Of course they would be bankrupt within a week of seceding and begging for reinstatement, but that would be their problem."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

Democrats would likely have a much harder time getting a majority in the House of Representatives without California, though.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI think he might have meant Democrats in general - especially those outside of Cali. Without Cali, they really don't stand a chance.Originally posted by Terraceth View PostHe was talking about Democrats outside of California.
But, hey, if California Democrats are willing to leave their party in the rest of the country at a disadvantage then I say more power to them. Even better, maybe Democrats left behind in the remaining 49-states will flee to the newly liberated California.
You know, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of California seceding. I'm honestly not seeing any downsides here.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

A) Visiting the Army Air Field in Riverside where my dad trained for WWII - check!
2) Sitting in VIP for the MCAS Mirimar Air Show - check!
C) Driving the Pacific Coast Highway - check!
California can now leave the country!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
