Alrighty then, lets just sell California to Mexico and use the proceeds to pay for the wall. Let em start making movies in Mexico.

I really dunno. But I guess its all moot since it really is a pipe dream. Whatever happened to those fault lines? I had such high hopes for that! Unfortunately, we are joined at the hip with these folks with no easy way out. It would be great if all of President Trumps supporters quit going to the movies and hit em the best way possible. In the wallet. Affecting someones wallet always gets their attention. Whether you take money out, or put it in, it is an attention getter.

I am nowhere near an expert, but wouldnt splitting it in 2 give the Repubs their own state? Therefore, minimizing the Dems electoral votes?

HHHMM. Gotta say I never looked at it like that. Interesting. I'm sure there are plenty of enemies that would finance them for such a feat. Good point. Maybe split it in 2 states is looking better and better but I guess they wouldn't be interested in doing that though. I reckon we will all just have to continue to hear the belly-aching cuz it's obvious they aren't going to stop.

Yep,
Now they will have to buy it from the US. I'll bet it won't be as cheap as it is now. This is just more snowflake posturing, they don't like the outcome of the election, and are hoping more people will listen to their whining. While I would be all for them leaving, they cannot sustain themselves without Federal help, and would have to tax their "citizens' so much, that the population will drop overnight as everyone crosses the border.

Agreed. Which is why I so desperately want them to try it. They would fail in every way and quick too. Kinda reminds me of a kid wanting to run away from home. The second the sun goes down and they get cold, they will come back.

An interesting quote from the article:
"America already hates California, and America votes on emotions," Marcus Evans, vice president of Yes California told to the Los Angeles Times. "I think we'd have the votes today if we held it."

I think a more reasonable approach would be to split it into 2 states maybe? But then again, smarter folks than me might find fault in it but either way, California needs a good spanking.
