I was going to host a Jeb rally in a booth at Waffle House, but they require three or more guests for booths.
He got a hundred people to show up? Woo Hoo! Let’s hear it for Heb! The next President of Mexico!
I was thinking the same thing.
Yeb! is borrowing from the DNC playbook and busing people in to fill the seats.
Jeb! You are embarrassing your family, your guac, and your country. Please just go away.
Dude.

Homeless people looking for somewhere warm to hang out?
The Yeb! crowd reacts when told there is no free booze.
They heard Yeb was passing out toy turtles. :-)
