Bill
And Hillary Tour Underwhelms In Ticket Sales, Attendance
https://hotair.com/archives/2018/12/01/bill-hillary-tour-underwhelms-ticket-sales-attendance/
Bill and Hillary Clinton have taken their show on the road.
Ticket sales for “An Evening with the Clintons” are not what they once might
have been, according to all reports. With stops deliberately booked in
what are assumed to be Clinton-friendly cities, the aging power couple seems to
be having trouble filling seats.
It’s not exactly a whirlwind
tour. The schedule is downright lethargic in the beginning. The first stop on
November 27 was in Toronto, Canada with a stop the next night in Montreal. The
next stop on the schedule is
Houston on December 4. In light of the passing of former President George H.W.
Bush, that date may be canceled or changed. But, that’s all there is to the
tour until 2019. They start back up in April 2019 in New York City and continue
through May, ending in Las Vegas on May 5. Does anyone else think it’s odd
that a former U.S. president and a former Secretary of State began a
self-promoting tour in Canada? Maybe it’s just me.
The venue in Toronto only sold 3,300 tickets. Whole sections of
the arena were empty. I checked the website for ticket prices and for the
Houston stop, the cheap seats go for $15.00 and the most expensive ticket price
I could find was $1146.00. That’s a real bargain, especially compared to
the book tour events (it’s not just a book tour, they are events) scheduled for
former First Lady Michelle Obama. The high-end prices for the Michelle tour go
for $10,000. That is what I found and it’s not a stop in Houston but in Dallas
at the American Airlines Center. The Clinton venue in Houston is smaller.
Anyway, you won’t be surprised to read that a good bit of the
Clinton question and answer conversation centers around her bitterness toward
President Trump. He lives rent-free in her head.
And the former secretary of state was prepared to mock
Trump’s interview with the Washington Post just hours after it
published, shaking her head at Trump telling the paper “my gut tells me more
sometimes than anybody else’s brain can ever tell me.”
You “literally you can’t make
this stuff up,” she said. “A dozen times a day your head is spinning.”< And
near the end of the event, Hillary Clinton returned to Trump's gut, criticizing
him for saying he does not "believe" a recently released dire
government report on climate change. "It just riles me up," she said.
"If you won't listen to people who actually spend time over decades
studying problems, my goodness, your gut is not the answer to everything that
is important in the world, I'm sorry."
The tour comes at a time when speculation is strong on whether
or not Hillary will actually make another attempt at a presidential run. She
joked about standing for Parliament in Canada when asked about any plans to run
but you know she’s thinking about. I don’t think she ever stops thinking about
it. She’s consumed with anger that Donald Trump won. While the next generation
of Democrats is ready to move up, the Clintons (especially Hillary) refuse to
leave the stage. It’s no wonder ticket sales are slow. Why would anyone pay
money to listen to them when almost any day an interview or quote is available
in print or on television? It’s not like either of them are saying anything
new.
Also, there’s the re-emergence of Monica Lewinsky. She’s been
telling her story after all these years. Don’t expect either Clinton to be
asked about that whole scandal, though. It’s not
happening. The former horndog-in-chief still gets a pass on the
difficult questions.
But the kickoff comes at a
tenuous time for the Clintons: Not only is their standing in the Democratic
Party in question after neither was particularly prolific during the midterms,
but the event comes amid a renewed focus on Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica
Lewinsky, a moment in history that has gained more attention recently because of
a multi-part series on the affair on A&E and other retrospectives. The
Lewinsky affair and other allegations against of sexual impropriety Bill
Clinton are also being re-examined in the light of the #MeToo era.
One topic that Hillary is quick
to criticize President Trump on is his relationship with Saudia Arabia. It’s
ironic given the Clinton Foundation’s refusal to state that they will no longer
accept financial
donations from The Kingdom as others have.
“We have a president who is part of the cover-up as to what
happened in that consulate or embassy when Mr. Khashoggi was murdered,” Clinton
said. “And we have a president and those closest to him who have their own
personal commercial interests.”
But the Clinton Foundation, to
which donations declined dramatically after Clinton’s 2016 defeat, has taken
multi-million dollar contributions from Saudi Arabia in the past and isn’t
ruling out continuing to accept them.
The
Clinton Foundation accepted between
$10 and $25 million from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with donations coming as
late as 2014. A now-defunct group named “Friends of Saudi Arabia,” which was
reportedly co-founded by a Saudi Prince and often worked as a PR front for the
kingdom, also donated between $1 and $5 million.
Implying corruption about the sitting president in business
dealings is probably not the best idea. She and her husband have a legacy
of corruption. She
should just sit that conversation out.
THE GRIFTERS: HILLARY, BILLARY
and CHELSEA… global looters!
BILL CLINTON SUCKS IN
BRIBES FROM ISIS DONORS!
"Even though it has gone virtually
unreported by corporate media, Breitbart News has extensively documented the
Clintons’ longstanding support for “open borders.” Interestingly, as
he Los Angeles Times observed in 2007, the Clinton’s praise
for globalization and open borders frequently comes when they
are speaking before a wealthy foreign audiences and donors."

