Right. Vermont does have a secessionist movement headed by an egg-head retired Duke professor named Naylor. He’s a fuzzy headed bespeckled bald guy who ties what little hair he has into a ponytail. He’s dubbed it “The Second Vermont Republic,” since Vermont was an independent republic from 1787 until 1791 before joining the union as the 14th state. Since more than half of Vermonters get a green check from Uncle Sam there is absolutely no chance of this movement succeeding. Too bad. It would be a nice way for America to unload some kooks and some financial obligations at the same time.
Any state that can elect Bernie Sanders, Patrick Leahy and Howard Dean can leave any time and take Some Harvard freaks with them on their way out.
