Nope
DC Wasn't Meant To Be
And It Shouldn't Be
The Founding Fathers Said So

DC Is Where The National Gov't Is Housed
It Should Not Belong To Any State
Especially It's Own

DC Has Less Chance Of Becoming A State Than Puerto Rico

Of course, along with the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands. All US citizens need to be represented and have the right to vote and self determination this is currently stolen from millions and is frankly un American.

Just when Kev thinks he knows all the answers, they change all the questions. My question is, why isn't a scoundrel like him booted from this site?

No, DC should not become a state. According to Barrack Ovommit that would make 58 states. 50 states sounds much better!! For Kev, that number would be 1/2 of 100!! Fractions are his weakness.

Totally agree. DC has no place as a state. Plus, the Founders didn't want DC to be a state.
The Founders intended for the capital of the newly created United States to be a neutral ground for co-equal sovereign states to come together to transact the nation’s business. (Key words here are "neutral ground").

History of DC - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Washington,_D.C.

- Why did Washington DC became the nation's capital?
Became the U.S. Capital City. The location of Washington, D.C., was the result of both a political compromise and a military imperative. Philadelphia had been the unofficial nation's capital for some years before the Continental Congress gathered in 1783
- Will Washington DC ever become a state?
The proposed constitution was ratified by District voters in 1982 for a new state to be called "New Columbia". ... The second of these bills made it to the House floor in November 1993, for the only floor debate and vote on D.C. statehood. It was defeated in the House of Representatives by a vote of 277 to 153.
