If Trump results in a Democratic wave that results in total control, second thing they should do, after national redistricting reform, is DC Statehood.

I second this. There is just no good reason to deny them the same representation that everyone else gets. If there are concerns for the federal government (whatever they may be), those can be addressed in the state constitution when Congress admits them. Or we could just pass a constitutional amendment giving the district 2 Senators and 1 House Rep. Hard to see that happening, seeing as Republicans would rather disenfranchise 650,000+ people than do anything that hurts their Senate majority.

Just love how some people who already have representation are so indifferent to the fact that hundreds of thousands of their fellow Americans are being deprived of the same. This issue should have been handled many decades ago, because it's clear now that when it comes to freakin voting rights and fair elections, politicians no longer care about it if it effects their party's chances. How American of them.
