John Dingell: Abolish the Senate

[Gass3268]

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.

In terms of internal politics, yes they are more moderate, but after what happened with the Hurricane and the blantant anti-Hispanic racism of the Republcian party there is no way I could see them electing a Republican (or whatever the local party is that affaliates with Republicans) to Congress.
