#6 Only 1 percent of Clinton voters said the most appealing aspect of her candidacy is her "personality."

I think I just figured out an easy way to screen for sociopathy.

#7 Can you send him down under when he's available

#8 Ditto, it would be a good start. Nothing like that number to say we have far too many employees now.

#11 about 15% of the federal workforce is retirement eligible and are just working to increase benefits -- they consider retiring every day

another 10% are generally ticked off and consider quitting every day or are political appointees and would be kicked out if Trump were elected

that leaves about 2% whose views are Trump specific

#12 I call BS.

First of all, I've seen other better-conducted polls indicating that 95% of the federal "work" force will be voting for Clinton.

Second, these people are in federal employment because federal employment provides anxiety-free income at an easy job that can never be taken away short of committing a felony (actually, Lois Lerner DID commit several and she got to retire with a six-figure salary) and, nearly to a person, they have no skills that would allow them to make as much money in the private sector.

We're talking about people who would let the police power of the state kill their neighbor's children if they thought doing so would perpetuate their rice bowl.

Such as these NEVER quit.

#14 Doubt it. Their jobs are too cushy and they can't cut it in the private sector.

#15 Strange isn't it how the one part of the Executive they both have no problem 'downsizing' are the grunts et al over at DoD, even though national defense was one of the fundamental justifications for the ratification of the Constitution.

#17 And surveys also say 27% of government workers are petulant liars.

#18 And surveys also say 27% of government workers are petulant liars.

Since the majority of government workers are Democrats I'd put the percentage considerably higher than 27%.

#19 Won't happen - hack jobs are for hack people, who are damn near unemployable in the Dreaded Private Sector.

#20 They won't quick when they can subtly sabotage the Trump admin (and be heroes if caught).

#21 Many have been retired on the job for years. Fortunately.

#22 They think this would deter people from voting for Trump? They should be fired for being that stupid! Quit now and beat the rush, fools. We don't need you if this is all the integrity and devotion to the nation that you can muster.
