The only people really nervous are the GOP elites. Thay are not used to fearless conservatives. Also Jindal has never said anything against Soccer Moms, Latinos, African-Americans, Native Americans, The Handicapped, The Young, The Elderly, The Native Americans, The Asians, Women, Evolutionists, and Middle-of-the-Road Independents.
At least I have not seen any tirades from Jindal of above groups. If you have some links, I would be happy to read and educate myself. I read a lot, so it would not burden me to read your links.
Well of course he hasn't. But because he's a conservative, the GOPe fears it will be believed that he did. The voters will also receive frequent reminders from the MSM. As if that were not enough, the namby-pamby GOPe candidates will echo the MSM in the primaries, too!
Joe Biden said that "if the Republicans get elected they will put the chains back on black people." The RNC lives in mortal fear of such stupid statements from the Left and faithfully reported as "news" by the MSM. That is why the very existence of a Cruz ... or a Jindal .... is anathema to the Republican establishment.
The Established Republican Party, as you can see from the present Congress, wants no part of governance. They want no controversy, no matter how mild. What they want is to keep their place as the loyal and extremely well rewarded opposition.
