so, let's talk about #grabyourwallet.

There are gradations of perceived offense in the #GrabYourWallet database. Selling Trump materiel, as Sear’s and Amazon do, earns a call for outright boycott. Those brands with executives who have offered financial contributions or rhetorical support of Trump’s candidacy or businesses—such as Bean or Brian France of NASCAR—fall into a slightly more forgiving “consider boycotting” section. “I am more conservative about adding companies to the list based on the political activities of their leaders versus a company having a direct business relationship with the Trump family and profiting directly from selling Trump products,” explains Coulter.

which is worse? selling trump-branded merchandise or having a board memeber/exec who contributes to trump? I think the latter. am I crazy?
