It the upper Midwest didn't have the Dakotas blocking a linkage between the coasts, then a single horseshoe-shaped nation might happen. A bifurcated one? Not so much.

It's an interesting scenario ... I suspect that most of my country (Canada) would be willing to consider such an arrangement ... the notable exception being Alberta.
A link from California, through BC and the NW Territories Makes the horseshoe a lot bigger, that's for sure.
Yes, it will be quite an interesting nation! And I think Alberta has shown it can elect progressive leaders and probably will be willing to shut down its dirty tar-sands oil as the rest of blue nation wants.
ummm, no, I'm afraid not ... while they are trying / starting to diversify their economy their future is still very much tied to oil and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
The oil industry is going to dry up very fast once progressives are in charge. Alberta elected a liberal leader recently; they can do it again.
