Grifters Gotta Grift

Donations to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation are down over 90% so it’s time for the Clintons to think of other ways to make money. What did they come up with? A tour. Yep. An Evening With The Clintons where dumb people pay big bucks to listen to BJ and Crooked Cankles ramble on about themselves and answer questions from the audience. I’ll be willing to bet that all the questions are screened. I’m sure they wouldn’t want to answer questions about BJ’s rape and sexual harassment history.

So how is the tour going down? Opening night sucked!

Apparently, the Clintons’ political life is set to end not with a bang, but a whimper. I wonder what kind of envy Bill and Hillary Clinton experienced over the jam-packed arenas – with thousands listening outside – that President Trump always has, 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.

And this was with the tickets discounted.

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

[…]

While 3,300 tickets sold at prices ranging from $53 to over $200 still yields a healthy payday, even after expenses, the optics are terrible. 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. “They haven’t gone away, and I don’t want them to go away, but I am not sure this is the right venue from an optics standpoint.”

But grifters gotta grift and that’s what the Clintons are. They want to keep Felonia von Pansuit in the public eye since she’s planning another run for president and this way they make money at the same time. Of course, they’re not making as much as they want to. I guess there weren’t enough dumb Canadians in Toronto. Maybe they had better luck in Montreal where they spoke on Wednesday. Can’t find any attendance figures for that event.
