Texas will never secede again, the economy is too dependent on the rest of the nation to do so. It’s the same reason China would never attack America. But, who are we kidding anyways? Romney will be another G.W. Bush and we’ll be explaining away his decisions for a long time to come.
Trade adjustments occur all of the time, but if Texas left others would probably join or would trade with Texas no matter what the feds say. The entire situation would be uncharted territory.
It is very unlikely that Texas would try to secede. Still, I would support it. We don’t need to be yoked with the culturally and economically rotten NE, West Coast, and parts of the upper midwest.
If we get the House and Senate and send a repeal bill to Romney, he’ll sign it whether he wants to or not. He wants to be President too bad to throw away the only reason he’s there. With Obama, it’ll go into effect and never be dismantled. One play with a crap hand.
From a practical standpoint, you’re probably right. But it’s fun to let your imagination loose.
