Even worse than Maryland, D.C. has less relevance to the Republicans than American Samoa and should get about as many delegates.
Trivia question: Barry Goldwater actually managed to get 14.5% of the DC vote in 1964. Who was the last Republican presidential candidate to exceed this total? Who was the last to crack 10%?
Nixon got the highest % in 1972 with 22%. But Gerald Ford in 1976 was the last to exceed Goldwater’s total with about 17%. Not since Bush, Sr. in 1988 got just under Goldwater’s total (14.3%) has a Republican received more than a double-digit % in DC for President.
