And what a gift it would be for the rest of the country! California currently has 55 electoral votes. Candidates need 270 to become president. Without California, Democrats would have to swing states deep in Republican territory. California has 53 congressmen, 39 of whom are liberals (40 if you count Kevin McCarthy). In a House of Representatives with 382 members, can you imagine the difficulty liberals would have getting a majority if they had to climb out of a net deficit of 39 members? That would make the departure of the two Democratic senators merely icing on the cake!

And there are more bonuses! A must read.

Ironic, isn’t it? The liberals are going full-circle and now INSISTING on a reduced role for the Federal government, asserting more control at the State and local level.

“They legalize narcotics, first timidly for “medical” use, then boldly for “recreational” use, despite prohibitions in federal law, and have suffered no penalty for it.”

Actually, the legislation could not have passed without ‘conservative’ votes.

Not one drop of assistance, whether financial or otherwise. When the Mexicans retake half of California and run it into the ground like they have their own nation and want the residents to fund freebies for them like they do here in the states, any sane persons left there will understand they've been leeching the system for a long time. Let them be slaves for awhile. It might put some hair on their chest and rid the libtard thoughts that flow their drug-induced minds...

P.S. doesn't apply to all Californians. You know who I'm talking about...;)

“Independent California” would be a very small place — only a few counties are Blue.

And I don’t think those counties are economically viable on their own.

[Sasparilla]

Just imagine the foreign aid $$$ they would get under a Democrat in the White House.

[GailA]

Oh, that would be a great gift to the rest of the nation, they can take the 2 states above it with them, LIBTARD, GREEN IDIOT havens. Ship all the LBGT and welfare queens there. Let it go totally bankrupt when all businesses move out from over taxation.

Marcus Evans, VP of Yes California’s FB page indicates he’s a University of Southern California graduate; another “university” agitator. Seems all of the agitators I’ve run across are former university students. I keep running across this everywhere. All of the protesters are except for the special teams they bring in who are lower IQ “muscle” that they know will actually tump the cars over and beat up people. I think they choose people with prior records with violence for that or it sure seems that way. They have different classes it seems which would be in keeping with their World of Warcraft / Skyrim gaming mindset...:)

Let CA go if they pay back all of their federal grants, support dollars for welfare, keep the ports run by the port authorities, keep the military bases, and so goes the list. If not, then they are asking for another crushing defeat.

Only if they agree to accept being a British colony, subject to the queens or Kings order.

See, even though there is marker there of the land and all in it claimed for England, it was never disavowed by the Parliament or the Royals.

Secede from us, and they can get accustomed to the Union-Jack Flag and singing Hail Britannia.

[Don Corleone]

Those moronic liberals could vote for it but there is no way they can make it happen. More liberal snowflake delusion.

[Bryanw92]

I see the Calexit movement as a bitchy woman who used to be smoking hot who is issuing ultimatums or she’s “gonna walk out that door and never come back and THEN you’ll be sorry.”

I see the rest of America as that man who just wishes she’d stop talking and go.

[dblshot]

Open borders to Mexicans, don’t assimilate them, let them live in barrios and sanctuary cities, support their claims on California being stolen from Mexico. Eventually wonder why they took over and want to have it back.Duh.

[trublu]

That would reduce Hillary’s Electoral votes by 55 and her popular vote total by about 8 million. Hmmm.

[Eleutheria5]

Which song would be their national anthem? California Dreamin’ is out. Libtards don’t like the part about going into a church.

[Libloather]

Cher won’t have to move! Vote yes!

[Savage Beast]

Maybe on a county-by-county basis...

No, on second thought, disgruntled Californians--or anyone else--can move to Zimbabwe or North Korea (Canada and Mexico won't take them), but the real estate remains in the U.S.A.

Maybe California could revert to "Territory Status", i.e. become a "protectorate", until she is purged of illegals and the Leftists have had time to move to Zimbabwe.

Dear Mr. Straker,

You said "California can't unilaterally decide to withdraw from the Union."

Can you show us where in the Constitution it says a state cannot withdraw from the Union?

Thanks,

Go CALEXIT!

[Steamburg]

What a gift California could give to the United States. I wonder how many of them we could export back to their home country. Colorado could use a good cleansing.
