... rather than be "forced" to do it through boycotts. It was really incredible to see Frazier, Merck and the others jump ship without being told or prodded -- and that's gotta hurt.

I know these CEO's are dropping out based on the ramifications of Trump's blundering response to the violence and killing, but what's the connection between THAT and what they're trying to do with job growth, etc. How/why would Trump's racist tendencies "stick" to the business council members? I feel like there was something I missed...
