We got into this because our members about a year-and-a-half ago said to us, oh, my God, another Trump-Biden match. It's not good for the country. It offers no hope of bringing bipartisanship back to Washington regardless of who wins.
Its not only a weak basis for judgment, it is unacceptable in our system of law and equity.
It has mattered to me because there are two great American constitutional principles that are at the heart of the cause of D.C. statehood and that are violated every day in the current treatment of residents of the District of Columbia.
We're going to ask the delegates on Friday, do you want us to go forward to do some final surveying of public opinion because we've said we're not going to do this unless we have a chance to win.
