We are unsure whether the “480” figure quoted in our story actually refers to tickets sold or the number in attendance. The 2014 event featured Marco Rubio and claimed “630.” While that year reportedly set a record out of four or five previous, this year was down 24% from that. From our recollection speakers in past years included George Pataki (2009) Mitt Romney (2010) Rick Perry (2011) Scott Brown (2013). All “acceptable establishment” candidates, or those somebody was trying to wet nurse.
