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.

Imagine if he could reduce the federal workforce by 25% !! How great would that be? And if they voluntarily left, there would be no unemployment or other compensation liability to the govt. This is fabulous. Take another 10-15% with you, and things might improve in the USA.

Most gov’t employees are Dems. Theyre simply doing what they always do, trying to keep the gravy train of freebies going.

Maybe they realize that he might not be able to fire them, but he would be more than willing to single them out for screwing up.

Yep, I wasn’t planning on voting for him in the primary, but this news might just change my mind. Funny thing is, these gov’t employees probably think they are so important that people won’t vote for him if they threaten to leave, lol.

Yeah that lesbo appears sometimes on CNN, she said she will move to Canada if Trump gets elected. Gee, this along with Whoopi Goldberg leaving if Trump wins, I swear, Trump should just take these soundbites and make them campaign Ads
