Puerto Rico Gives Clinton a Boost
Democrats in Puerto Rico cast their primary votes yesterday, giving Clinton another victory and boosting her chances of hitting the necessary number of delegates to clinch the nomination this week.
Here to discuss the results: Luis A. Miranda, managing partner of the MirRam group and father of Hamilton star and creator Lin Manuel Miranda.
Clinton is 30 delegates away from clinching the nom, according to @AP. Now discussing Puerto Rico primary results with @Vegalteno.

@BrianLehrer what is being done to change the laws & allow PR their right to vote? Colonialism is apparently alive and well in the US!

Puerto Rico's 7/1 deadline is "so many months ahead that if we don’t deal with this crisis right now, there’ll be pandemonium." @Vegalteno

.@Lin_Manuel has always been into theater says dad @Vegalteno. We had to leave a Nuyorican cafe performance b/c he was dancing in her belly.
