Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton is getting ready to celebrate her husband’s 70th birthday this evening on Martha’s Vineyard, according to a Clinton aide speaking to CNN.
Obama is also vacationing on the island, although it is unclear whether he and Michelle Obama plan to join the Clintons for the momentous occasion.
Clinton’s trip coincides with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s visit to Louisiana to highlight the suffering of local citizens after the state was hit by unprecedented flooding in the area.

That is exactly what it is.
Love the optics.
Commercial:
On Screen, date of Trump’s visit to Louisiana flood victims.
Clips of scenes of Trump during visit.
On screen, same date. Clips of Obama playing golf at Martha’s Vineyard.
On screen, same date. Clips of Hillary and Bill at party.
Bill’s party is a smokescreen. This is an emergency strategy meeting with zero due to internal polls that show her losing badly.
Dollar to a doughnut Bubba wants to spend his 70th birthday night with anyone but Hillary!
That goes without saying.
I read that Obama was at a $10K a plate fundraiser or something —that takes more importance —wonder if the Beast was in attendance as well?
Yep. King of the horn dogs would rather be on Epstein’s island doing the horizontal bop with a ... Never mind.

I read somewhere those areas would be 80% white victims. So Obama is already threatening action if the 20% don’t get their goodies - and THAT will be his only concern down there on Tues (finally).
“Phew! I realize Martha’s Vineyard is the playground of people who give greedy, insatiable politicians money, but you could walk it in a day-————”

Really? You must be a very fast walker.

Kellyanne Conway joining the Trump team this week is a good sign and tells me the internals for Trump must not be what they’re feeding the public. If anyone knows his internal poll numbers it would be her. I don’t think she’d jump on a sinking ship.
...because she and Bill are so close. Yeah, that's right!
“The optics of this is incredible”
I was just thinking how terrible the optics are for the Dems this weekend. It’s hard to believe they’re letting Trump make them look so bad, but they are.
Must be more going on behind the scenes than we can even imagine, for them to misstep this badly.
Ha, ha, crappy birthday to Bill! Maybe even more so if Hillary overflows her diaper! [Evil laugh]
My guess is that she will tag along with Obama on Tuesday getting a free ride on AF1.
Ha, perfect! Thanks!
LucyT ping! Interesting compilation...
From Freeper Rebelbase:

“This is an emergency strategy meeting...”
My sense as well...I did a little digging and some compilation:
MAGGIEF: I looked for info on Martha’s Vineyard birthday get-together for Bill’s 70th-—CRICKETS?:
Was Bill already there? Hillary flew up just for dinner with Bill? If so, why was Bill at Martha’s Vineyard? For Monday’s Hillary Fundraiser with Obama?
Chelsea can’t wait for them to get back from MV to celebrate in person?

LOOK AT THIS WEEK’S EVENTS-—Bill & Hill’s Excellent Adventure!
A call from Ed Rendell on Sat, Aug 13th:
“I definitely think if she wins the presidency they have to disband it. I know it’ll be hard for President (Bill) Clinton because he cares very deeply about what the foundation has done,” former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a close Clinton ally, told the Daily News. “It’d be impossible to keep the foundation open without at least the appearance of a problem.”
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/hillary-win-shutdown-clinton-foundation-article-1.2750195
and the Boston Globe on Tuesday, Aug 16:
The Clintons should move now to end donations to the foundation, and make plans to shut it down in November. Even if they’ve done nothing illegal, the foundation will always look too much like a conflict of interest for comfort.
“The Clinton Foundation said ***Thursday [Aug 18] *** it will not accept foreign or corporate donations if Hillary Clinton is elected president in November.”
“Bill Clinton also plans to cease giving paid speeches”
“... he would resign from the Clinton Foundation board, should Hillary Clinton win in November.”
“Bill Clinton also said the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York next month will be the final CGI meeting, no matter what happens with Hillary Clinton in November.”

By Friday, Aug 19, the Clinton Foundation was already reneging -— CHAI and Giustra’s CGEP:

Also reported by Wapo on Friday:
“Chelsea Clinton would remain on the board for a transition period. However, her name, as well as Hillary Clinton’s, would be dropped from the charity’s title, which would revert to the Clinton Foundation from its current formal name, the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.”

From ExTexasRedhead:
“Newt said we’ve only heard 10% of the Clinton Foundation corruption. Watch the video of last night’s Hannity show.”

***Transcript of Newt on Hannity, Friday, Aug 19***:
Hannity: Do you think he [Trump] wins this?
NEWT: Yes, for 2 reasons. First of all, I was privileged to sit through a 2 hour briefing over at the RNC outlining all the things they’ve learned about Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton. It is so staggering. We haven’t seen 10% of what we’re going to learn in September. She is going to drown under the impact.
“And you are seeing it already when you have...Rendell...and the Boston Globe....close the Foundation.”
“Every Democratic candidate in the country in the next 20 days will be asked by the republican candidate, ‘Are you for closing the Clinton Foundation’ because it is a cesspool of corruption.... Here’s the real problem-—Whatever they say now about what they’re going to restrict, you have to ask, ‘So why didn’t you do that when you were SoS’ because it is admitting that there is at least the appearance of corruption.
And, frankly, ***given what I’ve seen in the last 24 hours***, there are case after case after case. So, my first point Shawn is that she’s going to lose...
