Former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton announced a nationwide speaking tour on Monday. Each event, headlined An Evening with the Clintons, is promoted as a chance to hear from the former first couple.
The description reads:
Experience a one-of-a-kind conversation with two individuals who have helped shape our world and had a front seat to some of the most important moments in modern history. From the American presidency to the halls of the Senate and State Department to one of the United States most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections, they provide a unique perspective on the past, and remarkable insight into where we go from here.
Pre-sale tickets are listed for as much as $228.44 for an appearance with the Clintons as they travel to over a dozen places like Las Vegas, Toronto, New York City, Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC.
The tour begins November 18, after the Congressional mid-term elections.
Prior to the tour, Hillary Clinton will host three private fundraisers for Democrats in the midterm elections in San Francisco, Chicago, and New York.
Bill Clinton has been quiet in the midterms. The New York Times reported that the former president appears far less welcome on the trail, as there is a new skepticism on the left about his treatment of women and allegations of sexual assault.

A similar thought occurred to me... perhaps they actually can seen that distant light in the tunnel they're in getting larger and larger and are thinking that they don't have a big enough war chest readied for what is coming at them.

Hillary Clinton requires ‘presidential suite,’ stenographer for speaking engagements, report says
Hillary Clinton has a taste for luxury to match any world leader. The Las Vegas Review-Journal obtained Clinton’s contract and related documents related to a scheduled October 13 speech at a University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Foundation fundraiser. The documents show that Clinton received $225,000 to speak at the fundraiser, a discount from her initial $300,000 asking price. But the fee was only the first of Clinton’s many stipulations.
The former Secretary of State insists on staying in the presidential suite of a luxury hotel of her staff’s choice, with up to five other rooms reserved for her travel aides and advance staff. Clinton also reportedly requires that the Foundation provide a private plane. However, the jet can not be any private plane; only a $39 million, 16-passenger Gulfstream G450 “or larger” will do the job.
It is agreed that Speaker will be the only person on the stage during her remarks, reads the contract for the event, which also requires that Clinton have final approval of all moderators or introducers.
Also, according to her standard speaking contract, Clinton has to stay at the event no longer than 90 minutes and will pose for no more than 50 photos with no more than 100 people. There is no press coverage of video or audio taping of her speech allowed, with the only record allowed being made by a stenographer whose transcript is given to Clinton. The paper reports, however, that the stenographer’s $1,250 bill will be paid by the UNLV Foundation.
