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.

Ok...got her...

She's a "79" year old feminest, one of Hillary's most Liberal/Progressive Members of congress.... a 14-term Democrat representing Washington, D.C..is among the very privileged 1% in DC,....part of the problem....one of Hillary's "Protectors"....and why she's hanging around her so much.

Can't even park her car let alone serve....typical entitlement arrogant class... when it comes to parking, she acts as though she is entitled to make her own rules.

I'm gonna just leave this here. Some things speak for themselves.

She’s wearing the back-brace there already, before the election.
