NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland — Perhaps in fear that he didn’t have enough backers willing to show up on their own, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s campaign organized to bus supporters to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) to cheer during his appearance on stage and vote for him in the straw poll.
The New York Times’ Jonathan Martin writes that Bush brought people in from Washington, D.C.: “Mr. Bush’s supporters organized caravans of his Washington backers to attend his speech, and they cheered whenever anyone else booed,” Martin wrote.
Those same bused in cheerers also will likely be expected by Bush’s campaign to vote for him in the famed straw poll.
Betsy Woodruff at the liberal outlet Slate also obtained emails that prove Bush’s team was busing in supporters from K Street.
“Emails provided to Slate show that backers of the former Florida governor are busing supporters from downtown Washington D.C. to CPAC in National Harbor, Maryland, and organizing to get them day passes into the event,” Woodruff wrote.
One person behind the effort to bus in Bush backers, Woodruff confirmed, was former George W. Bush advance man Fritz Brogan. “A Bush insider confirmed to Slate that Bush’s Right to Rise PAC is helping organize the transportation,” Woodruff wrote.

I guess Jeb has realized that he can't win without us, or by duping us (which isn't likely).
Jeb Bush is a FRAUD and a fan of La Raza & open borders, nothing more and nothing less.
Good, he’ll need to bus supporters to the polls in 2016 also.
The RINO Establishment always has to cheat, just like their Democrat buddies (of course, they’d never cheat to BEAT their Dem buddies, only Conservatives).
Jeb Arbusto.
A$$
Hey, it worked for the democrats.
Jeb Bush is a maggot.
Jebbish will be nominated.
They just need to make it appear he was chosen by voters.
Then he will lose to Hillary in an historic landslide.
“Stay out the Bushes.”
No, Jebbish will not get the nomination.
I brought up this point on another thread and it seems some FReepers were just fine with it and though the walk out us juvenile. Looks like there are more than a few RINOs right here.
“Jeb Arbusto.”

In past years, a Paul ALWAYS won the straw poll— without fail. Bused in? Never got him anywhere.
His speech, mannerisms and look is just like GW. It was like he was a twin.
Pray America is waking

You have next weeks lotto numbers too? Because you are pretending to be a prophet by predicting the future.
You don't know that. You just pretend.
I encourage everyone to look at your sign up date and posting history.

There is very little difference btw the RINO elite and the communist Democrats.
“Looks like there are more than a few RINOs right here.”
Oh, absolutely. I’ve crossed swords with any number of them. They like to think themselves above it all, “the adults in the room,” etc.
