I've been to (off the top of my head) many in the Southland, the Bay Area, the Central Valley, Las Vegas, one in Utah, and some in North Texas. The closest one to me is the one in Austin, which is about 155 miles from my house. I haven't been to that one yet. I wish we had one here in the Houston metro . But if they only opened one here....I can just imagine the crowds .

And that works perfectly. Liberals have just as much right to boycott them as Republicans have favoring them.

It's my understanding that they won't go nationwide and Texas is as far east as they will expand but who knows, Texas is a huge state. Being able to keep a handle on quality control was the issue with expanding further.

Not very many people are so politically inclined as to not eat at one of their favorite places, just because they made a donation to a political party. It's really pretty silly but we're all free to do what we believe is best.

She doesn’t to many media appearances but I don’t blame her either .
Probably figured wants the point . Not like it’s some new company and she owns the whole thing .
Yeah, the company has great success with the family over the years keeping a relatively low profile. Although she has given a few more interviews in recent years. I already knew almost all of the publicly known 'highlights' re her profile (including her marriages), but I was just looking at her Wikipedia page, and I did learned something new. I didn't know until now that she has survived two kidnapping attempts.

Meh. I've been "boycotting" In-n-Out for many years because I think it's overrated. Just an average hamburger, not worth standing in long lines for. Shrug.

Please liberals .. resist and don’t support those evil Republicans that run in n out and pay good wages to their employees and deliver the freshest product and best customer service in the industry at an affordable price ..

Do you guys realize how ridiculous and petty this stuff makes you look ?

Another day another liberal boycott ..

Many may argue that In-N-Out Burger has the most loyal customers. However, many of them are reportedly boycotting the burger chain after it donated $25,000 to the California Republican Party.
According to a public filing on the California Secretary of State’s website, In-N-Out made the multi-thousand dollar donation Monday.

One Twitter user tweeted, "This really bums me out because I’m a regular customer... BUT I cannot spent money with a company that supports the current GOP! #BoycottInNOut."

Really? There's one not too far from me. I haven't had an In N Out burger for a long time. Maybe I'll pay them a visit and tell them how wonderful they are as I order a meal. I wonder if they have stickers, I want to put one on my car to pi$$ off all the liberals in this state.

Boycotts are stupid. If the product is good and I am not harassed by the company then I will buy their products. I surely miss In N Out. Just bought a Yeti cooler. Love it and it's pink.

It's not silly at all. If one feels that a single party with complete and total control of all aspects of American government is destroying the country and allowing one man to do anything he wants with zero restraint, and that giving money to In-N-Out will result in that money going directly in the pockets of the offending party, boycotting makes complete sense.

Reality is it’s the Democratic Party responsible for the problems in California , not the Republican Party . The Democratic Party is in charge here .
The donation was to the California Republican Party not to Trump or the national GOP .
