i've got a Puerto Rican co worker and he says it is heavily democratic. You have Catholics in America who are pro life but do not project their religion on government. I think the GOP is in real trouble with Latinos right now.

Puerto Rico looks like it will be the 51st state

I mean, at least down here there are more than enough people who speak it but not English.

The state of Puerto Rico would be seven reliable electoral votes for Democrats as long as "fuck brown-skinned people" is official GOP policy.
All other (more important) considerations aside, I'd love to see this happen because there is no other possibility in the foreseeable future that a new state would ever be added to the union, and it would be a neat and unique piece of history to witness, considering we've added only two states in the last 100 years. 
I still think DC should get statehood first, damnit
 Totally not fair! RE: Puerto Rico looks like it will be the 51st state

Same in the Sunshine. (pretending that you can't speak spanish is the single most valuable tool in business negotiation in S. Fl btw)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Same with the Democrats for their record number of deportations. A lot of latinos left both parties these past few years.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

And aren't you glad for that, now? I mean... if AK weren't a state, it'd have declared its independence decades ago  It'd be nice to see that shitty flag change. Always hated its design... but undoubtedly they'll stick with the 'red-white-blue' stripes and stars shtick 
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
