I hope that this encourages her to keep talking, and going out in public where her stumbles and falls can be recorded for all to see.

Hillary Clinton won’t or can’t stop giving speeches, even though her price has fallen from well into six figures to less than Snooki received at the same campus. Sporting a cast on her arm from reportedly falling in her bathtub in India after stumbling down a staircase in public there, the twice-failed presidential candidate received $25,000 for addressing an audience at Rutgers University yesterday. NJ.com reports that this sum, that Nancy Pelosi would probably call “cumbs,” was just over 2/3 the sum paid by Rutgers to partake of the wisdom of Snooki:
Rutgers has a history of shelling out considerably more that $25,000 to notable speakers. Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison made $30,000 in 2011. Bill Moyers received $35,000 to speak in 2015. And — wait for it — Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was given $32,000 for a Rutgers appearance that offered the sage advice, “Study hard, but party harder.”
But at her bargain priced speech, there were plenty of takers:
…keep in mind that Hillary's speech had to be moved to a larger venue in response to initial demand, that the 6,500 available tickets were snapped up in 30 minutes, and that — at the time of the speech's start time — more than 3,000 people were on a waitlist hoping they might get in.
I hope that this encourages her to keep talking, and going out in public where her stumbles and falls can be recorded for all to see.

$24998 too much for this $2.00 whore.
Trump eats a Big Mac and they immediately call into question his health and demand to see his physical results.
Kick Rutgers out of the Big Ten !
She was just paid $25K by Rutgers - which paid Snookie from “Jersey Shore” $32K.
Clintons gonna Clinton, even if the quid pro quo component of their speaking fees no longer exists.
Going down!
How much did those people pay to attend to hear her garbage? Why on earth does she keep doing this? She certainly doesn’t need the money. I guess we’ll never see their tax returns again since the foundation(s) have supposedly been shut down. They (she and Bill) have no doubt filed papers under a different name to take in their speaking (HA!) fees! What do either of them have to offer anyone anymore? She is truly one mentally ill person and her family isn’t doing anything to help her....
So many in NJ so want to believe still in Mrs. Bill! Damn, the evidence!
Just goes to prove that during her state department days and afterward when she was the “front runner” Dem candidate nobody paying 300K for just a 40 minute Clinton speech. They were buying something else. Now that she can’t provide what they hoped she could her true value on the speaking circuit is revealed - a bit less than Snookie.
Nothing could expose the corruption of the Clintons and their “foundation” worse than this; the steep drop in “donations” after the election vindicated Trump for the “Crooked Hillary” smear. Whatever one felt about Trump personally in 2016, I suspect many people on both sides of the aisle felt he was “cleaner” than her - if for nothing more than the fact that he already had his own money.
Yeah, that’s a long way from U of Nebraska.
“Democratic” voters still believe in her. I don’t know if she could be the 2020 nominee or not if she ran.
She can speak in my living room for 25 cents.
LOL. It must be so humiliating for her. Here is a partial list of speakers who get paid $20,000 to $30,000 to speak:
Molly Ringwald
Olympia Dukakis
Mary Lou Retton
Shirley Jones
Yasmine Bleeth
Vanilla Ice
Tony Dorsett
Freddie Prinze Jr.
Jadakiss
Chaz Bono
Charles Grodin
Dick Butkus

CIRCA 2014--WASH/PO By Rosalind S. Helderman and Philip Rucker
Plans for UCLA visit give rare glimpse into Hillary Clinton’s paid speaking career.....she was paid $300,000 to speak to UCLA students and faculty in March. (UCLA) When officials at the University of California at Los Angeles began negotiating a $300,000 speech appearance by Hillary Rodham Clinton, the school had one request: Could we get a reduced rate for public universities? The answer from Clinton’s representatives: $300,000 is the “special university rate.”
That e-mail exchange and other internal communications, obtained this week by The Washington Post under a Freedom of Information Act request, provide a rare glimpse into the complex and meticulous backstage efforts to manage the likely 2016 presidential candidate’s lucrative speaking career.
At UCLA, efforts to book Clinton and then prepare for her visit were all-consuming, beginning almost immediately after she left her job as secretary of state on Feb. 1, 2013, until she delivered her Luskin Lecture for Thought Leadership speech on March 5, 2014.
The documents show that Clinton’s representatives at the Harry Walker Agency exerted considerable control over her appearance and managed even the smallest details — from requesting lemon wedges and water on stage to a computer, scanner, and a spread of hummus and crudité in the green room backstage.

