Looks like Hillary is up to her old tricks — and this time her dubiousness has reached Broadway.
The New York Post reported that the Clinton campaign’s “Meet Hillary” sweepstakes included the prize of watching “Hamilton,” the smash hip hop musical depicting Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and the story of the American Revolution.
The sweepstakes has an interesting disclaimer: “No purchase, payment, contribution, or signing up to receive texts is necessary to win, and will not improve chances of winning.” But after sending in one’s name in the hope of being randomly selected, a message from the Clinton campaign immediately follows. It reads: “Want to increase your odds? Every donation you make automatically enters you again. Chip in whenever you can,” according to the Post.
In other words — the selection of the winners won’t exactly be impartial. Those who donate substantial cash — up to $100,000 — can earn anything from nosebleed seats to a photo opportunity, a party hosted by Clinton herself, or even an invitation to the DNC convention.
Furthermore, the winners will only get to see the show on July 12 — three days after three of the original cast members, including creator and writer Lin-Manuel Miranda, leave the production.
