Why hasn’t Texas broken into five states if they have that power?

Ten conservative Senators and a bunch of Representatives could be a game changer today.

Not many people know about this and I would love to see Barry’s head explode when a bunch of new Texas congressional representatives show up in the District of Corruption to take their seats.

Actually, Representatives being apportioned on the basis of (1 per State + additional Reps based on Population), it would only add about 4 Representatives.

But it would add 8 Senators.

So, yes, it would be a game-changer in the Senate.

Texas would have ten US Senators which would change the game in the Senate. If enough conservative States similarly divided in order to get more conservative Senators, the Senate would be where the socialist agenda is stopped.
Texas would still have the same number of Congressional Representatives.
