Fitzgerald Makes Final Pitch in Houston

LOA today.

You went hard on Education, and the crowd ate up every bite of it. If this was a keynote speech for the Conference, you delivered it in absolute spades. Bravo on all points. As far as the crowd is concerned, this is why you are the Chair. If you weren't running for President before, a whole lot of people are wondering if you're considering it now. This feels like a campaign speech, and they were here for it. You hit every area this crowd wants and demands. Bravo Okay are YOU running for President again? If people look back at this speech, this will be the speech they claim unofficially launched your second election bid for President. The Progressives ate up of all it and are demanding more. Extremely well done Not as strong as the earlier speeches, but an extremely solid and great speech overall. You gave the crowd everything they wanted; who you are, what you and the party have done and what more needs to be done. Well done. Decent solid speech overall. You kept things short and to the point. Final Summary: NetRoots went off fantastically, with the rank and file extremely enthusiastic. All three caucuses of the Democrats were there, so all factions are content with party unity. There is open talk between the factions of whether or not two Presidential bids just got launched here on the floor.

Well done, you've shown the people what you've personally done, you've shown the people what the Party has done, and you've shown the people exactly how THEY helped out. That is the bread and butter, you, the party and them and they loved every second of it. They may have wanted to know a little more about you, as you are the first Republican to topple an entrenched Democrat and are directly responsible for the toppling of another Good overall speech, especially on your personal history, you'll always knock it out of the park when speaking conservative values and the fight to come. What the crowd didn't hear what you've done yet. They appreciate what you're fighting for, and they agree with you, but what does that fight look like, what are you going to do, what has the party done, and what can they do? If you're going to do bullet points rather then the traditional speech, this is the gold standard right here. It covers absolutely everything a crowd like this wants to hear; what you've done, what the party has done, and what they've done, and more importantly how it's helped them directly. You've also made the direct ask to keep the momentum going. Well done all around. It also goes without saying, always a bonus when a politician makes a shout out about where the speech is, and reminds the crowd you know you're somewhere significant.. though they would have been pissed as you are the home time hero ;) Alright you got some cheers for designating the Cartel as terrorists... but why are we talking about Canada? Has Canada done something recently we should be worried about? Didn't they elect that nice Conservative dude? Do we need to start worrying about Canada? Well done all around. You told the people what was wrong, and you told the people how the party is fighting back, you reminded the people that they are more important then ever. Only thing missing for them was what have you personally done, you're the Chair of the Party? Alright so lead us, and tell us why we should follow you into the fire. You've told them how President Van Horn fought for them, what about the rest of the Republicans in Congress? Beyond that, a fantastic speech. Strong and powerful speech that spoke on all the right notes. You knew the crowd and gave them exactly what they wanted. Bravo Echo the comments on President Van Horn. You knew your crowd, you knew what they wanted and you gave it to them. They understand you're the number 2, so they might have wanted to know a little more about you personally, but outside of that, well done. Final Summary: Overall a very well put together CPAC with only a few hiccups. All three factions of the Republicans were represented and spoke, which the crowd likes so they know the party is unified.
