How close will Puerto Ricans get Hillary Clinton to nomination?

Amid a crushing economic malaise, millions of Puerto Ricans will go to the polls to vote on their preference for president and governor in the U.S. territory’s Democratic primary Sunday.

They also could push Hillary Clinton a lot closer to becoming the Democrats’ presumptive nominee.

The primary has been almost overlooked with the much larger cache of delegates up for grabs on primaries Tuesday in a handful of states, including California.

But the close race in California, the aggressive push Bernie Sanders has been making in Puerto Rico and Puerto Rican’s exhaustion from the island’s economic crisis are drawing much more attention to the elections.

and it looked like just any other state with American road signs, but when you looked at all the poverty and the shacks people called home, you knew it wasn't.

So is Hillary promising them statehood?
