Poor Jeb Bush; the Republican presidential contender had to tell the audience of a New Hampshire event when they were supposed to clap during his speech Tuesday.

The New York Times was present at the event, and reported on the embarrassing moment:

Speaking to a crowd at the Hanover Inn near the Vermont border during his final stop of the day, 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, sounded defeated.

The crowd obediently clapped.

It’s the only way to save Tinkerbell.

He is just pathetic...and boring.

[euram]

I think his pocket turtle is gaining on him.

[ifinnegan]

Good one!

Excellent in fact.

[sparklite2]

That’s pathetic.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Here’s what I won’t do as commander in chief to protect the country...

[Robert A Cook PE]

He’s dead Jim.

[Goldsborough]

Lol. Jeb? might have had a natural reaction from his crowd, but he just kept rambling so that no one had any idea when he’d actually stop so that they might applaud him had they felt inclined to.

I want Jeb! to stay in the race and continue to draw votes from Amnesty-gimp Rubio.

Click your heels together Yebby, and tippy toe,tippy toe and say “there’s no place like the beltway...there’s no place like the beltway “

This is why his own mother did not want him to run.

She knows her son’s limitations...

I have 3 daughters - one is in aerospace engineering at RIT - I know shoe will do great at it. I know my other two daughters would be terrible at it, so I encourage them to do the things THEY are good at.

Jeb reached the max of his potential as governor.

[Mr. K]

"It's the only way to save Tinkerbell."

Ding~! Ding~! Ding~! WE HAVE A WINNER

[Right_in_Virginia]

OMG...that’s funny!! LOL!

Tinkerbell? That works....and it is embarrassing....Tinkerbell is a good man and ought to go home.

[definitelynotaliberal]

Geez, how pathetic! I almost feel sorry for him.