Hillary Clinton is simply the epitome
of the rabid self – a whirlpool of selfishness, greed, and malignance.
It may well be true that Donald Trump has made his greatest
contribution to the nation before even taking office: the political destruction of Hillary Clinton and her
infinitely corrupt machine. J.R. Dunn
"Hillary will do
anything to distract you from her reckless record and the damage to the
Democratic Party and the America she and The Obama's have created."
THE FINAL DAYS OF HILLARY CLINTON: MISTRESS of the SWAMP,
GLOBAL BRIBES SUCKER and LOOTER OF THE POOR
“If the Constitution did not forbid cruel
and unusual punishment, the sentence I would like to see imposed would place
both Bill and Hillary Clinton in the same 8-by-12
cell.” ROBERT ARVAY – AMERICAN THINKER com
"But
there is no doubt in my mind that the Clintons, thoroughly practiced
grifters
that they are, as well as their increasingly shady daughter, will not
hesitate
to use such classified information as they may be able to access for
personal
and political enrichment. They've been doing it for decades,
and
they're
not about to stop now." RUSS VAUGHN
THE GRIFTERS:
HILLARY CLINTON AND HER
SERIAL RAPIST HUSBAND
“The couple parlayed lives supposedly spent in “public
service”
into admission into the upper stratosphere of American wealth, with incomes in the top 0.1 percent bracket. The source of this vast wealth was a political
machine that might well be dubbed “Clinton, Inc.” This consists essentially of
a seedy money-laundering operation to ensure big business support for the
Clintons’ political ambitions as well as their personal fortunes.

The basic components
of the operation are lavishly paid speeches to Wall Street and Fortune 500
audiences, corporate campaign contributions, and donations to the ostensibly
philanthropic Clinton Foundation.”
"But what the
Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at the expense of the
American people. And they feel thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power, use it
to enrich themselves and their friends. They are amoral, immoral, and venal.
Hillary has no core beliefs beyond power and money. That should be clear to
every person on the planet by now." ---- Patricia McCarthy -

The Muslim
Sheikhdom Qatar is a major sponsor of ISIS and global anti-American
terrorism. How disturbing is it that Bill Clinton sucked in a bribe of ONE
MILLION DOLLARS under the guise of a birthday gift? There is NO one the
Clintons will not sell us out to and have already!

Clinton Cash investigates
how Bill and Hillary Clinton went from being “dead broke” after leaving the
White House to amassing a net worth of over $150 million, with $2 billion in
donations to their foundation, wealth accumulated during Mrs. Clinton’s tenure
as Sec. of State through lucrative speaking fees and contracts paid for by
foreign companies and Clinton Foundation donors.
