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.

Hillary needs a fashion intervention. She has always had terrible taste.

She’s so fake, and the more people see her, the more they recognize it.

I think that I’m going to have a seizure looking at those prints, pants and house coat, together. What is with those huge outlined pockets she has on many of her coats?

Wow! My mom had a housecoat like that too. Of course hers didn’t cost as much.

Hillary doesn’t mind if a dotty, pretentious social climber who married a name gives her money. Just carrying on the legacy of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Foundation.
