California will be more of an Estonia or Latvia than a Belarus or Kazakhstan when Trump's Nationalistic pull causes the nation to start to fracture like what happened in the 80s in the USSR.

Will there be any R's in the CA House delegation in 10 years?

Yes. CA-01 was 57% Romney, CA-04 was 58% Romney, CA-08 was 56% Romney, CA-22 was 57% Romney, CA-23 was 62% Romney, CA-42 was 57% Romney, CA-50 was 60% Romney. All of those are unflippable. CA-45 and CA-48 were 55% Romney and thus are very close to unflippable. But with only these seats going R, the breakdown would be 44-9 D (or 46-7 if CA-45/48 were flipped), which is a pretty significant change from the current 39-14 D breakdown.

The population and significance of California is far more than the Baltic states to Russia. With that said, I'm seriously wanting California to declare its independence as a new nation. A new California Republic would be greater than anything California could achieve as a state.

The fact that a state of nearly 40,000,000 has as many Senators as a state of 600,000 is a testament to how deeply flawed and undemocratic our upper chamber of the legislative branch really is.

Yet again, I don't understand why Silver is getting so much crap for this.  He was wrong about Trump in the primaries, because he attached too much certainty to the lack of historical precedent for Trump.  It's very hard to calculate "unknown unknowns," and he fessed up to his errors doing so.  

But this isn't a case with "unknown unknowns."  This is the simple mathematical reality that, if Clinton gets a strong swing in California and Texas, that means a race with an even PV may have a very Trump-friendly electoral college make-up.  We're talking hundreds of thousands of votes between those two states.  He's not claiming this is a certainty or even likelihood, but something to consider, and it is.

Also, this poll increased Trump's chance of winning on 538's PP model from 22.9 to 23.3%.  I guess it is because there was already no chance for Trump to win CA and it shows that Clinton will be wasting a ton of votes in CA.

And Now-Cast by 0.8% from 21.8% to 22.6%.

Latino vote is distributed in such way that it can be a fun election. CA+TX = ~40% of all hispanics.

If this does lead to an EV/PV split in favor of Trump, I expect calls for the next Dem trifecta to pass legislation to split CA and TX will reach a fever pitch.

Republicans did the same with the Nebraska and Dakota Territories back in the day, and for explicitly partisan reasons.
If anything, I expect Texas republican to consider making south Texas a separate state to make the rest of the state safe R for a few more cycles.

Yes, that would be the sweetener, but Democrats need to get San Francisco, L.A., and San Diego states out of the deal.

Also, the South Texas proposal is only viable if most of the new trouble is coming from the Rio Grande, Austin and San Antonio.  If it's massive Dem swings in Houston and Dallas, they will eventually get swamped anyway.  If Dems have any say in the process, a state of South Texas doesn't happen unless West Texas also does.
Yeah I was just speculating. I expect a lot more resistance to carving up their home state than you might think though, even if they have more influence that way.

I would love for California to seriously consider independence (hell, I'd even fight for independence if Trump wins) because our interests are totally underrepresented in Washington. Just think what we could do if we weren't sending a large percentage of our wealth to the federal government to subsidize small, economically weak states (that tend to hate us anyway)!
