Hillary Clinton raises $1.5 million at Martha's Vineyard party while Obamas dine elsewhere
LA Times ^ | 8/18/2016 | Christi Parsons

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.

Is that a thick wool coat in the middle of August? Hiding her Depends, is she?

I will refrain from commenting on that pic. My mind is in the gutter.

Well I’ve been gathering various photos of Hillary....and that was one of many now they’re pulling off the net...or when I click a photo to go to the actual site located a different photo altogether comes up instead..., far more favorable of course...

What I’m seeing is not only is the media supporting her...but the photos on line or being screwed around with so you either can’t pull them or they’re switching them.

I pulled that one because Boston news pulled it.

And she will likely quickly deplete this amount of money too!

I’d like to know who dresses HRC? Does anyone take responsibility for that miss-matched combo she had on today?

Cher looks like she gained a bunch of weight too - though I haven’t seen a picture of her in like a decade or so.

Cher’s gained in her waist on down and covers it with wide legged pants.

These high $$$ end tent-frocks are designed for her by fashion designer "Armani".....Having been in the high fashion Industry, and familiar with his work, I cannot help but assume he designing these to "conceal"....thus the A-frame affect....also because they appear to either zip or otherwise any buttons, it would be for ease of dressing.

I think you may be right.

The pattern beneath her hand in the second picture does not look like the pattern in the same spot in the first.

Also look at the blurryness of the line of the back of her right thigh and her left calf in the first picture.

More Wall Street and Hedge Fund money for the woman of the little guy. How much was added to the Clinton Family Laundry?

Had a couch in the 70s that looked just like that coat. Just long enough to hide a catheter bag.

I have to say they are the ugliest things I have ever seen. So disappointed in Armani. Looks like a K Mart special to me.

Well she does have a very wide girth pretty much from her breasts on down to her feet even....but it’s more than her weight I believe possible they’re hiding.

Frankly I would just as soon the issue of her health be far less made an issue of.....she’s so bad on the issues without it!
