Some CPAC attendees plan to walk out on Jeb Bush

Mr. Temple, meanwhile, is a familiar face at CPAC and other conservative events. Sporting a colonial solider private suit and carrying a yellow “Don’t Tread on Me” flag, he said the Republican party and the mainstream media are underestimating the conservative anger over illegal immigration.

He also said he wants a presidential candidate who will reduce the national debt.

“We want new faces. We want younger faces,” Mr. Temple said.

He said the party should nominate the like of Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas or Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, describing them as “true conservatives.” He called Ben Carson a “good guy.”
