> Is it really surprising that a multinational company would have a preferred candidate? Not really. Google lobbies the government more than Verizon, Wall St. banks and defense contractors. We don't usually mind cause they lobby for the things we care about as well. However we could also see how perhaps Eric Schmidt, ex-CEO and at that time Executive Chairman, walking about at a Hillary Clinton's event with a staff badge might make things a bit too obvious: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CxbUJoZWEAAzp04.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CxbUJoZWEAAzp04.jpg But perhaps Google isn't partisan enough? I think it is the superficial "we are not biased and all opinions are welcome" type message clashing with their existing bias, that's bothering people. I think they should be bolder even and say, we are biased, we support these values.
