"I’m looking around Scotiabank Arena, the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and it’s a depressing sight."

"It’s two-for-the-price-of-one in half the arena. The hockey rink is half curtained off, but even with that, organizers are scrambling at the last minute to cordon off more sections behind thick black curtains, they say due to a lack of sales. I paid $177 weeks in advance. (I passed on the pricey meet-and-greet option.) On the day of the event, some unsold tickets are slashed to single digits."

Writes Maureen Dowd in "Curtains for the Clintons" (NYT).

Why did the Clintons think they could fill arenas — and at prices like that? It's so delusional. Dowd tries to answer the question, and the main speculation is that Hillary is running for President again. But the empty seats in the arena were so predictable, so it shows the opposite of what she would need — the sense that people are clamoring for more Clinton.
The Clintons refuse to be discarded. It has been their joint project for half a century to be at the center of the public scene and debate.... Nothing they have done lately suggests that they have learned anything, including their obtuse post-#MeToo comments about Monica Lewinsky..... Their pathological need to be relevant in America is belied by a Canadian arena, where stretches of empty seats bear witness to the passing of their relevance. It’s a pity.

Hagar said...

I am not convinced she is running again.
Still, there must be some reason for all that travelling. Hillary! has never done anything just for the fun of it.

Hagar said...

Quite expensive too, and she has never willingly paid for anything (except perhaps Chelsea's wedding) herself.

Etienne said...

Bottom line: she paid $177, and she paid it early. She has way too much petty cash.

traditionalguy said...

Maybe this is a theatrical production to create the message that that Killery is a Presidential Candidate against Trump. If so , it was done soley make her coming arrest seem like a mere political tactic.

Rob said...

I have no doubt the $177 was expensed to the Times, as was Ms. Dowd's airplane ticket and hotel room. All to watch this sorry spectacle. Better she should have gone to something meaningful, like a cockfight.

But introspection has never been within the Clintons’ range.

Nor conscience. They are sociopaths.

Henry said...

Whew. I was worried there for a minute. From the blog title I thought she was dissing the actual Maple Leafs.

Nonapod said...

After decades of being the Rock Stars of the Left, their power and influence seems to be finally waning. Only nobody dared to tell them that personally. I mean, who would want to be the messenger to tell Hillary to her face that she no longer clearly commands the unwavering devotion of millions of sycophants? That she's no longer relevent?

The only question now is will this reality penetrate the carefully curated bubble of delusion the Clintons are surrounded by.

Part of me is relieved that more people on the Left seem to be finally openly admitting some of the Clinton's deep flaws, questionable behavior, and generally awfulness. But I'm under no illusions about whether this will translate to a more honest and self aware left wing base (Spoiler: It won't).

Etienne said...

Minor note: Both Hillary and Donald are too old. If I vote (doubtful) I will vote for someone not older than 55, with an active duty military background.

I'm tired of lawyers, capitalists, and socialists. Just give me a son of a bitch.

It's so delusional.

Like Hillary in Bosnia, the country dodged a bullet this past presidential election...

tcrosse said...

It's disappointing because Hillary carried Ontario by 10 points in 2016, especially in the wealthy suburbs around Toronto. But our antiquated, anti-democratic Constitution gives no electoral votes to Ontario, thus disenfranchising and marginalizing Canadians.

At this point, a Bill & Hillary cover band would generate more interest.

The stadium (and the attendance) is just a way to get the real payment to the Clintons.

If this "tour" is an attempt by the Clintons to keep themselves relevant in anticipation of the 2020 elrection, why did they start it in a foreign country?

That makes the most sense to me, too. At this point, running as a presidential candidate may be simply an attempt to keep out of the orange jumpsuit.

Bilwick said...

Is Scotiabank Arena where that recent video of Clinton fans fleeing questions about Monica Lewinsky, etc., was shot? I remember it was Canada but don't remember the exact location?

Jimmy said...

The Clintons perfected the art of corruption, character assassination and money laundering. The torch has been passed to their students, who will no doubt continue that fine tradition. The candidate field for 2020 includes men and women who clearly have ambitions to make the Clintons appear to be amateurs.

mockturtle said...

tcrosse observes: But our antiquated, anti-democratic Constitution gives no electoral votes to Ontario, thus disenfranchising and marginalizing Canadians.

