Time Warner has invested lots of money in Hilary Clinton. Hilary is a great product big business can buy right? If she loses, all of their money will got to waste. They give money to a candidate in the hopes of getting legislation that favours them, do they not? I'm sure they would love Hilary to fight for certain policies which will make them richer.

And how much money has TW given to the Republicans? Smart business says donate to both sides, and many, perhaps most, companies, do exactly that.

ETA: According to OpenSecrets.org, 62% of TW's PAC contributions went to Republicans.
