15. Yes, it is hard to avoid all companies that are R.
And maybe it seemed "out of left field" that this DUer noted Home Depot contributes enormously to the R's. However, your statement that he isn't balancing the CEO's politics with the thousands of rank and file apron wearers who will vote D is erroneous. How do you know how they will vote? A minimum wage employee has absolutely no political clout compared to HD's CEO.

The reason people should know this is because they are one more corporation that is getting away with murder because they donate to Smirk. Do you recall the huge loophole in a bill on trade with China? That loophole was written by HDepot....allowing them to import ceiling fans and other Chinese products without trade tariffs! That undercuts American manufacturers and is blatant BRIBERY.

Why would you assume he encouraged republicans to get the word out and not encourage POOR ABUSED SCHOOLTEACHERS to get the word out NOT TO SHOP THERE?
