You don’t hold an intimate speaking event in Madison Square Garden there Jim. I think the fact that they can make millions off of this speaks volumes.

maybe they should aim for something a little more intimate...


..as they gazed out at the more than 15,000 empty seats facing them last night in Toronto on their stadium speaking tour. Even though curtains were erected cutting the arena in half, the vacant seats far outnumbered the occupied ones. The U.K. Daily Mail reports that 3,300 tickets were sold in the Scotiabank Arena, which holds 19,800, 16.6% of capacity.

Perhaps even more humiliating, while ticket prices began at $53 (Canadian), the U.K. Daily Mail reported that "one ticket was going for $6.55 in the final minutes before the event."

Clinton-friendly CNN reports: And even Democrats loyal to the Clintons are questioning the decision to embark on the tour.

"I just think the optics of going to an event where people are paying to see them, and they are financially gaining from this, I am not sure that is the right way to reingratiate them back into the public sphere," said a former Clinton aide.

The very progressive Toronto Star's review of the performance headlined, "Hillary and Bill Clinton just won't go away."

I believe they only sold seats for a portion of the arena, the rest was blocked off intentionally. Most of the other venues look to be 2500-5000 seats.

"While the aging Clintons spent much of the night bashing President Trump, they did so in front of a nearly empty room that proves just how out of touch they have both become."

in a related story...

another deranged former democrat president..

"I know we're in oil country and we need American energy, and by the way, American energy production," Obama told the audience gathered at Rice University's Baker Institute on Tuesday night. "You wouldn't always know it but it went up every year I was president. That whole, suddenly America's like the biggest oil producer and the biggest gas – that was ME, people." ...

"Just say thank you please."

so they aren’t playing dinky arenas
because they are morally bankrupt has-beens. It’s because they want an intimate setting! If by ‘intimate’, you mean that Bill wants a good
look at all the boobies in the crowd, I agree.

You can spin with the best of them. Never a critical syllable, not now, not ever.

" I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money. "

-Barak Obama


Newsweek-.

"So when some Americans, including Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, saw former President Barack Obama accepting $400,000 speeches from Wall Street, signing book deals worth $65 million and vacationing with billionaires off the coast of Tahiti in a $300 million yacht, you can bet they were perplexed."

"He raked in $400,000–the equivalent to his annual presidential salary–for a 90-minute interview Thursday in midtown Manhattan, where he spoke with a presidential historian on things like income inequality.......But the Obamas are set to earn an unprecedented post-presidency income, "

Thanks for making my point. From Bloomberg

Deutsche Bank AG, the sprawling German financial giant, is in trouble again. And, to a certain extent, Deutsche's troubles are going to be President Donald Trump's troubles.


But you don’t have an issue with that why is that?

OUCH!

"What is the point? It’s not inspirational. It’s not for charity. They’re not raising awareness about a cause, like Al Gore with global warming. They’re only raising awareness about the Clintons.

Their pathological need to be relevant in America is belied by a Canadian arena, where stretches of empty seats bear witness to the passing of their relevance.

It’s a pity."
