Georgetown Blames Low Turnout At Hillary Clinton Speech On Final Exams

The advance team does not have to be competent. Americans are swirling to HRC in a non-stop fashion. It’s all they know.

[GreenHornet]

What a lame excuse. If Georgetown officials felt this would be a legitimate conflict, they would have scheduled her speech for another date.

Regardless of what you think about her, Hillary was once a legitimate star (at least among liberals.) A few years ago, a speech by Hillary at a place like Georgetown would have been standing room only. She's rapidly becoming the political equivalent of an oldies act.

Bill’s coattails; now that’s just what the American people demand for 2016.

I was in an International School for expats overseas. We had a school newspaper and instruction in French language in the 3rd and 4th grade...

I thought FINAL exams were in June prior graduation? Or is that FINAL FINAL exams?

Actually there's usually 3 sets of finals exams a year. You don't have a final-final exams before you graduate, you have final exams at the end of every class, which is once per semester. Once you pass a class, you don;t take it again. So, you have:

1. Fall final exams in early Dec.
2. Spring final exams in May.
3. Summer final exams in July/August.

Well, you knooooooooowww, she doesn’t really have much to say or have any insight on anything at all.

Would much rather watch some old Bugs Bunny cartoons.

The new car smell has been replaced by the lovely aroma of the Amorphophallus Titanum.

Many seats were not taken. Define many:

Again, how many young and smart college students want to waste their time with an old/ugly over the hill alcoholic rat like Hill the Liar.

The answer, apparently not that many!

[morphing libertarian]

If they pay these speakers a % of the gate, the problem will solve itself.

[Ted Grant]

Why book her during final exams?

[Sacajaweau]

Women are no longer an issue.....anyplace....despite the current case in the USSC. There is simply too much bias on the part of the female judges. Disgusting...

[gnickgnack2]

At least they didn’t cover the cross behind her.

[Sacajaweau]

The media probably occupied the majority of the seats that were taken......looking for a story on a potential candidate....

The more you see, the more you can tell....she' ain't running...The vote simply isn't there.

[Sacajaweau]

No....it's the week before exams. Now anyone who's been there would look at it as a break from studying IF THEY WERE A LOYAL CLINTON FAN

Sandra the Fluke's alma mater besides....heh heh heh...

[Rum Tum Tugger]

Georgetown’s right. My oldest daughter graduated from Georgetown last May. At this time of year, the students barely have time to eat. It has nothing to do with Hillary.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Was Hil paid her usual $250,000 speaking fee?

[rhoda_penmark]

“Seems that Hillary’s advance team is as incompetent as she has been all these years.”

Why so? She got paid in full.

[elcid1970]

And yet, The Flying Buttress is building her campaign chest one $300,000 check at a time. That’s not a speaking fee, that’s a “you’re our last best hope to build a better world!” endorsement.

I mean, will Fauxcahontas Warren or Comrade Bernie Sanders do any better in 2016?

Too bad, for a second there I was hoping it was because Hillary is a big partial birth abortion fan. Oh well, should have know better; after all it’s not like Georgetown is a Catholic school.
