Abbot and the state reps would never fallow through. Any talk about secession by state leaders is just red meat to try and pacify the base. None of them want to risk the chance of gaining federal office later.

Texas secession is a pipe dream. It'll only happen the same way the swamp in DC would ever be drained and that's with force of arms.
