It would be such poetic justice if Puerto Ricans cooked trump in this election.   

It's fitting that two days after this guy's terrible, unfunny and racist joke about Puerto Rico, Trump is scheduled to do a rally in a city (Allentown) where 1 in 4 residents are Puerto Rican.

Just cosmic

Funny you should mention—my wife and I passed through Allentown on the way to Montauk, LI. We learned going in that it was highly Puerto Rican, which we didn’t expect. And we did notice a high percentage of people who looked like they could be Puerto Rican. But the thing that really surprised us was that we did not see a single sign anywhere that was in Spanish. Here in Chicago, there are a boatload of signs in Spanish everywhere. I’m not quite sure what to make of that.

A lot of Hispanics are now 2nd and 3rd generation and have been raised in the US and went to US schools and speak English.

There's one conclusion

All of this evidence begs the question: Why would any Republican in Michigan who voted for Gerald Ford — or Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush, Sens. John McCain or Mitt Romney — ever cast a ballot for someone like Donald Trump? 

The answer is clear — they shouldn’t.

Negative endorsement.

Went to early in-person voting yesterday.   Largely the same as not-early voting in person.   

Really the only noticeable difference was that they print out your ballot right there out of a printer.   It's on more of a regular paper than card stock-ish paper.   I pancaked my arse over to one of the tables to fill out 10 ballots for Trump, and noticed that the felt pen/marker was bleeding through the paper to the other side of a double sided ballot.   The lady at the station where you submit the 10 Trump Ballots into the machine didn't have a ton of good advice, she was like "We can try it, it's up to you" so I said well can I spoil these 10 and get 60 more and she said yes and then I used a regular pen on those 60.
