2015 RedState Gathering: on Immigration


Jeb Bush: OpEd: Vigorously booed as moderate, by deep conservatives

Jeb Bush was never going to be the favorite of the RedState crowd. During the convention's debate watch party Thursday night, he was vigorously booed, especially over his more moderate remarks on immigration. But the former Florida governor's high-energy performance Saturday was a marked contrast with his lackluster debate performance, and he was well-received, proof that in his stronger moments, he can engage--if not win over--skeptical audiences.

He tore into Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration over the Keystone Pipeline and foreign policy, messages that went over well in the room, and some in the audience also applauded his vigorous criticism of Donald Trump. He didn't convert many attendees, but he showed he could hold his own in deeply conservative territory.
