-——At least leave behind the counties that would like to annex to a different state.——

That is what is on my mind this morning. There is a feeling of great change in the air. And yet, conservatives eschew change.

Oregon has made a very major and significant effort to become part of Idaho. The same might be true of Washington. I am not sure.

I can’t grasp what state would those of you in red California counties gravitate?

Maybe take all of the counties in eastern Washington, Oregon and California from the Canadian border to the open-door with Mexico, and make it one state called "Buffer".

Or multiple states. North Buffer, South Buffer, Central Buffer, etc.
