Viva Hillary Clinton!

Although she won Puerto Rico easily, Clinton seemed to be campaigning in an alternate reality, as hopes for the nomination slipped away.

    Re PR

    I'm anything but xenophobic. If a territory doesn't get to vote in the general, it makes no sense to let it vote in the primaries. Israel is in may ways the 51st U.S state and my guess is that more Israelis identify with and support the US than PR residents, yet the Israelis aren't allowed to participate in US elections. The notion of a territory voting in primaries yet not allowed to vote in the general is absurd. They should either vote in both or in neither.
