Texas would probably take the mid-west up to the Canadian Border with them.
And the only office holders can be people who were born in Texas. Period.
They can load the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock on a flatbed and ship it to a blue state.
And hopefully the Southeast and Mountain States...
But..... What happens when most of Virginia wants in? All but about 4 or 5 areas are as RED as they can be. Think about Michigan Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The only reason they have Dem Governors is because of the cities. Most of the state is Conservative. That’s the way it is in most of the country.
What happens when the people of Colorado, outside of Denver-Boulder-Colorado Springs want in? Even most of Oregon and Washington are like that.
LOL! If Texas walks out then I agree that it'll be the beginning of the splitting up of the U.S. But given a choice I'd rather join with the other Great Plains states and form our own country than hitch our wagon to Texas.
Works for me.
