Trump also clashed with his party's establishment, by refusing endorse Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sen. John McCain. He relented on Friday during a campaign stop in Wisconsin, endorsing Ryan and McCain, as well as New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, in their primary battles.

How does a state “decide” to become independent in this day? Referendum? State legislature? Governor decree? In the days (weeks? months?) leading up to the vote, what do you think will be going on? How much FedGov agitating will be going on? How many “voters” will be slipped in? How many leaders of the secession movement will have a sudden and unexpected change of heart one morning?
I would say a referendum. If things fall apart quickly I can see that happening. I can see citizens of a state like Texas DEMANDING a referendum. Why go down with the ship?
