Houston Chronicle ^

If anyone needs proof that the presidential race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton truly is dividing the country, they should look to Texas.

According to poll results from Public Policy Polling released Tuesday, three out of five Texans who support Donald Trump said they would support seceding from America if Hillary Clinton becomes president.

About 40% of Texans are Republican, 30% are independents, and 30% are DemoRats. It would appear that only 2 out of 3 independents would consider secession.

You're missing the point - they guy tries to speak for all Americans, instead of select groups:

He doesn't buy this premise that the country has to be as divided as it is today, and we shouldn't either. Trump's going after Blue states, he's going after minority groups that Dems think they have a lock on -- and he should. The guy has landslide potential like no one we've seen since Reagan.

But we’d need to leave behind or wall off Austin.

I’ve said for a good while, that if Clinton wins, Texas needs to file Articles of Secession. She would finish off the union anyway, so we may as well get a head start.

I have always wondered what would happen to all of the Federally owned land if a state seceded, Would it all have to be purchased from the Feds at an inflated price?

You miss-read it. The title says 3 out of five TRUMP SUPPORTERS from Texas want to secede, not that 3 out of 5 Texans do.

Why not get them to self-deport? Make it painful to not be Texan.

Let's negotiate a split.

No hard feelings that way. Liberals can have half - and we can have half. They can open their borders and let every third world person who wants in to BE IN. They won't have to do Sanctuary Cities... every city in their hellhole will welcome any and all criminals from any country that wants to dump them.

They want ‘programs’ so everyone can have everything? GREAT - WHY NOT? They can steal from each other... and not from us. Also, they can disarm THEIR population and burn all the guns... no NRA in that ‘country’.

They'll love it... they won't have to compromise with us anymore... We just want OUT - and away from them. Maybe Trump can negotiate if for us...

Only three out of five? That says we have let way too many illegals and Louisiana Blacks into our state.

Sorry, but Texas is a wuss state, all this talk and it obeys the Feds in not having a border and letting the entire state be overrun by illegals. Sorry, but Texas you’ve already failed, and miserably ...

I wonder what cooperation would entail anyway since NY doesn’t facilitate gun ownership.

Good point!

It's only the non working people who need Washington.

Well that's the point. NY is against gun ownership, but, most of the people here are armed to the teeth.

Recently met a guy at the gun club who was trying out his holograph scope. Amazing!
