Ugh

Oh come on guys... almost every politician is an opportunist. Did you really expect him to endorse Ron Paul?

No I didn't. You're right.

No surprise there. I don't get why people here are/were so in love with him. He's not one of us.

Some of us are just eternally optimistic I think.

He appeared to have an ounce of integrity.

I'm sure Rubio and Haley did too before getting elected.

I had such high hopes:

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

His endorsement was never a factor.

However, he was and is great VP material. Great guy, I love him.

 

[MelissaWV]

His endorsement isn't a factor? lol

Hmm

Let's see...

Puerto Rico has about as many delegates up for grabs as South Carolina, but only a couple hundred people even participated in 2008. No, I'm sure his endorsement is totally irrelevant.

Incidentally, this surprises only a few people. Some of you see a YouTube where people agree with Ron a little, and fall in love. You could cut together clips of every candidate for GOP nominee and make them sound like Ron. You'd just have a lot of stuff left over that sounds like his total opposite.

Haley maybe, Rubio nope.

 

[MJU1983]

Man, he was my pick for Ron's running-mate.

Gov Fortuno is also Puerto Rico GOP's National Committeeman, which makes him a superdelegate.

Romney now has 17 automatic delegates via superdelegates.

I'm not sure where you are getting that number. He doesn't "have" those delegates. He has endorsements from some, but they can easily change their minds, and if Romney has to drop out for some reason they have the ability to go with anyone else remaining in the race --- or proposed at a brokered convention.

So you don't want to count any delegates that are unbound just because they can change their mind?

All of Iowa's delegates are unbound. Say in June when actual delegates are elected and we know for a fact that 15 of them are Ron Paul supporters and said they will vote for Ron Paul, you still would not count those as Ron Paul delegates?

There are more Puerto Ricans on the US mainland than there are in Puerto Rico
