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.

THe one that is going to be hard to clear out is the State Dept. The Just-Us Dept and then the Dept of the Interior. EPA should be closed, education - closed, then HUD, followed by BATF.

The next president should fire the entire staff and rehire new. The Just-us Dept should be next, and

This IS the second best reason to support Donald Trump for President. The first is he'll make America great again.

100 million, I don’t even need that much. I don’t see him giving away his money, bit like Gore living in a mansion and flying in private jets while preaching global warming and save the earth.

No celebrity would dare get rid of their wealth..its the rest of us they want to bleed dry. Tell Will Smith who cries about not getting an Oscar Nomination(Ive seen pics of his mansion its freakin HUGE) to give up 90 percent of his wealth then see the reaction on his face. If I were President I would make it law that every celebrity that voted for Sanders(especially since he wants to implement that 90 percent tax) has to fork over 90 percent of their wealth, let’s see how fast they become Republicans next election

I saw this thread and clicked on it to comment “It’s a good start.” all the while knowing that probably 25% of the FReepers before me would have said the same thing.

I like it.

If 25% quit, 25% get fired for incompetence and 25% are sent to prison, we will be on our way to a change I can believe in.
