I go back to my theory that he went there to troll the Puerto Ricans to help win support back home with the "base".

Coming up next, he will campaign in DC (where he doesn't appear on the ballot) and tell them they need to stop talking in Ebonics if they want to be a state.
I think a combination of that, and if you're going to lose big, and not get any delegates anyway, you might as well make it look like you lost on principle.

The question remains though: why the hell did Santorum campaign here?

This. If he was going to lose anyway, why not make it look like he lost on principle?
