The Republicans may have a fighting chance now and again on the state ballot level, based on the idiosyncrasies of Island politics and the relative independence of each of the two major parties, even though they each respectively align themselves with the two major Mainland parties.

That said, I suspect statehood 110 to nationalize politics more and undermine its unique territorial political division which had two heavily competitive parties. I'm sorry to inform Republicans, but it doesn't make much sense that given their party's antipathy towards Hispanics - - crudely disguises opposition to Illegal immigration - - that Puerto Rico is going to warm up to the party of trump on the federal level even long after he's gone.

Also, conservatives have long had this wet dream of Hispanics and even African Americans eventually becoming more conservative and Republican friendly because of their supposed heavy social conservatism. That has to put it mildly not exactly come to fruition. Nor should one expect it to anytime in the foreseeable future.

Usually Democratic on a presidential level, but not totally out of reach for the GOP with the right candidate

Trump has made some significant gains in polls with Hispanic voters. The party of Black voters is going to have some issues keeping everyone else on board.

Also, its no coincidence Puerto Ricans rend to be among the most Democratic voting Latino blocs.

I just can't fathom Puerto Rico voting republican at least in the short term, after trump's absolutely disastrous and apathetic response to hurricane Maria. That might be a shallow reading of it, but my God did trump and republicans give that island the finger when it came to disaster aid. Also, every single republican senator seems to think that Puerto Rico would elect two democratic senators. Why do they think that is? It sure looks like they're telling on themselves to me.

It is astonishing that the main reason (indeed, perhaps the only reason) Republicans are opposed to D.C. and PR statehood is because of the political implications they fear it will have for their Party. It truly is a testament to the current Party's policies, that they are unable to devise programs that would broaden their appeal to minority voters as a whole-an effort which would enhance their prospects at retaining and gaining political power in the long run.

Trend? Hillary got 65% of the Latino in 2016. Biden is on track to win 66-70%.

Trump got 28% in 2016, based on that poll he has 24%. That's a 4% drop.
