Huh. I wonder why the Clintons might be shutting down their “Global Initiative?” It would of course be silly to suspect that since Hillary didn’t win the Presidency, her ability to influence foreign policy is diminished to approximately nothing, and thus donations from foreign governments have stopped. The Clinton Global Initiative was supposed to be a charitable organization working to help out the poor people of the world. Did all the po foke suddenly vanish like a fart in a hurricane after the election? Are the claimed goals of the CGI now met?
This does say something interesting about the future. As has been noted ad nauseum, Hillary won the popular vote, and by a substantial margin. Had her campaign been less insulting, she *should* have easily won. And given the likely wacky nature of th next four years, you’d think that she should be thinking that she could successfully run in 2020. But by shuttering her cash cow, it *seems* like she might be throwing in the towel on future ambitions.
