They aren't close to statehood, and they are pissed about it. Even their auto tags indicate their displeasure. Republicans will NEVER give in on this one. DC would be a guaranteed pick-up for the Dems.
No way should DC get statehood . . . on what grounds should they? Any argument you can make for statehood for DC is an argument for annexation into Maryland.
I wouldn't be opposed to that.
Why not they're paying taxes one of the highest rates in the nation. Actually if any state it would be Virginia .. at one time DC was a 10x10 mile square and a piece was annex off to Virginia because of the slave trade.