Top university officials discussed at length the style and color of the executive armchairs Clinton and moderator Lynn Vavreck would sit in as they carried on a question-and-answer session, as well as the kind of pillows to be situated on each chair. Clinton’s representatives requested that the chairs be outfitted with two long, rectangular pillows — and that two cushions be kept backstage in case the chair was too deep and she needed additional back support.
After a lengthy call with a Clinton representative, UCLA administrator Patricia Lippert reported to campus colleagues, “She uses a lavalier [microphone] and will both speak from the audience and walk around stage, TED talk style. We need a teleprompter and 2-3 downstage scrolling monitors [for] her to read from.”
During a walk-through of Royce Hall five days before the lecture, the e-mails show, Clinton’s team rejected the podium planned for her use during her 20- to 30- minute speech, setting off a scramble on campus to find a suitable podium and rent a new university seal to match.
In the nearly two years since stepping down as secretary of state, Clinton has made dozens of paid appearances across the country at industry conventions and Wall Street banks as well as at universities. Her UCLA fee, like those at other universities, went to the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation, the family’s nonprofit group.
But critics have argued that the carefully staged events and high speaking fees could complicate Clinton’s ability to run a populist campaign built around the economic struggles of the middle class.
Versions of Clinton’s standard speaking contracts have surfaced publicly this year — including her luxury travel requirements — but the contracts do not contain the extensive detail seen in the UCLA communications.
It is unclear how personally involved Clinton was in the UCLA negotiations and whether the requests from her agency were being directed by her or merely from underlings anticipating her preferences. A Clinton spokesman declined to comment on the speaking arrangements.
It is commonplace for celebrity speakers to request special accommodations — and Clinton was no exception. Her representatives asked for a case of still water, room temperature, to be deposited stage right. They also asked that “a carafe of warm/hot water, coffee cup and saucer, pitcher of room temperature water, water glass, and lemon wedges” be situated both on a table on stage as well as in another room where Clinton would stand for photos with VIPs.
For the green room, Clinton’s representatives requested: “Coffee, tea, room temp sparkling and still water, diet ginger ale, crudité, hummus and sliced fruit.” They also asked for a computer, mouse and printer, as well as a scanner, which the university had to purchase for the occasion.
When university officials decided to award Clinton the UCLA Medal, Clinton’s team asked that it be presented to her in a box rather than draped around her neck. That request was sent to the university’s chancellor, Gene Block.
“Chancellor Block has agreed to accommodate Hillary Clinton’s request to have the medal presented in a box,” Assistant Provost Margaret Leal-Sotelo wrote in one e-mail.
Lippert replied: “I can either have the jewelers box open or closed, in case the Chancellor doesn’t want to risk opening it.” By contract, Clinton’s approval was needed for any promotional materials. Clinton gave permission for the university to record the event, but “for archival purposes only.”
For public distribution, Clinton’s speaking agency approved only a two-minute highlight video to upload to YouTube. “Please make sure it is available only for one (1) year from the date of posting,” a Harry Walker Agency official added.
Clinton posed for individual photos with 100 VIPS, or 50 couples — “We get a total of 50 clicks,” one university official explained — as well as two group photos. Lippert wrote to colleagues that Clinton’s representatives wanted the group shots “prestaged,” with participants assembled and ready to take the photographs before Clinton arrived “so the secretary isn’t waiting for these folks to get their act together.” Reiterating the request, Lippert added, “She doesn’t like to stand around waiting for people.”
Like many major universities, UCLA regularly pays high-profile speakers to visit campus. Many of the visits are funded through a private endowment and not with tuition or public dollars. Clinton’s appearance was privately funded as part of a lecture series endowed by Meyer Luskin, an investor and president of Scope Industries, a food waste recycling company.
She donated the fee to some charity, thus a tax write off.
Oh, eventually Hillary WILL shut up for good. I hope it’s on camera-or at least in public and recorded. Hey-maybe that’s why people are paying to see her talk- hoping she’ll fall over permanently at their event!
I would gladly pay not to see this crooked individual, trying to refrain what is on tip of my tongue.
