How “hot” are tickets to Hillary Clinton events?
Not so hot. That\’s how hot.
Excerpted from Philip Devoe\’s blog at dailycaller.com:
Virginia Democrats were offered free tickets Friday to the annual Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Virginia, Hillary Clinton\’s first campaign stop in the critical swing state.
In an email leaked to Business Insider, supporters of Clinton\’s campaign in Virginia were given a chance to forego the $30 price for tickets to the event, as long as they provide the code included in the email. The event was intended to support democratic fundraising for the state, but Clinton\’s appearance and speech are geared toward garnering support among East Coast Democrats.
An operative for a 2016 Republican candidate took a shot at the Democratic frontrunner, referencing the irony surrounding her previous PR disaster of her speech prices.
“How bad is it out there for Hillary? She\’s gone from paid speeches to paying people to hear her speeches.”
Ouch.
And, further on in the blog, it is noted that there were 10,000 seats available at a price for this event…but only about 2,000 were actually sold.
At some point it will become clear to even the most myopic Hillary supporters, that her poll numbers remain high only because there is an absence of major-league competition within her party (Martin O\’Malley has fizzled like an opened can of club soda in the summer sun). Someone with name recognition and some cachet among Democrats – maybe a Joe Biden, for example, but he is not the only one – has a chance to drop her like Johannsen dropped Patterson.
With an opportunity this ripe, I have a feeling it won\’t be long…..
