Clintons' speaking tour event in Toronto had 83% of the seats empty (Awww gee whiz alert)

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 UK Daily Mail reports 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 UK Daily Mail reported that "One ticket was going for $6.55 in the final minutes before the event."

PS. At least some of the gala event was worth a watch. From the article:

Before she could begin her usual spill about how Russia cost her the election, Clinton was completely overtaken by an uncontrollable cough.

As Clinton couldn’t shake the cough for several seconds, the moderator asked her husband, former President Bill Clinton, about climate change.

While the moderator was speaking with the former president, Hillary could not stop coughing and compose herself.

Video of the Pantsuit barking is included in the delightful article.

This entire thing is absurd. They have Bill sitting way far away. The chairs they're sitting in make Hillary look more stupid than usual (squatty body), and then there's the hacking cough.

At one point, I imagine Bill giving Hillary a disgusted look that she couldn't control that barking.

All in all, I laughed my way through this! LOL

I thought they canceled the tour due to lack of ticket sales. I have to wonder what kind of moron would pay to see them. That said if it was on my way home and free l might go in for a couple of minutes just to see two of the most manipulative grifters in history in person.

Ive always suspected this whole event is just a money laundering scam. Someone like Soros buys up all the tickets to hide the bribes.

I doubt they care. I am sure they got paid regardless of how many seats were filled.

I hope their promoter got an exit provision in the contract for public lack of interest.

At last a wide-angle pic of a Democrat "rally." Look at those adoring crowds (smirk).

15,000 empty seats faced the Clintons; curtains cut the arena in half to diminish the emptiness.
3,300 tickets were sold for a venue that holds 19,800 (16.6% of capacity). AND GET THIS:
$53 (Canadian) was the going rate, but "one ticket was hawked at $6.55 in the final minutes before the event."

>>>3,300 tickets were sold <<<

“Sold” does not mean attended.

Those are probably people who were given free tickets. Totally phony.

P.S. Seats were $6

“good heavens that woman is so ill, mentally physically morally in collapse.....”

Yet, she’s still trying to run for the Presidency, and she’ll suck up a good deal of money from ageing female academics and similar types. However, the spirit of Satan will be willing but the flesh will fail.

Gotta the caption's spin attempt: 'dozens of empty seats'

More like dozens of attendees and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of empty seats.
