Trump’s Puerto Rico fallout is ‘spreading like wildfire’ in Pennsylvania

Donald Trump has a serious Puerto Rico problem — in Pennsylvania.

Many Puerto Rican voters in the state are furious about racist and demeaning comments delivered at a Trump rally. Some say their dismay is giving Kamala Harris a new opening to win over the state’s Latino voters, particularlynearly half a million Pennsylvanians of Puerto Rican descent.

Evidence of the backlash was immediate on Monday: A nonpartisan Puerto Rican group drafted a letter urging its members to oppose Trump on election day. Other Puerto Rican voters were lighting up WhatsApp chats with reactions to the vulgar display and raising it in morning conversations at their bodegas. Some are planning to protest Trump’s rally Tuesday in Allentown, a majority-Latino city with one of the largest Puerto Rican populations in the state.

I'm wondering if he and MAGA are so detached from the real world that they actually think they can bring back racism, or is he intentionally sabotaging his campaign because he needs a reason to blame his loss on.

@calicuz I’d say both. He clearly is going to cry, pout and try to rouse his sheeples to overturn the election unless he wins.

@calicuz Most likely. His loss needs to be someone else’s fault.

@calicuz I mean, are they wrong? Racism has been working for Trump.

I see what you're saying, but racism and bigotry are not in the majority in this country. They'd like to think so, but it just isn't so. I know the poll numbers might have us believe that, with Tяump so close in the race, but they estimate MAGAs numbers to be around 30 million, so that certainly isn't enough to win a Presidential race.

@calicuz It doesn't have to be the majority, it just has to be enough in the right states.

We know that, but in their uneducated, delusional minds, they would believe their racism and bigotry is the voice of the country.
