Podesta said that California, Oregon and Washington States would all secede. Maybe he hasn’t met the people in rural Oregon or Spokane.

Doesn’t need to. When was the last time those rural areas swung an election? If the controlling counties want to succeed, then they will try - no mater want the easters think.

There’s the example of West Virginia in 1861; rather than secede with the rest of the state, they formed a new state. Even if Portland and Seattle have the majority vote to secede, do you think that the farmers, ranchers small town folks would go along with it? I would bet the reaction would be “screw the majority state vote, those of us in 80 percent (by land) who vote against it ain’t going”.
