Poll: Three out of five Texans who support Trump want secession if Hillary becomes president

[TwistedTinkerbelle]

50. Lord I am so tired of this...

That bit of info says 3 out of 5 Trump supporters, not 3 out of 5 Texans. Big difference. So that makes it roughly 30% of Texans, not the majority.

Do you really think for one minute the powers that be would allow a Texas secession when to do so would wipe out a lot of big businesses here and *gulp* force the new nation to impose taxes???Hell no. You can kiss that whole scenario goodbye, it ain't happening.

As for the idea the Dems in Texas aren't doing enough, well hello we're making gains, with a hell of a lot of gerrymandering keeping us under wraps. Have you seen a Texas district map? The damn thing looks like plate of spaghetti noodles. It's that bad. I live in North Texas, Hood County, near DFW. Yes North Texas and no that's not the Panhandle...but hey guess where my congress critter lives? Way the hell out in West Texas, Midland no less. His home office is 300 miles west of me. He has a tiny office here in the county and he's been once in the last three years. He has no vested in interest in this county other than it consistently votes red because it takes in a huge swath of rural area. It's the same with most of the red districts, all them are drawn through the rural areas because those areas almost always vote Republican.

We got some of the map changed, but not enough to make a real difference. The minority vote is key to the success of ending the GOP strangle hold. We're making progress but it's slow. This is the first real shot we've had at making any kind of meaningful impact on the voting map.

Secession talk has been around as long as I can remember and that's going back to the damn 60's. It's nothing new. the only thing that's changed is the idiots have found each via the internet and made their own little pocket of crazy to call home. That's it.
