    Once residential Washington is no longer the nation's capital, there is no good reason it should be a separate state and not just part of the state that donated the land, Maryland.https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/no-statehood-for-dc-do-this-change-instead …

        Once the district's significance vanishes, granting statehood would make as much sense, and be as cynical, as Republicans making North Idaho the 52nd state.https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/no-statehood-for-dc-do-this-change-instead …

        You're pretty desperate to keep that 100 Senator limit, aren't ya?

        “Can’t let THOSE PEOPLE have representation in the Senate. And they’ll put judges on the court that will protect reproductive rights and gay rights; can’t have that either.”

        The point of the article is that it was. Just like Arlington and the rest of the area south of the river used to be part of the district until it was given back to Virginia.

        Neither DC residents or MD residents wanting that is "no good reason"?

        "Washington would become largest city in Maryland. We are sorry to say it, but to many locals, and for most practical purposes, it already is." Completely true, sorry DCers, you ultimately are Marylanders

        What’s absent here is the concerns of the people in Maryland. Do they want DC to be part of their state? If it happens DC and Democrats would run the state in perpetuity like Chicago does with Illinois.

        Aside from the occasional (near inexplicable) Republican governor, the state government is already run exclusively by the Democratic Party. And ~700,000 more votes for Democrats isn’t going to change much at all. That being said, hard to imagine this scenario ever being reality.

        Pair this with a missionary Congressional district in Utah and you have a bipartisan deal.
