Never going to happen. Too many red welfare states leech off the money flowing out of California. We are propping up a ridiculous number of them. Not to mention the fact that architecture from CA puts a lot of food on the table for many stars West of the Mississippi.

Plus, it would set a very dangerous precedent for other states.

On the flip side, with California gone, the GOP would basically never lose the House, the Senate, and the Presidency again.
