Support for Jeb Bush among Republicans across the nation has plummeted to only 4% in the latest Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday. Those vying for the presidency move frequently through New Hampshire, where the heroin epidemic has beset this key voting state and, thrust, drug addiction into the political sphere.
Bush’s comments follow New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s emotional speech about drug addiction and rehabilitation at a New Hampshire town hall meeting last week.
At Jeb Bush’s final stop of a three-day, nine-event tour in New Hampshire, there was an awkward pause Thursday afternoon that he filled with his thoughts on fantasy football.
Bush said that his daughter’s addiction began when she was a teenager.
He said he “never expected to be seeing my attractive daughter in jail”.
He proceeded to talk about his own record in Florida; creating drug courts (his daughter went to one) and implementing a prescription drug monitoring program.
He told NBC News that such struggles were the hardest thing he has had to endure. “The simple fact is, at the end of this, people want to know who has the capability to make the tough decisions and the experience to be president, and I believe that, when people start focusing on that, I’m going to rise up in the polls”. “I don’t know what it’s like to lose a daughter, but I nearly did”.
Carl Buchholz, managing partner of the Philadelphia office of the DLA Piper law firm, a Ridge loyalist, and an adviser in Bush’s White House, also was on the list, along with his wife, Karen Dougherty Buchholz, a senior vice president at Comcast.
His frequent answer on the issue is “You got to be pro-life for the whole life, not just for the 9 months they’re in the womb”.
