Doesn't matter, the cities will never vote for it. Texas will vote all Blue no later than 2020. No chance of secession.

If they're pulling 62 people out of Fort Worth I don't think there's exactly a groundswell of support.

aquila48, Reuters did a nationwide US poll during last fall's Scottish referendum on whether Americans would want their state to peacefully secede from the US.

34% of Texans said yes.

They were not asked what their opinion was if the secession were not to be peaceful.

central va, even if I were the twerpiest twerp who ever twerped, it wouldn't change the fact that I have not spoken on behalf of Texans - I've merely observed what Texans themselves say.

It is the Russians in Texan clothing who make up the TNM who are pretendinmg to speak for Texas.

Interestingly, the poll numbers also suggested that the desire of Virginians and New Jerseyans to secede are effectively the same within the poll's margin of error.

Of course, New Jersey was also the last loyal state to abolish slavery, and we also voted for McClellan in 1864.

Interestingly, all the former Confederate states besides Texas were 10 points or more lower on the secession question than Texas.

That's probably because the Civil War wasn't really fought in Texas - Virginians and Georgians had more firsthand knowledge of the practical consequences of secession than Texans ever did.

But enough Texans survived the Battle of Franklin to at least bring the message home, apparently.
