Jeb Bush stumbles into debate night

August 06, 2015 23:58

After stumbling this week, Jeb Bush heads into Thursday's debate facing a key question: Is he ready to run for president in an era when every gaffe can go viral?

Bush's latest challenge came Tuesday when the former Florida governor attempted to slam Planned Parenthood. But he appeared to veer off track when he said, "I'm not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's health issues," referring to the amount of money the federal government pays largely for low-income women's health services.

Bush later said he "misspoke," but the line gave an easy opening to Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, who immediately pounced to portray him as insensitive to the needs of women.

The fumble followed an uncomfortable moment Monday at a forum in New Hampshire when Bush struggled to answer a question about his family's political legacy -- an issue that has repeatedly tripped him up during his campaign.
