NO STATEHOOD

not unless another, more conservative territory wants statehood too.(i cant think of any??? Guam???Samoa??? these guys are cargo cultists...and probably love the welfare state.).

2 Senators is way to many to give a liberal state without a conservative balance.

RE: NO STATEHOOD

Why statehood? Just declare independence — The Republic of Puerto Rico.

The Philippines became independent over 70 years ago and their democracy is still thriving and they’re still friendly to America.

Why can’t Puerto Rico be the same?

Eastern California wants statehood. Western California wants to merge with Big China ~ Middle California wants water.

I think all ambitions can be dealt with, but it takes TWO REPUBLICAN STATES for one Democrat state this time.