No disenfranchisement or marginalization of Mexican nationals, though...

MayBee said...

I'm with Paddy O. If it looks like you are no longer a candidate for anything, it's hard to keep the money rolling in.

The person my Facebook friends seem excited to see is Michelle Obama. These are mostly white upper middle class women, so there is a bit of My Black BFF-ing going on here. Like Oprah used to be our black BFF.

DanTheMan said...

I guess it must be hard for her. Two years ago, she was the Queen of the Democratic party.
She was going to be the most powerful person in the world. 65 million Americans voted for her.

Now, the party is telling her to shut up and go away.

That must be very hard to reconcile.

Robert Catesby said...

RE: "What is the point? . . . It can’t be the money at this point. Have they even spent all the Goldman gold yet? Do they want to swim in their cash like Scrooge McDuck? The Clintons’ tin cup is worthy of the Smithsonian. They hoovered more than $2 billion in contributions to their campaigns, foundation and philanthropies."
Yes, it's the money and the adulation. How stupid is Dowd not to see this? How out of touch?

"I know now who he is, what he is. There’s nothin’ he won’t do. He’s immune to shame. Move past all the nice posturing and get really down in there in him, you find absolutely nothing . . . nothing but an appetite” -- Jesse Jackson

Yancey Ward said...

She is definitely planning to run again- if she weren't, she wouldn't be booking venues like the hockey arena- they would be much smaller. It is definitely possible that Clinton is over-estimating her chances at getting the nomination, and that the lack of turnout proves it, but I would just mention one thing- Clinton had trouble drawing large crowds during the last election cycle, and still was the nominee and came within about 100,000 votes of winning, too.

I would not bet against her if the field is large which seems to be the case.

bagoh20 said...

What could they have to say that anyone really needs to hear now? Sure, they have inside information that would be interesting, but they will not be divulging that. I'd love to ask them some questions, but those questions will not be allowed, ever. As for speechifying, haven't they already said everything they got a hundred times before? I guess it's like going to see Cher or Wayne Newton. They keep singing those same songs every night becuase people keep buying tickets.

Gregg said...

Isn't this a case where something is better than nothing?, and Althouse always says nothing is a high standard. The Democrats don't have anyone else right now. And, if it turns out nobody rises to the top, or this Mueller thing sticks, she can always say... "I never gave up on you, even though you gave up on me", or some such. I don't think she cares who shows up right now, or the money, as long as she still gets press. Everybody loves a comeback, and watching to see how she picks herself up, dusts herself off and gets out of this one. We all know the Clintons don't go away, and they've proven, there's always a path back no matter how bleak it looks at this juncture.

readering said...

Well, I guess if Cher is still touring...

Jimmy said...

"The person my Facebook friends seem excited to see is Michelle Obama" Yes indeed. She is clearly the front runner, even if she is 'unannounced' Her biggest obstacle will be her husband, who is incapable of opening his mouth with out adoring himself. If she can get him to STFU, she would be the one to beat. The white liberal women and males without testicles are just waiting to engage in some epic self-flagellation. Plus, Opie would be all over it.

Gregg said...

Of course, she'll never let it go. If she lost to Jeb Bush, or Rubio etc. Then it wouldn't matter. But, losing to Trump......that has to be vindicated, and the only was is through a rematch. Reboot. And, nobody in the Democratic party has the power to stop it.

Martin said...

They should have booked large theaters, 2000-3000 seats, which they would have filled and had to set up overflow sites. Then the story would be how popular they still are.

But they, esp. Hillary, are too arrogant for that. That's why she lost in 2016--arrogance. She was arrogant as a Wellesley graduation speaker, never in her life accomplished anything Bill didn't set up for her even as her ego grew with her lack of accomplishments, and in 2016 she ignored his political advice, which is rather absurd and may speak to psychological issues when one considers his record of political successes.

At 70+ years of age, people rarely change their fundamentals, she is what she is and has always been.

RK said...

It's just too bad she probably won't live long enough to see Trump's face on Mount Rushmore.

