    Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said Texas could secede from the US if Democrats "fundamentally destroy the country."

    Cruz was speaking at an event at Texas A&M in October when an audience member asked him about his views on Texas seceding, also known as "Texit." Cruz said he wasn't "there yet" when it came to the question of whether Texas should secede, but said he understood the sentiment behind the secessionist movement.

    Things already HAVE become hopeless and I support Texit 100% - I hope I live long enough to see it.

    "if things become hopeless?" ted is probably the most hopeless american (or is he canadian ? we have. if texas secedes again frim civilized nations my recommendation would be to give him command of the alamo. when his troops die to the last man he might be in cancun.

    here it is. on his wikipedia page. "born in calgary alberta in 1970." let's see, ted's father became a citizen in 2005. what is with this guy, le thinks he can just walk across the northern border and collect checks from the government?

    here is a good line from the wikipedia "Alan Dershowitz said: "Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant."" isn't dershowitz the off the charts brilliant legal scholar who thought it was ok to get a massage at epstein's because he "never took his underwear off?"

    I will take a Canadian that comprehends Liberty and The Constitution as my Senator over any democrat, any day of the week.

    Thank God for Texas!

    Shouldn't the headline read, "Ted Cruz Not in Favor of Secession"?

    I cut and paste the headline directly from the article, just as you instructed (or maybe it was Lee S.) when I asked how to do this proper?

    Nevertheless, I support Texas secession 100% - the sooner the better.

    My comment was sarcasm. The headlines I've read in several articles suggest Cruz is in favor of secession, but his actual words suggest caution.

    Sorry to somewhat deflect from the topic, but I for one would be in favor of having all Red and Purple stated Capitalistic Republicans/Conservatives secede from the union as an intelligent move to separate them from the Blue state American hating Socialistic Marxists.

    What would be the consequence of turning one nation into a bunch of small nations?

    Democrats would lose funding for all of their absurd spit-in-America's-face policies because they would have to pay for them, themselves...

    I'm only suggesting that the dividing of Capitalists from Marxists would result in there only being two nations. Any so-called Independents, Libertarians or Green Party enthusiasts et al would have to make up their own minds as to which nation best supports their particular ideology(s). You would have to admit that there is this huge political/ideological divide in America today, where there looks like there is no chance in hell that the two factions Republicans & Democrats will ever agree on anything, and thus, the chance of further hatred and violence against each of them continues to grow unabated.

    Would that make those separate states vulnerable to world powers like China and Russia?

    Current Supreme Court precedent, in Texas v. White, holds that the states cannot secede from the union by an act of the state. More recently, in 2006, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia stated, "If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede."

    Such a shame to see such hatred of the United States. If you hate the country, you are free to leave. But you can't take one of our states with you.

    FYI: Cruz, if you ever see this message, if you really want to leave, I'll buy your plane ticket. I'll buy plane tickets for your entire family. You can run away from your state again and go to Cancun if you want. Hell, if you promise not to sully my alma mater again, drinks are on me both on your flight and during your stay in Cancun.

    The left has turned America into a toilet - not the Right. Our flaw is we did nothing to stop it, and allowed the left to do what they have.
