Well, not necessarily. Political inclination of the new Senators would depend largely on boundary lines of the new states.
Rio Grande Valley is predominantly Hispanic and would likely vote blue. San Antonio is, and always has been, Hispanic. Inner cities of Houston, Dallas, Ft. Worth would vote Democratic.
Houston has so many Katrina settlers and Hispanics that it’s anybody’s guess.
Pretty much would depend on how many right-thinking (pun intended) suburbs and rural towns are included in each new state to dilute the idiots.
Half the population is, by definition, below average intelligence. And they can all vote.
Neither secession nor separate states will happen. But it won’t hurt to make some noise.
YEah, I can imagine this conversation taking place over a cracker barrel by a wood stove in Georgia, 1859.
