Completely ignoring the likelihood of it, and even the will of the people, just as a thought experiment imagine if the majority of Democrats and the majority of Republicans were in favor of splitting the country up and having a Democrat country and a Republican country and this is what they came up with
As it focuses on where more of the supporter bases are for both parties than state lines.
So assuming this general map is agreed to, what would both countries be like from an economic, demographics and social point of view? What would be the strengths and weaknesses of both countries? Which country would be stronger ecomically and in the years ahead?
Also remember I am not arguing for this, I am just interested in the thought experiment.
