I am with the conservatards on this one but, not for the same oppressive reasons they are against it.The Repukeians need to be punished for this. They did this right in the middle of an historic election where 60 million Americans have voted already. The Repukeians didn’t give a damn to know what the electorate wanted on this. I say go for DC statehood. That would be an automatic two additional Democratic Senators plus official voting representation in the House.
DC is a special district and created to be unique, it needs more autonomy from the federal government, not the current level of control.
My choice for statehood, Puerto Rico! It's been a territory of ours for over 100 years and they are already US Citizens with an American government structure. Two more senate seats and four house seats, all Democrats.
