Jeb Bush's reception at CPAC is not going very well. Early reports stated that there would be buses ready to take supporters to stack the room early. Because GOP shenanigans like this worked so well for Mitt Romney, and John McCain before him. From Slate:
It sounds like Jeb Bush’s supporters are taking CPAC pretty seriously this year. 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.
It is evident it was not as effective as they hoped. Boos throughout his talk were very audible.
Jeb Bush told the audience that over time they need to start standing for something again. "It's good to oppose the bad things," Jeb Bush said. "But we need to be start being for things."
Bush was not as vile in his attack on President Obama as Ted Cruz or others. He made the expected comments that President Obama jammed Obamacare, the stimulus, and Dodd-Frank down the throat of America.
Jeb Bush was asked about two major issues that divided him from conservatives, immigration and Common Core. He was booed when Sean Hannity mentioned he supported in-state tuition for undocumented citizens. He said he wrote a book about the issues and suggested that those opining buy his book Immigration Wars to be more informed on his position.
He did not address his support for drivers licenses for undocumented people or in-state tuition. Instead he acknowledged mass deportation will not occur. He accepted the right-wing false tenet of an unsecured border as a method of appeasement that proved successful with the crowd. He steered his Common Core support to his support for vouchers.
Here is the reality. Jeb Bush went into CPAC. Some people walked out. Some people booed. There were a couple of hecklers. But he said nothing to hurt his general election chances.
boy they cheat each other guess it's true no honor among thieves busing in people to cheer for you is disingenuous and first one that does it stacks the perception that they have the approval of the majority of the attendees. it's deception in order to get the band wagon voters on his side but as you can tell by the title it backfired. don't suspect Hannity did himself any good either as he was on stage promoting the last Bush. i felt he was not destined to be the republican "ONE" when he said how proud he was of W and that he was a great president, right wing doesn't talk much about him IMO because they know the truth about his tenure and the first thing Jeb does is bring it up on nat'l TV. could that also be why his mother said "we don't need another Bush in the WH" because she knew he too was prone to saying dumb crap?
