The price to unify the party should be to change the delegate allocation process in exactly the manner you suggest.

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.
