Jeb Bush is going to need more than an exclamation point at the end of his name to generate excitement in New Hampshire.
During a speech at the Hanover Inn on Tuesday, Bush's "fiery riff" on protecting the country didn't generate the response he wanted, The New York Times reports:
Mr. Bush finished a fiery riff about protecting the country as commander in chief - "I won't be out here blowharding, talking a big game without backing it up," he said - and was met with total silence.
"Please clap," he said, sounding defeated.
The crowd laughed - and then, finally, clapped.
Tough crowd.

YEAH, SAW HE, SHE, OR IT PRACTICING HOW TO CLAP ON CUE!
LOL oh crap.
It’s come to this. Pobre Jebito.
Well, it’s Boston. What did he expect?
“Mummy, Mummy, they won’t clap for me - WAHHHHHH!
This is political limbo.How low can he go?
It’s getting painful to watch.
His campaign already has a case of the clap. He doesn’t need more.
Every candidate is painful to watch, is this really the best we can do?
Attention GOP-e: You wasted $100M trying to get someone to the general no one wanted.
Ryan, grow a pair, tell Jeb to go home and stop lecturing conservatives.
I dreamed I saw John Ellis Bush, alive as you or me.
(Bouncy Ragtime musical number playing in the background)
Mr. Bones: “I'm Bones!”
Jeb Bush: “I'm Bush!”
Both (singing): “We're happy and peppy and bursting with life!”
(music stops)
Jeb Bush: “Say, Mr. Bones?”
Mr. Bones: “Yes, Mr. Bush?”
Jeb Bush: “Do you know how I can get elected?”
Mr. Bones: “No, but if you hum a few bars, I can play it on the piano!”
Jeb Bush: “Ah cha cha cha, I got a million of ‘em!”
* silence from the audience *
* crickets *
Jeb Bush: “Please clap”
* more silence from the audience *
*Shepherd's crook comes out and drags Bush offstage*
“Jeb, your 15 minutes were up about 3 months ago.”
LOL!
Jeb’s mic was on, but nobody cared.
Jeb Bush: “Try the whitefish, I’m here ‘til midnight every Tuesday!”
I think he’ll hang around til SEC Tuesday and then fade away.
Yeb!.
Yeb! Bush.
Yeb! Bush the Presidential candidate.
The guy up at the podium there, the one with the turtle in his pocket and the confused look on his face? Yeah, him.
No, he isn't with the custodial staff. That's Yeb! Bush.
Come on, people, feel the surge! That's Yeb! Bush, the next President of the United States.
There, see? That got 'em laughing.
