“I can see much of Washington State doing the same.”

Take a look at my home state, Minnesota.

If you were to carve away the inner cities of Minneapolis/St Paul plus the first ring suburbs, Minnesota becomes a GOP-leaning state.

Sure there are a few Dem-leaning areas in the outstate (Austin, Mankato and the Iron Range) but as a whole, we could definitely elect more Republicans statewide.

First step. What’s the next step?

(Why don't you ask them?)

[Leep]

They could deport any illegal entering their state.

[Fireone]

Totally agree, Steve.
Minnesota is a Conservative state, with 4 socialist S#$thole enclaves. Mpla., St.Paul, Rochester, and Duluth.
Trouble is, Conservatives go to work each day, and Socialists run for office.

Too late for a peaceful breakup. Most of the southen half of the state is being occupied by mexican nationals, making it an occupied protectorate of mexico. The middle is full of far leftist socialist-democrats. The northern part is full of socialist-democrats running away from the shithole mess that they created in the south.

Best chance, revert the state back to territory under federal control.

Secession isn’t an option.

“First step. What’s the next step?”

Arrest all the appropriate democrats. And then the third...and final...step.

Art IV Sec 3 Clause 1

If a State were acting within the confines of the Constitution, I would agree.

When a State ceases to do so, all bets are off. I am sure that you agree that The People do have the Natural Right to throw off the chains of an over-bearing government.

[ZULU]

Ergo, Congress has the power to recognize the establishment of a new state and the Courts are out of it?

If so, good. Then it is more possible.

[SoConPubbie]

Wasted effort. Just focus on fixing California instead of DOA publicity steps that do more discredit than anything else. Face it, the chance of splitting California is 0.0000000000000000001 percent. Ain’t happening. The majority of residents, the tyranny of the majority, would never go along with it.

OK, you first. How do we fix it??

[1_Inch_Group]

The dude interviewed actually mentioned the splitting of Virginia and hopes it goes that way...

[SoConPubbie]

Unconstitutional. Clearly states no state may be divided to make a new state. WV being created by Lincoln should not have been allowed.

Seriously???

Maine was created by separating it from the state of Massachusetts

[SoConPubbie]

Unconstitutional. Clearly states no state may be divided to make a new state. WV being created by Lincoln should not have been allowed.

Article IV of the Constitution:

New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Ditch San Diego County or you just give two more senate seats to the libs.

[DiogenesLamp]

WV being created by Lincoln should not have been allowed.

A lot of stuff done by Lincoln should not have been allowed.

[DiogenesLamp]

Maine was created by separating it from the state of Massachusetts

"In 1819, Massachusetts agreed to permit secession, sanctioned by voters of the rapidly growing region the following year."

“Unconstitutional....WV being created by Lincoln should not have been allowed.”

HAHA, ok, it’ll never happen.

Replace judges in 9th circuit, break up 9th circuit, but don't let California be all in one--maybe southwest US--below San Francisco and then east, and northwest US--San Francisco and north. But get new judges in, picked by Trump, not by local reps. Do not let Pelosi, Waters, and others pick.

Preempt states on Bill of Rights--1st, 2nd amendments, etc. Don't let California arrest people for speaking ill of people, nor let them deny US citizens right to bear arms.

Secure end to sanctuary cities and states via carrot & stick. Cut off funding, arrest them.

Implement eVerify and eliminate jobs for illegal aliens.

End H1B and other programs, force California companies to hire Americans.

Create change and success, people will flock to Republicans and conservatives when they see improvements.

Stay focused and not delve into social conservative issues. They are important but initially more distraction than helpful.

Anyway, these will all help fix and liberate California. A constructive approach with results makes more sense than tilting at windmills that are never going to happen.

I’ve seen the map and it sure as hell isn’t “conservative.”
