I'm not from Cali, but I've read about the whole issue and here's what I feel.
1. They (the Calexit people) will let the U.S keep existing government infrastructure (military bases, etc.), but want them to pay for it. I don't know how they plan to enforce this.
2. As far as I'm aware congress decides in the end, and I don't think that it will pass even if the democrats take control in a couple years. California is a huge part of the U.S. economy and I'm not sure what leaving would / could do.
It could be my bias against it, but after reading the Yes California Bluebook, they seem to be a bunch of hipsters on the train of blaming the worlds issues on the U.S.

Considering nothing else, there is a fairly good electoral argument for the Republicans to allow it to happen. Removing 55 electoral votes and 2 Senators would be a significant blow for the DNC. There are a lot of serious arguments not to let it happen, but if it really got to a vote in the Senate, party lines would probably not be the big issue.
