There is no argueing than most state boundaries, especially in the Western states, make little economical, geographical or cultural sense. In this respect, there has been 51st state proposals that deserve consideration. I’m thinking in particular about the Delmarva Peninsula or the reunion of Eastern WA and the ID panhandle.

But clearly this is not the case here. A southern CA state with half of the central plain on the other side of the Tehachapi moutains but without LA??? This guy had to fail geography in elementary school to suggest such NONSENSE.

More seriously, if we were to start diving states purely along partisan lines, why just stop there? This is exactly the kind of centrifuge forces that, in the long run, would tear apart a nation that otherwise gets pride and strength from its diversity.
