The Bitterness Tour

By Cal Thomas MELBOURNE Australia -- When you hear world tour you usually think of superstars performing concerts in various cities for adoring fans. Not so with the presidentially deprived entitlement-driven Hillary Clinton. Last week Hillary Clinton came to Melbourne Australias second largest city and to Sydney its largest with a huge chip on her shoulder. The chip has been there since the 2016 election and seems to be growing larger with every appearance. As with almost everything else the Clintons do it cost to hear her bitterness. Those who went to hear Clinton speak more than 5000 people paid between $200 and $500 Australian dollars (about $15 to $380 US). What they heard was criticism of President Trump and his foreign and domestic policies. Not that long ago Americans made an effort to stop partisan politics at the waters edge but no more. Especially with some Democratic politicians who seem to believe that government belongs to them and when Republicans win an election it was somehow stolen from its rightful owners. Interviewed by former liberal Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard Hillary Clinton eventually got to what she believes is the real reason she lost to Donald Trump. It was misogynistic men and women who voted the way their husbands told them to that prevented her from making history or if you prefer herstory. Hillary Clinton was at it even before the event began by tweeting that President Trumps withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal was a big mistake that actually makes the U.S. less safe. As if America would be safer by trusting the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world to live up to an agreement when Irans religious and political leaders regularly speak of their commitment to destroy us (and Israel too). In his account of her appearance Chip Le Grand of The Australian newspaper writes that while Hillary Clinton was at times disarmingly honest (that seemed to be a first) warm funny and optimistic she also appeared self-serving and sad. Like a boxer who doesnt know when to leave the ring Hillary Clinton is a two-time political loser who hasnt gotten the message that she is unlikeable and unelectable. She would do herself and the country (not to mention the Democratic Party) a favor by retiring and leaving the scene of her political accident. There is still money to be made however and to the Clintons money is their catnip. The Wall Street Journal reported last Friday: ...its Clinton fundraising season. This has been true of every season of every year since the late 1970s. But this is a particularly important moment because of a major event that is now less than two weeks away. Last month Axios reported: Longtime Clinton supporters last week received an invitation offering access to the family (the green invitation features photos of Bill Hillary and Chelsea) at a Clinton Foundation benefit on May 24 in New York at prices ranging from $2500 (Friend) for cocktail party and dinner up to $100000 (Chair) for Leadership Reception for two a premium table of ten program recognition as Gala Chair and invitations to the Clinton Foundation Annual Briefing. The now defunct Clinton Global Initiative (which not surprisingly stopped receiving large donations after Hillary Clintons defeat) spent a lot of donor money on a large staff travel and miscellaneous expenses. What do new contributors to the Clinton Foundation hope to get in return for their donations? More bitterness perhaps? Very sad.
