The heirs of late Walmart founder Sam Walton are backing Hillary Clinton for president.
Collectively, the leading members of Arkansas' Walton family have given about $714,000 to the candidate and the Democratic Party during the current election cycle, federal records show.
The donations are an example of the longstanding ties between the Walton and Clinton families. It is an awkward situation for the candidate, a former Walmart board member, since most of her allies in organized labor and the broader liberal movement detest the Waltons, mainly because of the company's anti-union stance.

Of course they are. All they sell is cheap Chinese crap. Trump would make them less profitable.

Walmart is very afraid of a Trump presidency because Trump will CUT/cleanup much of the food stamp programs.

I’m guessing a very large part of their revenue comes from welfare people.
