Rangel was censured by Democrats. Take it up with your brethren, brethren

Armed service doesn't mean you can do what you want. Just ask MacArthur.

Yet he's been re-elected twice since that censure.

Puerto Ricans just hate Dominicans.

The Puerto Ricans were the pioneer Spanish speaker ethnic group in
NY city and fought successfully against a lot of prejudice to establish
rights and justice for Spanish speakers.

The Dominicans came after, but unlike the Puerto Ricans needed visas
and many were illegal aliens.

Over time the Dominicans became more successful than the Puerto Ricans
and often boast about this.

A good many Puerto Ricans just will not vote for a Dominican.

So although the area was enlarged for Latinos, Rangel's opponent
apparently, despite his salsa/merengue background campaign, failed
in his attempt to exploit it.
