Bloomberg to push for Puerto Rico statehood, opens campaign office there

“I’ll state it clearly: I support statehood for Puerto Rico. And as president, I will work to pass a bill making it a reality, subject to approval by the people of Puerto Rico — who will make the ultimate decision…”

“We believe taking Puerto Rican voters seriously starts in the Democratic primary, and that’s why I’m opening up an office in San Juan and building a ground operation — because the best way to stop Puerto Rico from being ignored in the future is to stop ignoring it right now.”

He should push his billions towards helping Dems win elections, instead of running for president.

Ads are rumored to directly attack Trump, keeping his campaign message at a bare minimum... if visible at all.

I might actually start calling him by his name now. He may soon be promoted from "the other billionaire" to "Bloomberg."
