Hillary Clinton dropped by the resort island of Martha’s Vineyard over the weekend to pick up more than $1 million in campaign contributions during an elegant party at the summer home of one of her most devoted supporters.
Thirty people contributed $50,000 apiece to attend the Saturday night function at the home of Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a wealthy investment manager so committed to Clinton that she couldn’t bring herself to vote for then-Sen. Barack Obama after he defeated her candidate in 2008.
President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama were on the island at the time of the Saturday fundraiser, but aides to the president said early on that the president did not plan to attend. Instead, the Obamas made a semi-public appearance dining on the white linens of Chesca’s Restaurant in this well-heeled part of the island. Dozens of people gathered as they ate and cheered them as they departed for their motorcade.
But the event of the day on the island was the Clinton fundraiser. Edgartown salons were full of people getting ready for the catered event that evening, set under a sprawling white tent on the Rothschild family's waterfront property. Reporters could hear cheering in the distance but weren’t invited to come beyond the large guesthouse.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump showed what real leadership looks like in flood-ravaged Louisiana.
“Reporters could be heard cheering...”
Kinda says it all, doesn’t it?
Rothchild...now there’ a name you don’t hear associated with “Big Banks”.
See, she’s raising money from the wealthy to give to the poor!
...and this concludes the latest episode in our serialization of “The Hunger Games”.
Trump meets and greets normal, everyday working Americans while Hillary snobs with the “elites”...
Trump meets and hands out supplies to flood ravaged normal, everyday working Americans while Obama plays golf...
Such a hard choice for president, eh????
Ultimately, Hillary’s illegal behavior is still HIS Department of State. He is responsible.
So where are the reports of her donors having to run through a gauntlet of Trump goons? How about BLM protesting the lack of diversity? Any Sanders socialist protesting outside to distribute some of that wealth?
The pigs of the Left and all their little piglets.
but but but she is for the working class .
PFFTT
Imagine the lovely scene on the sprawling estate as raised champagne glasses clink for a toast to Louisianans, “Let them eat cake!”
Frankly I’m surprised. These people in Martha’s Vineyard could probably scrape together 1.5 million by scrounging through the sofa cushions.
Th optics of this event are bad for her. She should keep it up.
Now thats 'richer' than a Rothschild coming from Hellary.
That would be CNN's very own John King and his band of *LYING LIARS* cheering in the distance.
A million? That’s all? On the Vineyard? She is toast.
