Clinton Donors Could Not Save Kathleen Matthews in Maryland

The Washington Free Beacon reports Kathleen Matthews lost even though the Clinton machine was behind her :
Matthews also received help from some of Hillary Clinton’s top donors and associates in her failed quest to win the Democratic nomination.

The donors, many of whom are close friends and among the biggest backers of Clinton, aided Matthews by giving the maximum amount allowed by law.

Elaine Schuster, a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly who previously served on the board of the Clinton Foundation, gave $2,700 to Matthews’ campaign. Elaine, along with her husband Gerald, are one of only 12 families who have provided financial help to every Clinton campaign and cause.

Their granddaughter, who works as a digital strategist on Clinton’s presidential campaign, also gave to the campaign of Matthews last November.

Mark Penn, a close friend of the Clintons who worked as President Bill Clinton’s pollster and was also a former senior campaign strategist for Hillary, gave the maximum $2,700 allowed to Matthews.
Imagine that. A loss for MSNBC.
