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

Posted on 08/21/2016 6:23:14 PM PDT by jonatron

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.

I would have cheered also.

Like one of my old tag lines.....

“EVERYBODY PLEASES EVERYBODY.
Some by entering the room,
Others by leaving the room.”

It looks like the floor of my gym.

Good work caaw.
Hillary’s garments remind me of what we used to do when camping and caught in a storm w/o rain gear: cut two arm holes in large black trash bags.
She’s wearing bags.

Only one horse at the trough at a time. Now we know why democrats spend their vacations at MV. It’s where they get their bribe money and their marching orders. Notice how they made the point that he wasn’t there, and this Rothschild supposedly didn’t vote for him. Yeah, right. He’s taken a lot of money from this lot and the media would have a hard time smoothing it completely out for him

Thanks for the explanation. I did think that as far as photos of her go, that was pretty flattering. Every facet of the woman is suspect.

Sounds a bit like the week before Bastille Day . . .

These reporters/ fans obviously saw something when Hillary was having that seizure.......

Attention Lucy T:

The black woman on her left is also another individual frequently in her photos..and always close by.....a nurse assistant perhaps????? Or at least one who does know her health issues....need to find out who she is....

Yep...

When you’re consistently looking at photo sites you notice when they’re manipulating what’s allowed and what’s taken down of Hillary.....google and bing along with others are IMO very much in Hillary’s court. As are some of the other social sites like twitter, facebook etc.

Their problem is that despite the teams they have working to alter visuals or remove them, there are many more out there pulling them off equally as rapidly, because they see what’s happening.

So when ever you see a photo it’s just good to pull it right then.

Some are assuming Hillary’s wired with a defilberator because of the various bumps in her clothing.....but it could also just be a bullet proof vest beneath her jackets.....even so...she is obvious not in good health for whatever reasons.

Still, I’m not so sure making an issue of her health too strongly is wise.....they could easily then play off that for a sympathy vote. In fact may do so as the debates approach and the election itself begins.

My opinion: DJT needs to stay away from subjext except for pointing out she’s not campaigning (she is raising money-— never enough— over a million a day just to pay staff)
Let others ask and point out other issues related to health
Really don’t think its a BP vest as she has gotten no bigger in breast. The weight is in belly. (Liver issues)

I'm not convinced their bags yet...could be bullet proof vest...at any rate she's not well no matter what she's wearing...her face alone speaks volumes....somethings going on..be it great fatigue or a combination of illness and fatigue............sometimes she looks like she's disassociating....there but not there.

Keep in mind too that they told Hillary to practice smiling and laughing like a cartoon character exaggerating because left on her own I don't think she can pull off certain expressions naturally.

Further Hillary can no longer distinguish truth from fiction as she's pretty much indoctrinated and brainwashed herself to believe perception rules....truth and falsehood are no longer a part of her being.

Yes, I think you’re right but I’m just not sure...and why is she always hoovering around Hillary? She is often seen around her.
