It’s a county by county thing in CA. They wouldn’t invite San Diego along for the ride if they thought they wouldn’t go for it. San Diego and Orange Counties are more conservative than the rest of the state.
They're more conservative, but we're talking by Cali standards, not Alabama's. Both are more moderate now with slight leans respectively. San Diego has been blue the last 3 elections, and 2016 was OC's first time going blue since 1936.
Even then, no way OC and SD counties would ever agree to bolt. Together LA and OC make a GDP larger than Saudi Arabia, who's currently building little mini Dubai's. They'd have to prop up Fresno, Tulare, and Barstow even more than they do now. OC is synonymous with LA.

Lol. Yeah the pensions are bad, but youd still be missing out on that balling LA and San Fran money and investment. Though I guess if this gerrymandered map did happen, they'd get Disneyland at least.

The thing with CA is the GDP isn't evenly distributed anyway, hence there's not much to lose.
California is crazy, why follow their nonsense? They are the most anti law & order state in the U.S. Why think about copying anything they do, they show how they don't want any law or order by trying to secede from the U.S.
Yep, crazy California and their 6 billion dollar surplus. We definitely shouldn't copy them.
So you're saying there's no problem with the CA public pension fund? Okay then, post on your links to back it up. No left wing like CNN or HUFFPO links please.

BTW, I didn't know Fox News owned the LA Times.
I didn't say there wasn't a problem with the pension fund, or that CA is perfect in every way.
Just mentioned that they have a massive surplus. And that other states could learn a thing or two from Jerry Brown in how he got a once near bankrupt state to this place. The pension thing was put in place many years ago, and yes, it's a problem.
Things are actually splendid, pension issues not withstanding.
What's the purpose? South Carolina is a small state. Any of the metros can survive. There is just no purpose.
To get back on topic ... a couple hundred years ago ... someone... I cant recall who... coined a description of South Carolina ... often quoted... as "to small to be an empire ... to big to be an insane asylum"....
Still true I would imagine...lol
