A Trumpian Exodus?

COTTonLINE is careful not to endorse any candidate for nomination; any of the front-runners would be a quantum improvement over the incumbent or Hillary. That said, a publication called Government Executive has published a study which suggests an apparently powerful motive to elect Donald Trump.

One in four federal workers would consider leaving their jobs if Trump were elected president, according to a new survey conducted by the Government Business Council, Government Executive Media Group’s research arm. About 14 percent of respondents said they would definitely consider leaving federal service under President Trump, while an additional 11 percent said they might. The findings indicate those leaving government would come from agencies' top ranks, as a majority of respondents were in General Schedule positions GS-13 and higher.

Producing an exodus of this proportion - if it ever happened - might be reason enough to tolerate the less attractive aspects of a Trump presidency.  Sadly, it's just talk; they'll never leave but will do their level best to sabotage his initiatives.
