I forget if I brought this up in a post or just in a comment, but it’s something I’ve speculated about in the recent past:
“Some of the country’s best-known corporations are nervously grappling with what role they should play at the Republican National Convention, given the likely nomination of Donald J. Trump, whose divisive candidacy has alienated many women, African-Americans and Hispanics.”
“An array of activist groups is organizing a campaign to pressure the companies to refuse to sponsor the gathering, which many of the corporations have done for both the Republican and Democratic parties for decades. The pressure is emerging as some businesses and trade groups are already privately debating whether to scale back their participation.”
It’s not going to happen, but if Bernie Sanders won the nomination of the Democratic Party it would be interesting to see how he would handle the corporate sponsorship of the convention. Instead of corporations opting out, as may happen on the Republican side, maybe Sanders would ask his army of supporters to chip in so he could tear down all the corporate logos?
