That way, when/if Trump loses, they will immediatly scream "IT WAS OBVIOUSLY RIGGED AND STOLEN BECAUSE THE R-LEANING POLLS SAID +X TRUMP AND POLYMARKET SAID 68% TRUMP AND YADDA YADDA" while ignoring everything to the contrary and ignoring the actual results.

What a moron. Maybe he can blame Kamala for the sun rising and setting too.

I think this is probably right. Boy, they’re going to be mad-mad on Wednesday.

Regular folks can scream it but it won’t move the needle on any desperado court cases. I think his cultists are too aware now that they will be prosecuted for election violations, for attacking poll workers, for messing with others’ votes. People have gotten in serious trouble and the J6 criminals are incarcerated or dealing with their convictions. They are going to flip and lie and scream here until then but oh well.

Bingo! Trump won in '16 because he brought new voters to the polls. Not to be mean, but a chunk of those were probably dead by November '20 b/c of COVID or ivermectin or bleach or something something.

Omg I forgot about Roger Stone. Now all the cocaine rambling MAGA comments here make sense.

Of course they are. In their limited minds we’re able to control the weather! So not only can we control the weather, but we can also convince a not just one Republican speaker, but several, to write to write insulting speeches and then we managed to trick Trump’s staff into okaying all these insults of necessary groups of voters.

Meanwhile conservative terrorists are burning ballots in an attempt to change the outcome of votes.

What happened to these sad little magas?

Puerto Ricans are American citizens who can and do vote when they live in one of the states. 450,000 of them in Pennsylvania alone.

450K who left Puerto Rico for some reason.

Funny how all the Republicans who were mortally and immortally wounded by Gretchen Whitmer holding a Dorito suddenly grew a sense of humor last week.
