Do we know if this was a ‘public’ event?
Many of these ‘summits’ are invitation-only or otherwise highly restricted and have very few ordinary voters attending.
It’s a conference held every four years. Tickets range from $45 - $199.
Regardless of attendees it would be interesting to see how the group voted
with the large number of speakers on hand.

Supposedly there were 600 attendees but when Cruz was speaking it looked like much less to me. Maybe a hundred or so. He gave a really good speech and got a lukewarm reception. I didn’t make it for Walker’s speech but figured he would get a big reception. These were the establishment GOPers in attendance. I’m concerned Walker is the Establishment default candidate. Jeb is just not flying so they will likely get behind Walker. If so that’s who we will get. Hopefully he will be better than I think he’ll be.
