Convening its top fundraisers for a glitzy dinner and concert at the St. Regis hotel in Manhattan on Thursday night, Hillary Clinton’s campaign brought in roughly $8 million for its joint fundraising group with the Democratic National Committee and state parties, three people familiar with the numberS told POLITICO.

The event — which featured remarks from both Bill and Hillary Clinton, campaign chairman John Podesta and top fundraising official Dennis Cheng, as well as a concert by rocker Sting — was the campaign's first event for the Hillary Victory Fund.

Roughly 160 fundraisers attended the reception, for which they paid a minimum of $33,400. Chairs of the event paid or raised at least $100,000.

It came just hours after Hillary Clinton joined her daughter Chelsea for a separate event at the Sheraton Hotel, featuring 600 guests (including 150 children) who paid from $250 to $2,700.

She is also impervious to lies, flip flops, right wing positions, and race baiting (at least during the primary). No worries, except for those millions of Sanders voters being driven away by her minions.

something can cost $1 or it can cost $10,000, just put it on the Black Card and the personal assistant will balance the books; if it's a real problem the accountant can make a call and the item will disappear from the wrapping room or second wine cellar

If she can't put away Sanders without my money, she is in deep trouble anyway. I suspect that other Clinton supporters are doing the same. Contrast that with Bernie's supporters giving all that money just to get him nominated. They are going to be poor folks if he get nomination, but I don't think they need to worry about that possibility, at least not yet.
