....Supporters estimate that, together, the Clintons headlined 75 rallies and fundraisers — and logged roughly 50,000 miles jetting from state to state.....

75 trips for a million dollars is over $13,000 a trip.

Incredibly, the writer seems to think Bilk and Shillary are WORTHY of the demigod treatment....

I am just glad the money was spent in a LOSING CAUSE.

Can’t Hillary buy her own damn plane ticket???

I know she is broke and all that, but, no matter how broke, they clearly have no trouble paying their bills.

And the royalties from Hillary’s book have to be rolling in. How’s her book sales doing anyway? Is it in a sale bin at a 99 cent store yet???

They shipped the remaining copies to Kenya. You can pick up a copy, along with a 2014 Auburn Tigers national Champs T-shirt.

That is a lot of money to spend moving pigs by air.

According to the article, the Clintoons buying their own tickets would be illegal. So, you see, they NEED those tens of thousands per flight.

Clintons made things worse, wherever they went to campaign. They are quietly looking for a way out for Hillary. They know she is losing any race big time.

Yes, the figure is about right.

To visit Landreau, it cost over $17,000.

Can’t fly commercial and be exposed to the rabble.

Really??? It’s illegal to buy your own plane ticket, to go to a political event to support a candidate running for office??? I’m stunned that it would be against the law for the Clintons to spend their own money for this.

....

When you figure a private jet and hotel expenses, that’s all they were getting, expenses. The poop that came out of their mouths was free. Normally it costs much more.

Of course, they were.

Bill & Hillary are in demand and don’t offer their services for free.

As it turned out, the Clintons couldn’t save Democrats who paid them to campaign with them from drowning.

Just ask poor Charlie Crist where he is today.

The funny thing is the Democrats will still nominate Hillary as a reward for helping to beat the stuffing out of them.

I heard that when you asked a Bama fan how fast Auburn lost to TA&M last weekend, the response is “in a snap”.

There is a shortage of toilet paper in Kenya. Those books are probably being put to good use.
