Survey: 35% of federal workers may consider leaving their jobs if Trump wins
Hot Air ^ | October 25,2015 | JAZZ SHAW

Of course, for many conservatives hearing these survey results, their first response is likely along the lines of, “Good riddance. Can we start with the workers at the VA?” That’s not just anecdotal either. A different survey previously highlighted in the same outlet showed that a significant majority of Trump voters aren’t exactly wild about federal workers to begin with.

Donald Trump supporters do not like federal employees very much, though the feeling does not appear to be mutual.

Trump supporters are nearly united in their frustration with federal government policies, according to a new survey from Rasmussen Reports, with 96 percent saying they are “angry” at them. Just 36 percent of Hillary Clinton supporters said the same.

About six in 10 backers of the Republican nominee say the federal government rarely or never does the right thing. Nine in 10 disagree that federal government is a “protector of individual liberty.”

So if anyone is looking to use this survey as a reason to scare Trump voters away from the polls it’s likely to backfire. Most of those federal workers aren’t going anywhere, and if they did there wouldn’t be too many tears shed over it in conservative circles.

For a large % of those "35%" ... they won't have any "consideration" to make...they'll be forced out!

(a) Once the swamp is drained, swamp creatures need to find a new habitat! And that includes all the staffers of those voted out of office up & down the ballots around the country!
(b) Once DC's tentacles are "unclamped" upon businesses, etc., we don't need as many bureaucrats to be engaging in overreach...So, the refrain will be, "You're fired!"

“Good start, probably need to get rid of 75%, but this will help if they leave voluntarily.”

They are really just like the illegal aliens. For once, the “unemployed” would be deservedly so!

90% of federal workers should be on their way to prison if Trump wins.

yeah right. as if they do real work anyway. those are cushy jobs that you dont even need to show up for a good part of the time, and the rest of the time theyre paid double or triple time or at least way more than theyre worth.

They may not have any choice. As long as they leave, however it happens.

I prefer 60%.

Then add 200,000 more military.

Funny, I was thinking I’d do the same thing if Hillary wins.

“........ 35% of federal workers may consider leaving their jobs if Trump wins”.....

That will be a good start to rid ourselves of affirmative action employees, then on to the non-essential losers.

Consider leaving” Try being RIFed by President Trump. We would be ahead of the game immediately if they were out of their jobs and being paid welfare (at a rate substantially below what they were being paid by the taxpayers).
