Living in CA I’ve read a fair amount about this. What an idiot idea. Not only does it have ZERO chance of going anywhere, as some have noted Libs would be MORE Senate seats. So what this narcissistic nitwit has done is ensure that more Libs show up at the polls here in CA in 2014 just to vote against this. What does that mean? It means a continuing Dim Super majority in the State Legislature.
As a friend of mine used to say, and what I would say to this idiot is ... You’re rich but how come you aren’t smart?
You make another excellent point here re immigration
I don’t think this will come to pass soon, maybe after the American Revolution II it wont even be necessary..
I believe there was a proposal to that effect in the late 1930s ... abandoned with the entry of the US into Round 2 of the Great War.
No the libs would not have more seats.
Three areas would elect republicans and possibly a fourth, the house would not change significantly.
I’m all in, I am sick to death the of SF liberals running the state from their clump in the SF, Sacramento corridor.
The issue is already qualified for the ballot, and they only need 800,000+ signatures.
Four of those areas are going to support this completely.
I live in Ca too and have followed various split ideas for years
i dont see the math in how this proposed 6 way split would yield more liberal senators
see my post 31
Im always open to being educated and happens on this site often
thx
I see this a play to get 10 more Senators for ‘California’. I suggest every county in Texas become a state, that means we get 506 new Senators. Take that Libs!
California reached its current state of near bankruptcy precisely by adopting harebrained policies like this one.
However, the Six-Californias solution is so preposterously awful it would finally send the entire west coast over the financial cliff — which is probably the only way to get rid of Governor Jerry Brown and his cronies so that the gigantic mess they made might be cleaned up.
Some say Jefferson won’t have enough tax base.
Los Angeles wants all that water from Lake Shasta/Sacramento River. They’ll have to buy it from us.
Pure BS. You must be under the false assumption that every
Californian all over the state is a lib. The only good part of
this otherwise silly-assed plan is that it would result in an
overall gain for the GOP in the US Senate.
I see at most two of the six ending up Republican.
Fourth. Central California pokes a bit farther west.
I see at most 2 Demo locks.......West Cal and Silicon Val.
Northern Cal is saddled w/ North Bay and Sacto County both
Dem strong areas but Placer Co & El Dorado Co strong for
GOP. Add military communities of Solano Co and GOP is
bolstered. The rest of the proposed states are GOP to varying
degrees.
Perhaps we could win one or two and break that massive strnglehold the Democrats have on those seats and electoral votes.
