Trump has always been mocking Bush, whose campaign has struggled to get traction since last fall.
“In New Hampshire we don’t sign up for people the first time we meet him, sometimes we don’t sign up until the fifth time we meet him”, Bush said, looking back at Bruce.
When pressed, he said “you tell me what the expectations are, and I’ll beat it”.
Bush also says he would “enact smarter sentencing laws” to reduce mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenders, while keeping stiff penalties for “drug lords, cartels and other violent drug traffickers”.
In 2003, Jeb Bush grew frustrated with a Miami Herald reporter, according to emails obtained by The New York Times through a public records request.
Said Bush, “I know that giving states more flexibility will open the door for transformative ideas to eliminate poverty and increase opportunity”.
Taking questions, he was asked about Obama’s speech Tuesday on his proposed executive order on gun control issues, and said he didn’t mind and even applauded Obama for shedding tears during his speech announcing the background check plan, though Bush said it will be deemed unconstitutional by the American court system.
“A quality education, a safe community – a focus on marriage being an element of success, where two incomes exist to provide support for families – and making sure that the incentives exist for work rather than non-work is the way to go”.
“The simple fact is gun violence has declined about 30% when we imposed severe penalties for people committing crimes with guns”, Bush responded, as the woman shook her head.
“Donald Trump has no clue how to be a commander in chief; he has no clue”, the former Florida governor said.
Bush said a leader accepts responsibilities, rolls up his sleeves, forges consensus and fixes things.
With his daughter’s ordeal long past, Bush said he called Noelle this week to seek her permission to discuss its impact on him.

Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush has described his struggles as a father watching his daughter, Noelle, battle drug addiction while in her early twenties. He said young people do it better than older people. It’s a worry that Mitt Romney brought up in a recent interview with the Washington Post, saying “I like Jeb a lot, I think he’d be a great president, but felt he was unfairly but severely burdened by the W. years”. “I mean at what point do we say, ‘Enough of this?'” Many of them, including Bush, will attend a forum combating drug addiction and the heroin epidemic.
