Rubio reiterates Trump's view that Canada 'would be better off' as a US state

10. You know, hear me out on this.

I believe Democrats should ignore this bluster.

First, it will NEVER happen. Secondly, if it does, Canada should state we accept on the condition that every province becomes a state. The state of Quebec. The state of Ontario. The state of British Columbia. Even Nunavut, NW Territories, and Yukon should become states immediately.

That would give us 13 more states, each one solidly behind gun control, the right to choose, universal health care, and all the things we as Democrats want and support.

That's 26 new senators at at least 45 representatives apportioned out to the new "states." Expect those to come from the lowest EV states first, all those with between 4-6 EVs will drop to 3 immediately. That means the GOP will lose 18 Reps immediately since 9 out of the 15 states will 4-6 EVs are Republican states.

When that happens, the Senate will have 26 new Senators. Assuming that Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta continue to be Republican and Quebec, and the Canadian territories go purple as they usually do in Canada, assuming 16 new Democratic senators would not be far-fetched. Taking the current make up of the Senate adding this, it would be 63 - 63.

The House would be different as there should be a huge increase in Democrats, so assuming 75% of the Canadian delegation being Democrats isn't farfetched. If they keep the 435 number, assuming re-apportionment trends, that means the Republicans will lose big time. We could literally see a House where the Democrat hold an unbreakable majority to an almost super majority. Democrats holding 60% of the 435 (meaning at least 260 seats) permanently would be possible.

Then there's the SCOTUS. We would need at least four more circuits.

Finally, the EV. If this happens, there would be no path to the WH for the Republicans. Even with TX and FL, most states with over 20 EVS (including PA and IL) are blue.

One last thing. . .this also doesn't take into consideration the mentality that the Canadians will blame the Republican Party for losing their country. Even the most conservative Canadian will vote against the Republicans en masse, just like black people voted FOR the Republican Party as a voting block until 1964 due to the thinking that the Republicans ended slavery.

With all this, I'd say "do it Donald. You don't see the political consequences internally.

Even if Canada becomes just one state, that's two more Democrats and at least 45 new Congress critters in the House taken mostly from red states.

Good luck with that.
