29. Southern Congressmen would NEVER go for a split up - The KNOW the south would fail at all things.

We and THEY know the GOP cannot govern. Even RW southerners would finally revolt b/c they didn't get their farm money or their college team money or their refinery and oil subsidies.

A stand-alone South would FAIL MISERABLY so McConnell and Cruz will never let them split away. THAT, is why the North is in DEEP TROUBLE. The south keeps the north from progressing.

Heck, they don;t even have to take half of the debt !!
