    So 'Yes California' is lead by a Trump supporter and the movement has significant support from Russia? Sounds legit.

    They would at least make it to the first devastating earthquake.

    Diagree. They may start hashing out an exit strategy but I doubt they would be dumb enough to not at least sit back and see how it pans out.

    remember where that story about the US splintering came from about 5 or so years ago?

    Russia. This is starting to make sense.

    you know they contribute way more to the federal treasury than they receive, right?

    It's inconvenient that California is successful. Obviously most other states couldn't operate like California, but that any state can undermines the anarchists who want the Somalian model to become the norm.

    Without California, Trump Would've Won 1.4 Million More Popular Votes Than Clinton

    And as the Trump folks point out they did not campaign in California. If the election were about popular vote rather than electoral college vote then their strategy would have been different.

    In the football game on Sunday the rules say that the team with the most points wins. If the rules were changed that the team with the most yards wins then the strategy would be different.

    Which makes them impervious.

    Not true. While they get less back than they give, it is close to even.

    Pelosi is indeed a Butch Jones type of leader.

    That simply isn't true. Imagine the cost of doing business independently.

    I've never bought that argument. Droves of Californian democrats didn't bother voting because the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

    Yeah, but you could say the same about any and every state that was a hard Trump or Clinton lean. It's an impossible situation to guess.

    Tenacious D The law is of supreme importance, or no importance

    And the Dems keep appointing her.

    I agree - but I guess that's my problem with the original statement.

    I suppose one could at least look at total population of hard lean states and historical voter turnout for each party in blowout vs contested elections across the country and then extrapolate.

    Regardless, it isn't a good argument to make because it is very complex.

    ...and she is the Peoples Champion isn't a good argument to make by anyone other than Butch Jones.

    But in the context of California vs. the rest of the nation (which is what I believe started the discussion), the 1.4mil+ in Trump's favor is relevant.
