You don’t want the 2 nations to merge as a political entity, you’ll just have 30 million more Democrats. There should be an economic merger, like the EU states. Freer flow of goods and people. You might even see a northward exodus of progressives and socialists who can finally live out their Scandinavian socialist fantasies.
How come we are governed by a conservative administration and you just elected Obama for the second time, perhaps a merger might get America out of it current socialist death spiral.