Francisco D said...

Why did the Clintons think they could fill arenas — and at prices like that? It's so delusional

They are delusional because they were consistently admired and protected by the MSM. Any negative feedback they received was delegitimized because it was done by a vast right wing conspiracy of racists, homophobes, sexists, etc.

This is a problem on college campuses where alternatives to progressive views are treated as hate speech. Progressives no longer know how to debate alternative ideas because they do not have to confront them. Stereotyping and name calling Whites and conservative minorities is used as a form of "argument."

Living in the lefty bubble = shared delusional thinking

NYPost: Donations To Clinton Foundation Plunged After Hillary's Defeat

This Investors.com article says during Hillary's term as SecState donations to the Clinton Foundation averaged $254M/year. In 2017 they received $26.5M.

But there is NO EVIDENCE that any donors were trying to buy influence with the Clintons. None.

Comanche Voter said...

Maureen--it is not "a pity". It is "reality". Hillary Clinton has become Harold Stassen in a pant suit. She's got a long way to go though. She's run for President twice now. I think Harold ran either 7 or 9 times. Can I imagine a 92 year old Hillary running for President for the 7th time? Well, maybe. When she dies, they will embalm her and keep bringing her out every four years. There will be some Dems that will always vote for "their Mummy".

Bob Boyd said...

Dowd quotes this guy:
“What scares me the most is Hillary’s smug certainty of her own virtue as she has become greedy and how typical that is of so many chic liberals who seem unaware of their own greed,” Charlie Peters, the legendary liberal former editor of The Washington Monthly, told me. “They don’t really face the complicity of what’s happened to the world, how selfish we’ve become and the horrible damage of screwing the workers and causing this resentment that the Republicans found a way of tapping into.”

Then she immediately proves him right by following with this:
"Indeed, in the era of Trump, greed is not only good. It’s grand. The stock market is our highest value. Mammonism rules."

Under Obama the stock market was the highest value because it was the only economic indicator in positive territory. Trump came in saying that wasn't good enough. Jobs and growth are higher values in the era of Trump.

I'm surprised she didn't pay people to fill the seats. But maybe she's not all that free with her ill-gotten gains.

rehajm said...

The Clintons perfected the art of corruption, character assassination and money laundering.

...and nobody of substance or with teeth has called them on it. They keep getting away with it. Most of the major industrial complex devoted to these activities- Think Progress, Premise Data (that brought you toddandclaire.com), the slime ball law firm that invented the Kavanaugh accuser, the numerous fundraisers...that whole pre-election crazy wall/organization chart of slimy lefties ready to take administration jobs- all still at work and still run by Team Clinton. Anybody else on the left have that much meat on their bones?

Dowd can try but she's no influencer. THAT'S why the Clinton's are still around and why Hillary is running again.

James K said...

MoDo has to devote part of her column to ridiculing Trump, per the NYT style guide.

Don't worry - Hollywood elites and Rachel are still pulling for the Clintons. Even if they have to ignore all the insider deals the Clintons piled-high from the Russians while SHE-> was Secretary of State.

My current theory is that she's trying to stir up excitement for another run so that she can play kingmaker during the primary. She'll build up a base of support that the other candidates need, and trade her endorsement for putting Clinton loyalists into key positions in the DNC and the 2020 campaign.

MadisonMan said...

I do not find a lack of enthusiasm for Clinton depressing.

Who on Earth does? Who is Dowd writing for?

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

The little snag Hillary is facing for 2020 are the voters in her party.
That's why she and her surrogates are out there trashing any potential RIVAL. Also why the early primary for dems will be altered to favor places SHE-> would win. Places like CA, Ill, and NY. All the states that loathe her and want her off the stage, like Iowa and New Hampshire et.al, they will be ignored and skipped by Rachel's Red Queen.

Anther snag is that her Private Server (called -e-mail by the hacks) is still a problem. Perhaps the new head of the DOJ will re-open? Plus- there's Bill's #MeToo cumuppance.

Hillary needs a boat load of manipulations to become likable. Is Putin available?

William said...

