Jeb Bush and Scott Walker Face Off in New Hampshire

(CONCORD, N.H.) -- Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker are two possible presidential candidates who were in New Hampshire this weekend for the same reason: to introduce themselves to voters.

Though there were some similarities in the schedules of the two would-be front-runners, the men received starkly different reactions.

The former Florida governor faced the challenge of not only using his family name to his advantage, but adapting his issues on hot-button topics like the Common Core and immigration to appeal to the Granite State’s conservative voters.

The Wisconsin governor simply had to tell his personal story to motivate his audience.

The enthusiasm that Walker earned at his address to the 2016 Kickoff Grassroots Training Session hosted by the New Hampshire GOP Saturday was missing at the house party held for Bush Friday night.

At the house party, the crowd of roughly 100 invited guests and upward of 60 media attendees packed the home of Fergus Cullen, the state’s former GOP chairman, forcing everyone to stand throughout because there was simply no room to sit down....

Jeez, what is your problem? Everybody knows Walker was in New Hampshire too. With a bigger audience.


How’s that again?

I watched both videos. Walker’s speech is to a much larger room.

Is that really how we’re judging candidates at this remove? Sarah Palin had crowds beyond the comprehension of most politicians and she was only the vice presidential nominee.

As opposed to suggesting that Walker wasn’t in New Hampshire at all?

There is no one who would be happier if Cruz could ignite like Palin did, it would mean there is hope for hard edged conservatism.

But until that happens I’m not throwing rocks at him and I’m going to continue to rebut less than honest rocks thrown at Walker.

BTW, If I were Giuliani I’d be proud that Obama hated me, that would put me in very wide and honorable company.

The question concerning Bush and Walker is this. Which person as president is going to be more receptive to patriots teaching them about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers in the Oval Office?

I’m inclined to think that Walker is going to be the better student.

Yep; Cullen dude is the one who said that Ted Cruz would "never darken our doorstep". He called Ted a bomb-thrower and "everything that is wrong with the Republican Party". He's part of the NH, GOP power-elite. He's sucking up to Jebbie.

Not sure what the message is supposed to be conveyed by the picture you posted to me. But, I will say this: Dude in the chair looks extremely gay.

I believe it.

Bush must be defeated in the primaries and I think he will be.
