None of the suggestions of breaking up California into separate states have ever gone anywhere and I suspect that this suggestion of seceding as a whole is just hot air as well.

Most likely. The relevant thing here is that California was Reagan's state and considered fairly conservative a few decades back. If California has changed so much in 30 or 40 years, what does the future hold for the rest of the country?

Quite bad unless Trump is successful in reversing the 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws and borders.
