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.

Unlikely. While you are correct in addressing the stances of many Puerto Ricans, it should be noted that Hispanics in the states are also rather Conservative on a number of issues, same with African Americans. Peurto Rico would likely, like a sizable amount of the US Hispanic population, disagree with the Democrats socially, but support them due to economics, systemic racism, financial support, among other political factors.
