#Calexit
With the influx of illegal immigrants, the entire Southwest will generate those statistics in 20 years.
Cede it back to Mexico in exchange for a payment that would finance wall construction. Win-win!
I think Nixon got the popular vote while Kennedy got the EVs in 1960...
‘And if California into the ocean,
Like the mystics and statistics say it will...’
We’d be better off, provided the Freepers all got out beforehand.
Lyrics above by the late, great Warren Zevon.
Well, let them leave. Of course, they do provide most of our fruits and vegetables, and we will have a trade deficit with them, but then, I suppose we can charge them for the water they use up from the Colorado River to grow those things. We will have to build a new Silicon Valley up in the Rust Belt, but we will no longer have to put up with the privacy intrusion and political correctness of Google and Facebook; the Zuckerberg’s of the world can take a hike. And then there’s Hollywood. Oh, how will we do without our rich celebrities?! Yeah, let them leave.
Maybe you could walk me through your math? California has 55 electoral votes, so how could there be a 129 vote difference in the electoral college if you remove California?
It’s been painful watching the downfall of what used to be a wonderful state. I was born there, in Newport Beach, where we took surfing for 1st period PE, our moms were stay at home moms, we could drive anywhere without horrible gridlock, you could go to a medical facility and not have the place packed with droves of illegals with their magic plastic Medical card, and it was a conservative place.
Watching as it becomes a socialist third world is like watching a good friend in hospice, you know the tragic outcome even as you hold out unreasonable hope that something will change.
After living there my entire life, I headed for the midwest two years ago. A red state, of course.
In 2008 there was the vote of three cities that was responsible for Obozo over McCain.
I guarantee that more than a million of those Clinton votes were fraudulent.
So you would say it is TRUE that Hillary won the popular vote?
Time for America to secede from Kalifornia.
California should be chopped loose from OR, NV, AZ and Mexico, towed out to sea and sunk.
Good observation. Thanks for the post.
If the difference is only 230,000 votes nation wide you only have to discount the DC Vote to give Trump the popular vote win.
This is a fruitless notion.
The United States isn’t giving up 1500 miles of the West Coast and all the resources of that state just because a bunch of sulky billionaires and left wing snowflakes don’t like the outcome of the election.
It doesn’t matter how many referendums, petitions, meetings, or protest marches are conducted. Unlike EU and BreExit, there is no provision in the US Constitution for a state to secede.
A lot of blood was shed preventing the last group to try it from succeeding. This really is a matter that the Federal government will kill its own citizens over to prevent if necessary. However, it won’t come to that. There will be mass arrests, trials, imprisonment, and martial law.
All those pouty billionaires will become zeros behind bars. No, when threatened, the cowards will flee to some overseas safe haven and leave theIr less financially well off supporters holding the bag. Their arrogance is matched only by their duplicity. Their true allegiance is only to themselves.
If you could buy a brand new Jeep Wrangler or convince California to stay in the union what color of Jeep would you choose?
It's a pretty heavy thumb-- one out of eight Americans lives in California.
