Jeb Bush’s campaign is calling Dick Tuck to see if he’s behind the debacle he suffered at CPAC 2015.
Gateway Pundit confirmed that Jeb bussed in supporters so it wouldn’t look like everyone in the room hated him (or worse, left). But it didn’t matter, because they booed him anyway.
And they left.
And Slate got hold of the emails from Fritz Brogan telling his K-street astroturf crowd,
We strongly recommend arriving as early as possible to get a seat,” wrote Brogan in an email sent to undisclosed recipients. “Our ‘Early Rise’ team will be there at 7:30am onward helping reserve seats- if you want to join the early team, let me know.”
Brogan wrote that there were still available seats on buses leaving from K Street and Georgetown at noon on Friday to get to the event in time for Bush’s talk.
Sean Hannity should have gotten awkward pay for asking the questions in the Q&A. There was no speech. The Gaylord National Harbor is a nice place, and it would be hard to clean up rotten tomatoes and beer bottles that would surely be thrown were Bush to actually address the crowd.
Score negative ten for Team Jeb.

Good.
Bussing In Supporters
How very..DemocRat...of him.
And may I point out that bussing supporters means kissing them. Busing supporters means transporting them in vehicles.
Bush III for more hope and more change.
Bussing in supporters.
How dare he use the Ron/Rand Paul playbook!
NOT
Jebbish is just a Democrat in an R jersey.
Can’t wait for 2016 so freepers can be castigated and cajoled and threatened to vote for this turd.
He will still lose.
He is this rounds designated loser.
See McCain, Romney
Depends upon who is writing the articles as to which potential candidate did good or bad.

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.

Jeb may have bussed supporters to CPAC, but very few CPAC conservatives were willing to walk out of the hall when Jeb spoke.
I counted 33 CPAC attendees walking out when Jeb went to the podium.
That so few conservatives walked out is disappointing.
Bussing in supporters? Sounds like something a Dem would do.
The ACU has been RINO since Buckley left.
I’m curious to see if jeb will stoop as low as his brother to gain the nomination.
i am hoping we are seing “frontrunner” Jeb implode early
Did Sarah Palin speak there this year?
Yep, they'll come out from under their rocks. "If you don't vote for our precious Jebbie, then you're helping Hillary!"
If Jeb wins the nomination, I probably might just vote for Hillary.
You may point it out but only you and I are going to care about it.
lol
Well, yeah. If we're going to take the slings and arrows for leaving the spot blank, we might as well fill it in for Hitlery.
I ain't voting for him. He obviously doesn't think I'm "optimistic" or "fun-loving" enough so, hey, if he's going to poke us in the eye BEFORE he's in office.....
Thanks, I had forgotten CPAC had become less Conservative.
Sean Hannity should have gotten awkward pay for asking the questions in the Q&A.
+++++
The Moderate Fox News did their best to resurrect Jeb from his performance at CPAC and his views on Common Core and immgration.
They spent most of the time on Jeb as if he was the only speaker...’he was brave to go there’...’there are some good points to Common Core’...’he was right that the fence should be built first’...(paraphrased)
Moderately Fair and Balanced.
