Dozens of CPAC Attendees Walk Out on Jeb Bush
National Review Online ^ | February 27, 2015 | Ryan Lovelace

Posted on 02/27/2015 12:15:43 PM PST by C19fan

Scores of CPAC attendees began to file out as soon as Jeb Bush started speaking with talk show host Sean Hannity this afternoon,which did eventually garner plenty of applause. After exiting the main auditorium at the Conservative Political Action Conference, the protesting attendees began chanting “USA, USA” and “Stand with Rand.” Despite the sign of defiance, the main ballroom was as packed for Bush’s talk as it had been for any other 2016 contender, including Scott Walker and Rand Paul. Bush’s comments attracted cheers from some parts of the ballroom, which was more packed than it had been at any other point in the conference, but was also punctuated by occasional heckles, including shouts of “Open borders!”​

Pretty juvenile if you ask me. Rand Paul’s flock I guess.

This was predicted.

The GOP-e retaliation against conservatives starts in 5, 4, 3...

I don’t know. CPAC is supposed to be for conservatives. Bush speaking seems like it would be a good time to take a break. It is not like they missed any conservative thoughts being shared.

I’ll use my “walk out” on election day should Jeb be on the ballot.

Heck, may as well go whole-hog corrupt and inept and let the Hillabeast win.

Let’s face it, CPAC is attended primarily by political hacks. To view the wares of the vendors, who are political hacks. Accompanied by thousands of college kids, who are, unfortunately, mostly political hacks-in-training.

I don’t care what position Jeb takes, or what he says now. He already has his track record, and he embraces his family political direction via the advisors he has chosen. I don’t want a president who speaks Spanish at home with his Mexican wife, and who embraces all the Bushes stand for, and common core, and gay marriage.
I won’t vote for him, period. Fair, unfair, no matter who his opponent is. The Bush family wrecking crew has hurt us all the way back to Reagan.

Final answer.

I assure you all, if Bush is selected for the GOP, I will not cast a vote for President in 2016.

Why do you think it's juvenile? Or are you just basing that on liberal type 'feelings'?

Let’em try. They’re spineless pussies, and don’t intimidate me.

Lots of people working for the new world order or what ever you want to call them will say anything to get their hands on power. You can vote for him if you want but I have been suckered in too many times. I am voting for Sarah.

If Jeb is nominee I will not vote for him since Hillary is going to win anyway. The best strategy for conservatives is to pick one candidate and get behind them or we will get Jeb.

I have also noticed a lot of hit pieces on Walker since he is leading most if not all of the polls. Don’t take the bait to pile on. They see him as a threat for sure.

Jeb Bush is not conservative. He does not belong at CPAC. It showed. He was as nervous as cat on a hot tin roof. It looked to me like Jeb’s machine had packed the room with a bunch of bus ins. They just looked too excited.

Jeb has no chance to win a general election. Even if you agree with his progressive policies.

Let the people speak up and express themselves. Now is the time, before we get into the tall weeds of the campaign season. Jeb needs to leave his security bubble enough times to see that the average conservative does NOT want what he wants. Maybe Jeb belongs in the independent party, which does not yet have a definite public face.

If I had been there, I would have walked out with them.

I don’t believe they should have listened docilely to that liberal just so they could rack up politeness points.

He has proven he can beat the best they had to throw at him. The fact that he has won 3 elections in 4 years with the rats and unions thowing everything at him can not be ignored.
