However, you do make a valid point that Puerto Rico is a wildcare as far as how they'd vote if they attained statedhood, and Congress got in completely backwards in predicting Hawaii would be a GOP state and Alaska would be a RAT one.
I think we can safely predict DC would be solid RAT if it ever attained statehood, however. A RINO managed to win one seat on the DC city council a few years back, but I'm not impressed. They're so far left in their Presidential voting patterns, they make Massachuttes look moderate.
DC has always had elections ipitting RATs abd Republicans, and, of course, they’ve been voting iverwhelmingly RAT for POTUS since 1964, so there’s no doubt how residents of DC would vote were it a state. You know my position on DC: create a state of New Columbia that includes not just DC but also Montco, PG County and Charles County in MD and Arlington and Fairfax Counties and Alexandria, Falls Church and Fairfax cities in VA, thereby making VA Republican again and turning MD into a swing state.
