Have liberals had enough with being lied to?
Bill and Hillary Clinton have been forced to resort to selling half price tickets for their 13-city tour on Groupon in a desperate bid to put bums on seats.
The former president and first lady launched their tour in a Canadian hockey arena last Tuesday to an underwhelming crowd and swaths of empty seats.
Ticket prices were plummeting shortly before the event, with the cheapest seats selling on Stubhub for single-digits – $6.55 Canadian Dollars, or less than $5.
Now the couple are taking drastic action to avoid another embarrassment on the next stop on their An Evening With the Clintons tour. They have slashed tickets by up to 60 per cent, and even offered them on Groupon, to try and entice more fans to come and listen to them speak…
A Groupon deal for the Clinton’s talk is for the liberal stronghold of Los Angeles where one would imagine the political power couple should be able to pull in the numbers.
New York Times columnist wrote in an op-ed that it was ‘curtains for the Clintons’: ‘I’m still looking at large swaths of empty seats — and I cringe at the thought that the Clintons will look out and see that, too. It was only four years ago, after all, that Canadians were clamoring to buy tickets to see the woman who seemed headed for history,’ Dowd wrote.
WHAT? In a hallowed Hockey shrine? BLASPHEMERS!
Never count the Clintons out–until they’re out.
Re Canada; Justin Trudeau became PM in Nov. 2015, so he was still fresh during Hillary 2016 campaign. 2 years later, Canada is not so enamored of him. I think that has also affected their appreciation, or lack thereof, for the Clintons.
