Whew! I'm very glad that Golden Corral and Motel 6 are not on the list. It would have put a crimp on the dream vacation I'm planning.

Hey, on that subject I think you get a discount on that hotel via American Legion.

I can use this suggested boycott list as a group of companies I would like to support. Thanks, grab your wallet.

Well, if you want to know a company to target here is a good one. The PepsiCo CEO was a Hillary Supporter and pretty vocal. Pepsi runs on thin margins. It wouldn't take much of a reduction in revenue to start to hurt their profitability and get her attention. There are plenty of other products to buy. I had my wife stop buying their products. She loved Lays potato chips. I told her there are plenty of other good brands out there. I like Doritos but hey, I can give them up for something else.

People voting with their wallet is a perfectly legitimate thing to do. Companies might learn to stay out of the candidate endorsing business and focus on putting out quality products.

They really should though. Like, companies don't vote, the people do. If you're trying to make money, you probably shouldn't alienate half of the country..

SSG Jessica Bautista Bingo. Companies would be far better off remaining neutral. Pissing off 1/2 the population by taking a political stand is bad business and these CEO's should be smart enough to know it. Some are not, on both sides.
