Poll reveals 1 in 3 Californians support 'Calexit'
WFLD ^ | July 31, 2017 | Staff

A recent poll suggests one in three California residents would support a possible secession from the U.S. because of their opposition to President Donald Trump.

"There's such hostility towards Trump that many citizens believe it would be smarter to leave than fight," Democratic political strategist Steve Maviglio told Reuters.

A Reuters survey revealed that 32 percent support the so-called “Calexit,” an increase of 12 percent since the last poll was conducted in 2014.

"Which state would be the first voted out? California. Of the voters willing to ditch a state or two, 53 percent pick the Golden State."

As life-long Californians, my wife and I fully support Calexit. We hope to exit the state sometime next year.

Probably a different definition of "Calexit" being applied here.

That’s a lot of Electoral votes the Democrats would lose. And sets in the Houe. And 2 Senators.

Checking out the county by county results of the 2016 Presidential election shows that only half of the counties went democrat. We can assume that if Sacramento wants to secede then they will do so with less than they think. Plus, the San Diego Naval Base, Vandenberg AFB, etc are federal facilities and may not transfer quietly.

That’s a great prediction...

Just 30 years too late.

Californians are smarter than I thought.

Kalifornia must pay it’s share of the national debt first.
Then pay for a wall around the state bordering the USA. Then bye bye.

You make a very valid point. There would go 55 electoral votes distributed to the other 49.

Would California be called the Confederate State of America? Wasn’t this tried once before, like prior to 1861?

Rodriguez says to Obama:

“Many of the millennials, Dreamers, undocumented citizens – and I call them citizens because the contribute to this country are fearful of voting…”

“So if I vote, will Immigration know where I live? Will they come for my family and deport us?”

OBAMA: “Not true, and the reason is, first of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself.“

Or China would invade and take the place over; maybe invade and take Mexico took, in fact probably take over all the way to the Panama Canal, which they already have. They could move north as well, and end up taking over the whole west coast. They would be a formidable enemy.

They wouldn't get any of it if we drive the traitors into the Pacific and redden it with their blood.

After we loot the place, everyone surviving who was involved in the secession attempt would be deprived of their civil rights. Republicans would control California for a generation. *Net* gain of 110 electoral votes and Congressmen/Senators.
