It seems odd to me that Maker's Mark offered to let Hillary use their distillery as a platform for a campaign event. I used to like Maker's Mark Whiskey, too.
By providing a backdrop for Hillary, they are in effect giving her a campaign event worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, for free, without reporting it as a campaign contribution.
It seems like a dumb move from a company that sells products to the general public. Aligning your company with a candidate that is popular with less than half of Democrats (that's half of half, or less than a quarter of the population).
Or is Maker's Mark trying to get to that all-important uneducated impoverished white demographic? Seems like a dumb move for a premium bourbon brand. Or maybe they are going downscale.
We had a "Hillary Please Drop Out" party and everyone brought their bottles of Maker's Mark to the party and we all ceremoniously poured it down the drain. Everopne got a free bottle of Knob Creek to take home.
The corproations who allow candiadates to use their facilities as a campaign backdrop are supporting that candidate.
If you support a coprporation that supports Hillary, then you are supporting Hillary.
BOYCOTT MAKER'S MARK.
FWIW. I've had enough of Corproate America trying to schmooze me.
