The Rich Are Different

I don't find this surprising at all. The super-wealthy have always hedged their bets on politics and this is pocket change for Ms. Walton.
Guessing Alice is still contributing heavily to GOP super pacs, probably in far greater amounts via the various dark money vehicles spawned by Citizens United.

Her donating $25,000 is the equivalent of me shaving an atom off a penny, and donating it.

It a teensie-weensie investment.

The Walton's didn't become uber-rich sociopaths by being stupid sociopaths.

Wasn't Hillary on Walmart's board of directors? This is completely unsurprising.
