Did people walk out when Jeb Bush started speaking at CPAC today in Maryand? Sure. Did he get heckled and booed at times during his q and a with conservative commentator Sean Hannity? Sure. Did Bush more than hold his own with an audience that was ready to embarrass him in front of every national reporter in the country? Yes.
Bush was energetic -- maybe due at least in part to nervousness in facing a testy crowd -- and informed. He refused to back down -- particularly on immigration -- from positions that he knew would be unpopular with the crowd. He insisted that Republicans were good at opposing things but bad at "being for things." He was composed. He was up to the moment. He looked, in a word, presidential.
By contrast, the opposition, which had promised a major walkout when Bush entered the room, seemed to fizzle. Check out this video of the protests -- and count how many reporters there are versus how many actual protesters there are.....

Did you see the part when Hannity said, “I have a special question for you”, and Jeb smirked and replied, “Briefs”?
I almost threw up. I do NOT want to hear that fat toad talk about his underwear.
I know! That's the part I thought was so rehearsed it was just awkward. The look on his face came across to me as a smirk. He was just trying too hard. I had to change the channel.
ugh...this guy is an MSNBC regular contributor
He smirked the whole time. The guy can pretend he has a personality all he wants, but it’s not working.
I agree. I think he’d poll better if he just hid out the entire campaign.
I will NOT vote for Jeb Bush.
He insisted that Republicans were good at opposing things but bad at “being for things.”

Jeb is a Unicrat favorite.
The Republican base is for things like being able to keep their doctor when they like their doctor, and generally oppose policies that are bad for our country and freedom.
Get lost Jeb.
I wouldn’t vote for you if you were the last Republican on Earth.
America is rapidly becoming “some other country.”
