Just left Orlando. The man who checked me in to my hotel was a teacher from Puerto Rico and moved there a month ago because he lost everything in Maria.

I said I hope he re-registered to vote, he replied with a smile, “it was the first thing I did”

1. very awesome!

Orlando just got more blue I think, as well as Florida! Yay!

[Farmer-Rick]

2. The people of Puerto Rico are strong and smart and capable

It was a mistake for the GOP to write them off as unimportant.

There will be repercussions.

3. I can think of a few other states it might be nice to move into.

4. I wonder what party they will vote for?

Guesses?
Predictions?

10. Cute.

Probably the one which denied them the help they need. Also, the one which keeps them from full citizenship.

7. Florida's gonna go blue!!!

13. Just like

Katrina turned Louisiana red.

[cannabis_flower]

15. Probably because

most of the Katrina refugees ended up staying in Houston.

[SCantiGOP]

17. Yep, only difference is

With Katrina the GOP (aka Cheney) probably saw that as a good thing since there wouldn't be enough votes to influence Texas elections, but removing a large percentage of the poorest people in New Orleans would effectively flip Louisiana.
Trump doesn't realize, and probably doesn't really care, that his unbelievably callous attitude towards Puerto Rico is going to likely add enough former residents to the Florida voter lists to change the state.
While I hope that 1) he can't run for re-election since he is in prison or 2) that he runs and loses all 50 states -- it would be sweet if he lost by Florida flipping and even FOX news blamed it on the Hispanic vote there.

8. I'd like to hear this story, over and over and over again with only the names of the Puerto Ricans

changed. If drumpf turns FL blue through his total hate, racism, greed and incompetence - it will be just a part of his karma.

9. "Elections have consequences" someone once said.

What a shame. (Insert evil grin here...)

[Demsrule86]

11. Hehe...I think the GOP might just have lost Florida permanently.

[NewJeffCT]

12. good luck to him

and, hopefully he has a few forms of ID in case they try to stop him from getting to the polls.

[IronLionZion]

14. oh hell yeah!

I hope most of them are

18. The GOP can kiss Florida adios.

[Honeycombe8]

19. Looking good. First, I hope they all make it here to start new lives. Second...

I hope they VOTE out the a-holes that sucker punched them while they were down.

[Lifelong Protester]

20. K & R!

[JHan]

21. K&R!

[Upthevibe]

22. K & R!

23. Puerto Ricans are safe in Orlando

...but don't go too far out of the area. You might meet another kind of southerner and they're not nice neighbors.
