Several major companies that sponsored the 2012 Republican National Convention will not be sponsoring the event this year in Cleveland, where Donald Trump is expected to be officially nominated as the party’s presidential nominee.

Wells Fargo, UPS, Motorola, JPMorgan Chase, Ford and Walgreens all told Bloomberg they won’t sponsor this year’s convention, despite helping to fund the last GOP summit in 2012. None of the companies commented on whether their decision to pull out was because of the GOP’s divisive presumptive nominee.

Trump routinely lashes out at Ford in his stump speech, blasting the company for moving a factory from the U.S. to Mexico. The car company said it would not support either party’s convention

Whoa....never trust the enemedia!

I heard a talking head on TV today say that this is old news. The companies pulled out some time ago...and it's for reasons other than Trump.

I'm just posting what I heard, and if someone can verify the dates and from-the-horse's mouths' the reasons for pulling sponsorship, please post.

Sounds like group-spin from the media.

Liberals should love this. Isn’t “Big Business” the “Enemy”?

Now that Big Business and Government are one big happy Fascist Family, liberals loves them some big business.

P.S. to my above post....read the linked article closely, parse the sentences....the clues are there that the enemedia is distorting, lying and spinning in their attempts to link Mr. Trump to the corporations' pulling their sponsorship of the GOP convention.

“Get off Facistbook for one”

Right now. And for those still on it:

Listen up, Blanche: if anything says “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers,” it’s a Facebook account.

“Fewer cronies and less corruption. As Trump said, the gravy train will soon be ending for many.”

God save our candidate.

Donald should move the entire event to one of his resorts. Hell with Cleveland and the GOP.

They aren’t going to spend their money because they are not going to be able to buy access with Trump. We should have a comprehensive list of them and our task should be to not do business with them.

And CVS is at least partly owned by Soros. Pick your poison or find another source. Our family moved their very few prescriptions to Kroger and buy a few over-the-counter drugs we use there, as well as all our groceries. Get points we use for gas discounts and they have no objection to people carrying.

Wells Fargo, UPS, Motorola, JPMorgan Chase, Ford and Walgreens will be committing Macycide.

No problem. There are good alternatives to $pend our hard earned bucks at!

These companies can look at Target to see what happens when CEO’s get in bed with the liberals and the open borders thugs.

Also I think a winning Trump strategy would be to say, “If you loved W, you’ll LOVE Hillary.”
