    Oh Jeb. If you have to tell people you’re cool, you aren’t and if you have to ask people to clap, you don’t deserve applause.

      The problem was that people kept clapping and interrupting his speech, so he said he’d give them cues when to clap.

      So when he said please clap he was giving permission rather than begging for applause.

      However, the edited video made it look like he was begging. It’s a bit like the Dean Scream.

        They really did me and Howard dirty, but not as dirty as I did Gore in 2000
