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.

So they say. Where else are they going to find an easy job with those bennies and a fat pension? They’re staying put no matter who’s elected Prez, just like the Hollywood lib buffoons who threatened to leave the country when Reagan and then Dubya won their respective nominations. All talk, as always. Makes ‘em feel better to say it, though.

I disagree with your point of view. There are rabid white liberals all over Washington's NW and NoVa suburbs who work for big DC bucks and live in a bubble. They think working elsewhere is just like this -- lots of money for very little actual work. Frankly, I'd love to see some of them end up flipping burgers. Whereas many of the black government employees live in the District and have fresher memories within their families of not being able to get good jobs.
