VANITY: There's a rumor the audience will walk out on Jeb Bush's speech at CPAC

2/27/15 | ME

[Clint N. Suhks]

Chris Plante reported this last hour doing his show at the convention.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks...

That is exactly what marxists are counting on. frustrated conservatives quitting and handing over the keys.

I believe if you could look back at the years here at FR, you would find that more people leave during the primary season than any other time.

It often gets heated and the heavy hand of God is capable of smiting the heretics....

For some of us primary season is also a good time to go to the Bahamas

[Kickass Conservative]

Thanks, my memory is a bit hazy this morning and I was just too damn lazy to Google it. LOL

Good old Arlen, the believer in Scottish Law if I recollect.

[TexasCajun]

That would be classless

...and would just great IMO.

Send a message to the Rino and his open-borders / common core supporters.

[Gaffer]

Please stop it. You can only beat an old dog so much before he bites back. That logic don’t work any more. I’m on the way to my maker and I’ll not settle for settling instead of what’s right.

I’m sitting in the Potomac Ballroom right now. Bush will take stage in about 30 min (the schedule is running late).

Right now, dozens and dozens of intern looking 20 - somethings are streaming in the room wearing Jeb badges.

I don’t think it’s to listen to Phil Robertson.

[RetSignman]

I don’t know if they would be that overt about him but silence would be deafening and ego deflating.

[RetSignman]

...streaming in the room wearing Jeb badges.
++++
It has already been revealed they would be bussed in by his non-campaign, campaign.

Just like dimocraps are infamous for.

[ziravan]

I’m very amazed at what money can buy right now. The Bush campaign has stuffed probably well over a thousand people in the main ballroom in the last 15 min.

[yldstrk]

Inviting someone to speak and then walking out is not right.

[ziravan]

In addition to filling the 500 or so empty seats, Bush has another 500 plus interns standing on the sides waiting to fill any seats that empty. I’m sitting in the back. In 15 min, the crowds went from empty seats on all sides to SRO.

[dalereed]

I hope he speaks to an empty hall!!

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

Those are Alinsky tactics. I wonder where that idea came from?

From Jeb himself. He hired Rick Perry's marketing team and told them to break their ties with Perry. I hope the Congressional Black Caucus shows up to support Jeb's CPAC talk.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Jeb up NOW...

[ziravan]

El Jefe overwhelmed the room. Some people walked out (I did), but I don’t think it was effective.

There was a protest going on outside the doors. They had to close the ballroom doors due to chants of “U.S.A.!!!” That seemed to be orchestrated by Rand Paul’s supporters although I doubt it came from his organization.

Hannity is a tool. He started by saying, “What a GREAT crowd we have here today!”

[Textide]

Hannity is a tool. The whole Q&A format was used to protect Jeb from the crowd’s questions while allowing sycophants to hoot and holler.

At least from the feed I was watching it appeared as if the crowd was 100% behind him.

[oldbrowser]

From Jeb himself.

So Jeb Bush hired protestors to walk out when it was his turn to speak?

Incidentally, I have Perry as one of my better choice. We have a very strong bench of candidates. We could pick just about any of them. I just saw Jeb speaking at the CPAC and he doesn't sound as bad as we have been portraying him. He does have some positive accomplishments.

I don't care for Bush myself, but he is preferable to Clinton or Warren.

No he's not, because none of those three is preferable to any Conservative.

My concern is if we splinter the party we will give up a historic opportunity at a critical moment.

Conservatives are not the ones splintering the party - we are holding fast to our ideals. It's the people who support the Bushes, the McCains, the Romneys, who are splintering the party.

We have very few chances left to turn around our descent into full blown socialism.

A liberal with an (R) next to their name like Bush may only be taking you down the road to socialism at half the speed a Clinton or Warren is, but they are still taking you down the road to socialism, and they are doing it with your support and your party's support.

Thanks for the post.

And you are anointing yourself as the judge for all conservatives?
