I don't think California could stand on it's own Sew. It might be the 6th largest economy, (sure about that?, I have my doubts), but there are a lot of fortune 500 HQ in CA with plants in other states or countries. If they broke off on their own, they'd lose a lot of the tax benefits.
Besides, the large population centers are not heavy manufacturing areas. It's not like Chicago or even Boston. Those cities have tons of small manufacturing companies but LA, San Diego and Bay Area do not.
Believe me, we sell a ton of our products in California, (I'm going there for a week in January) but heathcare, hospitality, and financial service companies are the biggest buyers.
No, when you factor in the mentality of the people of the state, Texas is the one most likely. Hell, they think their another country now for crying out loud....! If they broke away, they'd pass a "State Income Tax" which they don't have now, and they'd bring in some serious cash.
But no state is going to leave under Trump; why would they?
Liberals cry about silly things like bathroom laws, but when push comes to shove, you think a liberal state is going to go broke over boys who want to pee in a girls room? Nope.
