Jeb Bush hypnotizes 'em in New Hampshire yesterday.


Town hall in Hampton, NH, yesterday


A couple of questions:

1. Why would someone attend a Jeb Bush town hall after having worked the night shift, instead of going home to sleep?

2. Related to above, might this be a paid "rental crowd" to appear at Jeb!s speeches, and that is the reason she attended?


This must have looked so damaging to Jeb!'s handlers that they attempted some damage control:

Mr. "Low Energy" doesn't inspire much.

At least four people have their arms crossed - disengaged, withdrawn, in short not buying it.

Just about everyone in that crowd has the "what did I do to deserve this?" expression.

None of them look like they want to be there. Were they paid to sit there?

If it was Sarah Palin in front of them, the meth fumes would have provided a contact high that would have them all looking just as perky as she does.

JEB seems to have the bearded 20-something guy demo well covered.

Did he have to do a thumbs up photo with every person in the shot? It's not just her that looks like they'd rather be somewhere else- Some of those people have the look of having been abducted and forced to listen to this guy.

That was the rate that Trumpster paid for attendees. I'm guessing that the spawn of Prescott Bush could do as well.

You know, people actually spend their own money to travel to a Bernie site.

I'm guessing Hillary is limiting her public speaking to conserve the stash.

He's really resonating with incarcerated Americans.

The first thing that came to mind was Trump's quip about a JB town hall that was going on not far from where Trump was speaking. Trump asked his crowd "Know what's going on over at Jeb's town hall? They're sleeping - they're sleeping!"
Heck, maybe they WERE Trump "plants"!
