Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is making a final push in New Hampshire with a new ad of him talking about his daughter’s drug addiction at a town hall last week.
The 60-second ad, which debuted Wednesday, is a part of a $6.4-million ad buy for the final weeks of the primary campaign season, according to WMUR.
The ad shows Bush talking about his daughter’s drug addiction, which happened when he was serving as governor of Florida. Opiate and heroin addiction have become important issues to voters in New Hampshire.
“And I have personal experience in this as a dad,” Bush tells attendees of the Jan. 5 town hall. “My daughter, Noelle, was addicted to drugs. Today, I called her to tell her I was going to talk about her in this public setting. It’s not easy to do. And she said, ‘Go. Do it. I want to help.’ “
The New Hampshire Republican primary is Feb. 9. Real Clear Politics has Bush in sixth place with 8.7 percent support in the Granite State.
Here’s the ad:
Have great compassion for the struggles that his daughter has faced - but JEB! - this was 60 seconds of ZERO substance - total blah, blah, blah - and no ideas
Translation: “Try to forget that my brother left the country in smoldering ruin. You need to find out how much more damage one family can cause. Vote for ME!”
Bush sounds desperate to me at this point. He is. Laughable vapid dolt he is. He has no idea he’s made a fool of himself. Then again, he only relates to the 1%, in their own bubble destroying all of We The People, the nation, and the planet.
This was interesting. Jeb is trying to show he’s a (ahem) compassionate conservative. A caring, emotionally concerned man.
Which is baloney. He’s using his daughter. He tells the story, but just listen to the narrative and watch his face and demeanor. He’s detached from it; he’s like a reporter telling a story on a news cast.
I actually dislike this guy.
How long before we have a new Trump ad:
Counting down from 4… 3… 2…
