If we booted the kommies from this state, brought the mormons with us, invade and boot the NAs from new mexico, and brought AZ with us, and then the middle of the country along with texas, we would be sitting pretty good. Little hope of nevada, though the Sierras make a nice defensive wall, as well as the northern rockies. Texas needs food, and will want the breadbasket to come with it. I would venture to guess half the military would refuse to assist stopping secession, the rest would come join us,lol.
