D1-that was a good post above-CA consistently enacts laws that befoul the rest of the American economy. You must foresee a time where they’ll have to be bailed out because of their profligacy?
I don’t favor jettisoning states.
I don’t like what is going on in California, but California has been abandoned by the RNC for decades.
When was the last time a Republican Presidential contender came here to push Conservatism? Ronald Reagan was the last guy.
32 years ago, the Republican party abandoned the state, and it’s representatives in the state haven’t voiced support for Conservative ideals or Conservative candidates.
How much Tide, Campbell’s Soup, or Ford Cars would we sell in state, if they got the corporate support the RNC gives Conservatism in California?
Trump will compete for California. It will be the first time Conservatism has been hawked in the state since Reagan.
If as I suspect that brings Conservative principles back into vogue in the state, we should see more candidates run on a Conservative ticket and win state seats.
A guy like Trump changes everything.
So no, I do not favor jettisoning states.
We retake them.
I don’t want to live in a swiss cheese nation.
