one out of every seven dollars in the usa is produced by California....

Trump has lost before he starts.... and that assuming new york, washington , and a lot of other blue states dont join.

Much of the North Country and Western New York are tied into Canada. Culturally and economically. I grew up there so my closest major city was always Montreal.
