Hillary Clinton will win the Puerto Rico Democratic primary by a wide margin, CNN projects

According to CNN.COM exit poll cross tabs, Hillary should win around 70% of the vote in PR.

Per Hillary's own definition, PR is not an important primary to win. But I'm sure now that she won it big, PR will be the most important primary of the entire season. I'm just looking so forward to next week when she's gone. This is getting really pathetic.

An interesting observation from the CNN.COM exit polls for PR. 60% of respondents to the exit poll believe PR should be an American state! Only 4% support independence.

I suppose that makes sense seeing how these voters showed up to vote in an American primary.

Further down the exit poll, 60% of respondents described themselves as Puerto Rican and only 36% described themselves as American.

Why do they want to be a state again?

So they can vote for Hillary.

The last time I checked, Puerto Rico was not part of the 50 states... It's a US territory... Who cares what they think? Honestly... I'm sure the average American could really give a dahamn!

To be honest "the average American" doesn't even know where Puerto Rico is.

As for the voters... well... Ricky Martin recently endorsed Hillary. That must mean why they voted for her in such numbers... also going to remind ourselves that if this vote was so important, she wouldn't be talking in Electoral College numbers when the US Colony of Puerto Rico doesn't get a say in said process.

I'm sure she touted something about US government freebies to caravan stops as is the style of the pro-US Statehood crowd- which coincidentally also endorsed her hands down by a far margin.

Crazy I tell ya... but the voters that live in la la land seem a perfect fit for camp Hillary...

Really, you think so? Ouch.

Unfortunately, yes... heck... ask many Americans where their own state is on a map and you may be shocked... sad, but true. Fortunately for most VJers, that is not the case for obvious reasons. In the particular case of Puerto Rico, this is a common cruise ship starting/stop off point for many- and that's about the extent of most Americans' knowledge of the island and its people and politics.

This is all a bunch of realpolitik and many seem to fall right in line into the vote-pandering game these politicians play. Clinton represents a Puerto-Rican heavy Senatorial district in New York.

Puerto Rico is the sixth borough of New York City.

Really.

Have you ever asked anyone this question? Or even where their state is on a map? I know there are some geographical "challenges" apparent, but reaching this far? Puerto Rico is often shown on a map when hurricanes are looming. I just have thisnagging feeling this is some sort of soundbite based on some funny candid question shows asking general questions and picking out the funniest/most pathetic non answers.

Maybe not. I dont know, but I never asked anyone to point out Puerto Rico on a map.

WOW that is also true... these responses come out all the time in those comedy shows... but I think there was a National Geographic survey done not too long ago that gave some pretty sad results. Just Googled it.

As for the particular question of Puerto Rico... imagine me telling people about the island and getting asked... OVER and over if you could drive there, if there were any McDonalds there (too many), among a myriad of other questions that would crack the hell out of anyone that knew an inkling about the island.

Hell, if Canada were a small country, the average American wouldn't know where it was either. According to our forefathers, the average American is ignorant or uninformed, which is why we have the electoral college. Hmmm...