I think she should have a coughing fit or maybe even a fainting spell during some of her appearances. This would introduce an element of suspense and danger to her talks. When the moderator asks her if she wishes to pause, she can say no, that the words she says are just too important to be left unsaid. Then the audience could jump to their feet and give her a standing ovation, and the press could write about her courage and fortitude......,if she wants to get really edgy, she could have an episode of bowel and bladder incontinence. People would say that her shit just got real. Politicians are always talking shit, but Hillary produces the real deal.

Tom T. said...

Interesting that they were trolling for money in Canada. Can even the Maple Leafs fill the Maple Leafs' arena?

What with the Epstein story, the Dowd piece, it's hard not to think that word has gone out on some organized list to nip the Clintons in the bud this time around.

hawkeyedjb said...

Were those prices in Canadian dollars? So, like 70 cents on the dollar? Maybe the attendance was in Canadian also. 3,300 Canadian tickets sold = 2,300 American.

Wince said...

Why did the Clintons think Canadians would be interested in the first place?

My understanding is:

Michelle Obama sold around 12,000 in Boston and wisely "papered" the leftover seats to her motivational, self-help book tour.

The Clintons haven't sold-out the 2,500 theater they will be speaking at.

The Obamas are positioning themselves to be king makers, after all the damage done to Democrats during 8 years in office. Hillary still wants to be king.

While both families are sucking a lot of oxygen away from others within the Democrat party, given the respective postures, it's likely Democrats will flock for Obama love and want Hillary off to the side.

Bob Boyd said...

When Hillary dies, Trump should offer to fly her remains to Canada on Air Force One.

From the article:
What is the point? It’s not inspirational. It’s not for charity. They’re not raising awareness about a cause, like Al Gore with global warming. They’re only raising awareness about the Clintons.

It can’t be the money at this point.


It IS be the money at this point. Hillary knows she is not going to be the candidate in 2020. But keeping the theory that she may be alive is critical to keep the money flowing in!

Sometimes a banana is just a banana, and in this case, fundraising is just fundraising.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

After the White House, the money-grubbing raged on, with the Clintons making over 700 speeches in a 15-year period, blithely unconcerned with any appearance of avarice or of shady special interests and foreign countries buying influence. They stockpiled a whopping $240 million. Even leading up to her 2016 presidential run, Hillary was packing in the speeches, talking to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, the American Camp Association, eBay, and there was that infamous trifecta of speeches for Goldman Sachs worth $675,000.

“What scares me the most is Hillary’s smug certainty of her own virtue as she has become greedy and how typical that is of so many chic liberals who seem unaware of their own greed,” Charlie Peters, the legendary liberal former editor of The Washington Monthly, told me. “They don’t really face the complicity of what’s happened to the world, how selfish we’ve become and the horrible damage of screwing the workers and causing this resentment that the Republicans found a way of tapping into.” He ruefully worries about the Obamas in this regard, too.

Alas, it is this Tuesday. Anyway, if you want to go, the $70 tickets are now going for as low as $8 with Orchestra seating below $50.

A lot of folks here seem to think that Hillary is well-liked and popular with many people. She isn't. There are maybe seven or eight people who like her. That's it. In the entire world. Everyone else, including those who have voted for her -- including Bill -- view her with utter disgust. Even Lanny Davis, who is so far up her butt as to be stuck in her throat.

Everyone is sick of her -- and have been for 20 years.

They have given her money and cast ballots with her name on it though because they think they can get some benefit from it and because they are totally lacking in any self-respect. They hold her in contempt but are whores themselves. But given a chance to go with anyone else, they will jump at the chance -- and have in the past.

As to why the Clintons do it -- my guess is that it costs a lot to keep the Clinton machine going.

A lot of people have spent a lot of time advancing the Clintons' interests. They need to be employed whether a Clinton is in office or not, and Hillary needs to keep them on the team if she wants to stay viable.

Once upon a time, those people would be employed by the party. But we're in an era of private political machines, so candidates have to pay for their own party apparatus. Which adds up fast.

"I’m looking around Scotiabank Arena, the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and it’s a depressing sight."

Not nearly as depressing as the fact the Leafs play in something called "Scotiabank Arena" and not Maple Leaf Gardens.
