Obama and Clinton loyalists grapple with Trump recession
2017-01-08
If your schadenboner lasts more than 4 years...
The job market is about to get even more crowded for Washington Democrats, as thousands of Obama appointees join the hundreds of Clinton campaign staffers looking for employment.

There's rarely been less demand for their services.
Ahahahahahahahahahahaha *gasp* ahahahahahahahahha
The Trump tornado is tearing up post-election planning around the Beltway. It's not just that those 4,000 administration jobs are no longer available to Hillary for America alumni, or that failed Senate candidates like Russ Feingold and Katie McGinty won't be able to hire their staff on the Hill. There are also the lobbying firms, trade associations and corporate government affairs offices that are pitching senior Obama aides' resumes into the round file while scrambling to hire operatives with Republican connections.

It's insult to injury for a generation of young operatives who are still managing their shock and grief from Hillary Clinton's loss. And for those who want to fight to keep President Barack Obama's legacy from being erased, there aren't a lot of places ready to pay them to do it.

#10  Plenty of "shovel ready" construction jobs out there for them...although I doubt their soft little hands would last more than an hour.

#9  Tough to peddle influence when you don't have it.

#8  Many jobs are going to illegals or H1B1's and if they get a job, it will be with reduced wages due to the influx.

You baked the cake, eat it.

#5  It's just, like, nailing boards together and stuff.

Isn't there an app for that?

#4  Lucky for these folks, there's a shortage of construction workers in Texas and other primitive states. I mean, how hard can it be? Most of the men and women they'll be competing with didn't go to Harvard. It's just, like, nailing boards together and stuff.

#3  Beso, Lefties are like trying to plug in a British appliance in an American plug.

They can't even tell the difference by looking at them. All they know is that the electricity is supposed to spill out of the hole in the wall.

#2  Of course they'll never connect with what they're about to go through with the working men and women in industries they've shut down with regulations and 'interpretations'.

If you need a visual to 'connect,' I recommend taking the Amtrak from Manassas, VA to Atlanta. It's a slow trek which takes you through the backside of towns and villages filled with run down, empty factories and lost dreams. One trip is all that will be required, I assure you.

#1  Its one part of 'growing unemployment' I can live with. Of course they'll never connect with what they're about to go through with the working men and women in industries they've shut down with regulations and 'interpretations'.
