John Dingell: Abolish the Senate

[Former President tack50]

Guys, guys. The Senate is a sacred institution! It allows the states to have a say in governance! We cant get rid of it.

 We should instead admit DC and PR as states! 4 easy senators! Maybe some of the islands as well...

Actually, Puerto Rico would most likely be a purple state like Florida. Puerto Ricans on the island are generally much more conservative than Puerto Ricans that have lived on the mainland for decades.

Puerto Rico would most likely have 1 D, 1 R senators or maybe even 2 R senators.

Actually, I wonder if Puerto Rico would instead just keep their own 2 party system (Popular Democratic vs New Progressive) and not switch to Standard Republican/Democrat politics.

In any case if that happens, Popular Democratic senators will be de facto Democrats while New Progressive senators will be split
