CalExit!

Post by Ibanez »

Backers of a proposed constitutional amendment seeking California’s secession from the U.S. can begin collecting voter signatures to qualify for the 2018 ballot, the secretary of state’s office said Thursday.

The so-called Calexit movement emerged within days of the upset presidential victory of Republican Donald Trump, who lost California by nearly 4.3 million votes. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that nearly one in three Californians support the state leaving the U.S.

Proponents have until July 25 to collect 585,407 valid voter signatures to qualify for the November 2018 ballot.

These crybabies have been whinning for a long time. If California left, the Democrats would be in even more trouble than they already are. That's a huge base.

Logically, I don't see it happening.

We maintain balance by routing The Wall between Texas and Oklahoma. Sort of a reverse Missouri Compromise...
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

I like it. Let's also return the areas we took from Mexico in 1848 and the Gadsden Purchase (SC will take the blame for that one.)

Like I said in the other thread, take out Cali and Trump wins the popular vote and would have won the Electoral by a landslide.

Well of course if you take out a state with almost 40 million people it's going to change things dramatically.

DUH!

However, Clinton ran up the score in NY and CA. Why? Why run up the score in states you know you'll win over states you might be weak in? :suspicious: I can't wait for the "autopsy" to come out. I'm sure 99% of it will be Comey and Russia and 1 or 2 pages on their failure to attract Bernie voters and their abysmal candidate.

Won't pass. Cali's state pension deficit will crack $400B this year, they will need the Feds to bail them out when it goes broke...and the public employee unions will be there to make sure it never passes. Class dismissed. :coffee:

These signatures have a 500 character limit?

What if I have more personalities than that?

So you're hedging your bets. 8-)

It's fair to say that you're still more religious than Drumpf!
