That’s just what we need two more permanent Democrat senators. Unfortunately there are just enough idiots in the GOP to put the vote in favour of Statehood.
There was a time when the idea of statehood made us feel good about ourselves-inclusion and all that. Dealmaker Don knows when there’s nothing in it for him or us. Congress will now feel free to buckle under the charge of racism.
Can we get a Missouri compromise and split a conservative state in two to balance it out
exactly. and another 3 or 4 reliable democrat electoral votes in every presidential election
The United States Congress has NEVER allowed a territory to become a state until that territory proved it was financially viable.
What the United States Congress should do is deed Puerto Rico to Cuba for US ownership of the eastern tip of Cuba including towns around GITMO. Then the Cubans would be able to flee Cuba without having to brave shark infested waters.
No thanks dude. We’ve decided way back that we’re not going to bail you out. We know that’s what your main goal is. GTH Dumbass
Jeb Bush was pushing for Puerto Rican statehood during the primaries, I'm sure there are plenty of like-minded fools in the House and Senate who want the same.
