We in the Pacific Northwest would be thrilled to keep our plentiful water and hydroelectric resources. But I digress.
The real question is, how do the hard working farmers, ranchers and doers from any state's hinterland cope with the moochers from the cities?

I have thought for years that it was more likely that California would split into 2 or even 3 States. As much as I would like to see them leave the Union I doubt we could be that lucky. Democrats depend on their 55 electoral votes.

It is amusing that when Texas residents commented that they would consider seceding if Hillary was elected, the liberals all shouted that the Civil war had settled the question of secession. Now that the shoe's on the other foot, they see no shame in a complete reversal of logic.

It's interesting that a Russian scientist predicted the breakup of the U.S. into six regional countries due to the extreme distance ideologically and economically between regions. This #Calexit thinking is reflective of that path.

no

Can't wait to see it. They can take Oregon ,Washington and Nevada with them. No loss, our gain. And then if the rest of the US manages to get stupid about going more Statist, they won't be able to complain when Texas leaves too.

+1!

I think Kalifornia has a distinct shortage of that particular commodity., but maybe a couple could be dug up, or borrowed.

Indeed: TANSTAAFL!

No. Saner heads will look around and count things (water, electricity, gasoline, wheat, automobiles, etc.) and realize that Cali doesn't have the resources it needs to go it alone.

Even as part of the US, Cali is a failed welfare state.

Don 't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
California can be the North American Venezuela.
The people clamoring for Calexit are in a mist of myopic altruism. Socialists heal thy selves.

Short answer - No

No matter how much the rest of us might wish they would shut up and go away.

Exactly right. But they have had ample opportunity to accept reality and they have refused. It's time they had to pay for their mistakes instead of expecting the fly-over red states to pay for it. TANSTAAFL.

I agree, they can go if they want, but they need to think it through. California is not the wonderland of riches they think it is. The costs and needs would be a lot higher than they think right now.

I sincerely hope they secede successfully and peacefully using states rights as the constitutional justification. It would virtually guarantee the decline of political power in the Dem Party in the US for decades. Chances are near zero.
