re: As a Californian:

Not how I see it at all. Again, California would have to convince all of these companies to basically fund this new country and all of their liberal policies. On top if that, all of the conservatives would move. California would also have to build a military from scratch. There is no chance that US soldiers and equipment are just going to go to bed a US soldier one night and wake up the soldier of a new country the next morning. Cali would go belly up in days and then we would have to clean up the mess. It's not ever going to happen. This is sabre rattling from Dems that want to energize their voter base. Nothing more.
