Politico ^ | 1 February 2016 | Nick Gass

About 1-in-4 federal employees would consider leaving their jobs if Donald Trump is elected president, according the results of a recent survey conducted by the Government Business Council.

Overall, about 2-in-3, or 67 percent said they would not think about leaving the federal government if Trump becomes president, but 14 percent said they would and 11 percent said they would "maybe" leave. Just 8 percent said they did not know. The share of Democrats who said they would leave is higher, with 42 percent indicating that they would exit or could exit.

Among all of those surveyed, 59 percent said they would be embarrassed to have Trump as president, compared to 49 percent who said the same for Hillary Clinton, 45 percent who would be embarrassed with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, 37 percent with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and just 20 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

Of those surveyed, 42 percent identified as Republicans, 31 percent as Democrats, while 8 percent said they did not know and 19 percent declined to state.

Have you ever wondered if they see their hypocrisy? I have and can only come to the conclusion that they don’t , due to them having such massive ego’s and being narcissists

Its not hypocrisy on their part..they just really really believe they are better than the rest of us. They all laugh at us, they think of us as “the little people” and they are the ones that truly matter

Good point.

There was a program called trading spouses a few years back. It is where say a rich CA woman has to go and live in the backwoods of LA or MS for a couple of weeks and vica versa.

If they had that program for these leitist snobs then they would not last a day in our shoes.

Just once is enough, thanks. And don't hold down the "POST" button, or mash it again if you don't get an instantaneous response. This isn't a first-person shooter game.

Very hard to believe that 42 percent of these people identify as Republicans. I can, however, believe that 8 percent did not know their affiliation and think that number was much higher.

Maybe with a Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump ticket, we could get 50% to quit - AWESOME!

"Maybe he could offer them incentive to quit now?"

You know, no joke, the House could definitely create a bill to take advantage of this - a small quit package, a moratorium/freeze on replacement, include it in the next omnibus bill...

lol... 25% would quit?

That will save Trump half the time of firing 50%... or 75%.

And he’ll tell another 25% You’re Fired, and everything will be great. Sure.
