Before the 94 takeover of congress, Wal Mart gave most of its political donations to Democrats, and remeber, Hillary herself was on the Wal Mart board. Even now, Wal Mart gives a fairly big portion of its political donations to Democrats.
I hadn't watched their past record. I only became aware of the way Walmart was treated differently from similar big discounters over the past few years. They all import from China, and malls have been displacing inner city shops for decades, but somehow only Walmart is blamed.
Which is unfortunate, because if Walmart is pragmatic, they may start giving to the people who can make the most trouble for them. Another reason for the Republicans to start playing hardball.
