As we in the 2nd Vermont Republic like to joke, Texans are secessionists for all the wrong reasons.

However! Here’s the majority opinion “money shot” from this TIME magazine poll:

“Texans hold an unfavorable opinion of both candidates overall. 59% of voters see Clinton as an unfavorable choice, with 53% seeing Trump that way. The numbers come from Democratic pollster Public Policy Polling. Trump’s lead in the Lone Star State is almost entirely based on his standing with seniors. He leads Clinton 63% to 33% among Texans over 65. Overall, 40% of Texans would support secession if Clinton wins in November.”

We’ve already banned Donald Trump from visiting the 2nd Vermont Republic.

Maybe Hillary Rodham Clinton – the pro-corporate imperial war hawk who never met a neoliberal policy she didn’t like – should be next?

Free Vermont!
