"Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are very, very concerned about the people of Puerto Rico.
Both have joined the mayor of San Juan in criticizing President Trump for not doing enough for the Commonwealth in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
Seriously, where have they been?Where were they when Puerto Rico’s debts ballooned to $123 billion, thrusting the economy into an 11-year recession?
Where were they when 50,000 of the island’s best and brightest hightailed to the mainland every year, looking for jobs and opportunities, as median household income sank to $18,626 as compared to $56,516 on the mainland?
Where were they as the territory’s power system went bust, while its administrators came under FBI investigation for stealing from the people of Puerto Rico?
They were nowhere to be seen, except of course during election season..."
