And the argument against DC seems to boil down to either some metric that remains undefined in the past when it came to statehood or "Democrats".
Both the DC and PR issues have much in common, as we are finding out.
In each case, there is a larger issue behind the discussion, namely minority party control of the Senate, which has become an abuse of power under the filibuster.
People are now looking at these statehood options to return some balance of power back to the Senate.
