The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
When Chicago billionaire J.B. Pritzker opened his Gold Coast home to donors wanting to meet presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, he served pre-made roast beef sandwiches from Jewel.
Guests packed Pritzker’s home, mingling before hanging on every word of the candidate’s remarks. Clinton went beyond the stump speeches that might have played on CNN.
There's more:
Pritzker is among a select group of Chicago-area Clinton fundraisers known as bundlers — people who gather up smaller contributions into one lump sum. Pritzker, for example, could raise — bundle — as much as $1 million.
Energy entrepreneur Michael Polsky, media mogul Fred Eychaner and private-equity investor Antonio Gracias also are bundlers who have held soirees in their Chicago homes to raise money for Clinton. The events feel a little like speed-dating. In just over an hour, guests mingle and nibble on passed appetizers before hearing from the candidate — or her husband, former President Bill Clinton or daughter Chelsea Clinton.
The modern day Democrat party.
