He may be conservative in a Puerto Rican context, and obviously his first audience is the island. He is probably a social conservative, and in the island context a fiscal conservative.
But he is making it clear that he is not GOP or conservative in the sense that we mean it, which is classic liberal constitutionalism.
After his dust-up with the island unions I was ready to promote him for national office, but I realize I’ll have to rethink that.
It is disheartening to see that pro-statehood leaders in Puerto Rico, especially those who identify themselves with the Republican Party, have embraced Big Brother.
But then, isn’t the government the largest employer in the island?
