“Puerto Rico October surprise” is a creative way to say “backlash from racist statements by Trump and select speakers.” It makes it sound like they just did a little oopsie whoospie fucky wucky.
Does it really count as a surprise when you punch yourself in the dick?
Is it really a surprise that a MAGA rally features a bunch of racists? This is an October Obvious-to-anyone-paying-attention
October Expectation
Contain? Hell, it will probably INCREASE his popularity among his base. At this point, are there still any undecided willing to objectively assess the situation?
I imagine what they’re trying to contain are angry Puerto Ricans living in the US from going out and voting. The higher the voter turnout is, the greater the chance of Harris winning. Making Democrats angry enough to actually go out and vote is definitely something the Republicans want to contain.
