Mike Babinski, 58, a fourth-generation farmer in Water Mill, a Southampton hamlet whose median home value is more than $3.6 million, said some locals may identify Clinton with summer people they blame for the skyrocketing housing costs and crawling traffic. She and Bill Clinton have been summering there for years, and last August, the couple spent $100,000 renting an oceanfront estate for two weeks while she attended fundraisers, according to the East Hampton Star.

At his farm stand offering fresh raspberries, tomatoes and corn, Babinski said he’s leaning toward Trump, “even though some of the things that come out of his mouth, you have to shake your head about.” He has Latino farmhands and doesn’t like Trump disparaging “Hispanics who are good, hardworking people and just would like to be citizens.” He can’t vote for Clinton, he says, “because the way she talks, she’s not a real person.”

“This is the best this country can come up with?” he said. “Can we get any lower?”

Lucrative Lunch

It would be a mistake to conclude there’s unanimity inside either group.

Billionaire investor Wilbur Ross this month had 61 summering Hamptonites and visitors show up for a lunch with Trump -- $100,000 for co-hosts, $25,000 per couple -- at his Southampton retreat, including real estate developer Richard LeFrak, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson and SkyBridge Capital’s Anthony Scaramucci.

Other politicians “failed to understand the depth of feelings of middle-class America,” Ross said. “It’s probably the most important sociological and political phenomenon afoot today. When you think about it, the middle class has gotten a bad deal.”

One Republican who declined the invitation, Alex Navab, head of KKR & Co. LP’s Americas private-equity division, said he intends to vote for Clinton.

“This rage that’s going on, I’m worried,” said Navab, who owns a house in Southampton.

After watching each convention at his Wainscott home, Wien said Friday that Clinton gained ground when she attacked Trump’s assertion that only he could solve the nation’s problems.
