[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although Texas with its own power grid is best positioned to secede, no single state would ever do so for a variety of logistical reasons.   What should be concerning is the support Texas is receiving from other states.  25 so far.  Only need 34 states to call for a Constitutional Convention. That is where things could get interesting.

Do you really think the wealthier states would not agree to moving on from the current model? The huge over representation of rural states? The wealthier populated states are tired of being held back and paying for those 25 states. They are tired of being held hostage by a minority of the population. The current system works overwhelmingly in the favor of those 25 states. They would be crazy to change it because there is no way they would get anything close to what they have now.

Now let’s talk about a state like Wyoming the most conservative state by voting. It’s a 70/30% split rep/dem and that amounts to roughly 120k voters. Texas is 52/47 split and that delta is about 600k voters. That 600k is more vs the total population of Wyoming. How much power would Wyoming have in the new republic with Texas. Everyone of those 25 states will have major problem with other breakaway states.

Also do you really think the TEXIT people are going to subject themselves to another state or vice versa? [/quote]
