If he had any savvy, he would have said “That’s a very understandable question and something I’ve given a lot of thought to and...” then debunk her question and assumptions with some well thought-out responses.
He looked like a fool while he was fumbling to try to compose himself.
This momma’s boy is running because momma wants him to.

Which really shows one thing: he hasn’t prepared.
Any candidate who goes through the standard prep for a campaign would have advisers think of all the common “gotcha” questions the media will throw at him, and drill into his head one or more responses for each of those. If Bush is stumbling over such an obvious “gotcha”, then he must not have such advisers, or he is isn’t listening to them.
He probably thought that the race was full of weak candidates and he could coast on name recognition and hasn’t bothered to do the basic prep work.
