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.

Good! They are mean and very difficult to deal with so I’m fine with that.

No, they wouldn’t. Their jobs pay too much for too little work for that. He would have to shut down entire departments and lay them all off before they would quit.

Hopefully it would be closer to 100% in the DOJ, EPA, Education, and HHS.

Wow. And he says he’ll make government more efficient? Who knew he would do this just by taking the oath of office?

One thing they do with cuts is eliminate new hires. All the ObamaBots gone. There are rare exceptions for those truly needed. But that’d be a good start.

The same story, different source, will probably headline something like, "Election of Trump Would Cripple Gov't". Thanks Rockitz.

I don’t think many would leave their plush jobs with so much in benefits.

Well that would help Trump reduce the size of government with signing a single bill.

Yeah, I am not for Trump in the primaries, but this is certainly in his favor.

Don’t anyone get excited.
I’m still waiting for Mr and Mrs Barbara Streisand to leave the country over the Bush/Gore election.
Liberals never follow through on anything that would actually benefit the country.
