Texas Secession Movement 2016: Lone Star State Republicans Vote To Leave The United States

Texas wants out, again.

The movement for the Lone Star State to secede from the United States is gaining some traction again after a state Republican committee voted Wednesday to allow delegates at Friday's state GOP convention to vote on a platform to push a divorce from the United States.

It’s unlikely the resolution will succeed, but eager secessionists are giddy things have gotten this far.
