"any candidate that's simply kissing up to him hoping some crumbs will drop off his table… is making a mistake." - Bobby Jindal

I LOVE Bobby Jindal!!! LOVE him!
Jindal’s my candidate, always has been. He is a true conservative, fiscally and socially, and he has a proven record of getting things done and battling corrupto-crats while he does it.
The truly astounding post-Katrina turnaround of New Orleans under his administration is a case in point. Business investment is pouring in. The ninth ward is gone, though—Jindal wouldn’t cater to that, and that’s all the drive by media will show us on the TV.
He’s an old school politician who sees himself as a public servant with an obligation to do what’s right over the long term, not what’s politically expedient right now. He refuses to kowtow to poverty pimps. He understands the antidote to poverty is employment. He’s a pro-business, lower taxes guy.
He cancelled the state’s Medicaid contract with Planned Parenthood. That’s huge. He shut down the antiquated, dilapidated “butcher shop” hospitals and replaced them with state of the art modern facilities, while making their economics more efficient and trimming the fat from their budgets.
His grasp of American history and foreign policy—and it’s philosophical underpinnings—is light years ahead of Trump’s. Jindal is brilliant and well educated. He doesn’t shoot off at the mouth. He studies the issues and knows what he’s talking about. He respects our military and law enforcement. Democrats hate him! What’s not to like???
Of course, racists—including blacks—hate him because of his Indian heritage. They call him monkey and raghead. IMO, Jindal’s brown skin and slight stature make him seem weirdly unpresidential, Not Ready for Prime Time, based on stereotypical judgements which we heed at our own peril. We need to forget about looks, or what This One says about That One’s looks. None of that trivial bullshit matters.
Instead we need to LISTEN and EXAMINE THE RECORD of the candidates. IMO if “conservatives” did that, Jindal would be the candidate.
But we’re still letting the liberal media decide our candidates for us. That’s why it’s Yeb vs the Donald.
Jindal’s not a celebrity, he’s got no name recognition; it’s up to us to give him the recognition. We’re falling down on the job, FReepers!!
I’ll hold my nose and vote for Trump if he’s the lesser of the two evils.
But if I were the kingmaker, Jindal would be the candidate.
“He treats any question or disagreement about his vague positions as an attack.”
How was Carson’s comments about his religious life a question about his positions? Which of his views are vague? Care to name a few. Immigration? Trade? Illegal crime wave? Obama competence?
Everything Gov. Jindal said was spot on. Its an indictment of the voting populace to see that Donald Trump is on top of the polls, in spite of the act that he is all blather. Here’s a question for all that deserves an honest answer: Bobby Jindal and Donald Trump in a substantive debate on health care, the economy, foreign policy, education,the environment. Who wins? You all know the answer, but too many don’t want to admit it. Just plain sad.
Bush is happy thanks to Jindal and Carson.
Bobby & Rick should just go grab a burger & beer, call it a day.
The Donald should walk into the next “Kid’s Table” debate and just say, “You’re Fired”.
That is what is happening. This is what they were talking about when we heard there would be an all out assault on Trump.
Ya see, Trump is supposed to shut up and take it now by people who have no damn chance of winning the nomination and no damn chance at all in the general election.
Booby was clever though, he was stealing Trumps thunder and then personally attacking him at the same time.
Another Ahole who is going nowhere.
1. Despite the current polling by the time the general election rolls around his act will have gone cold and voters will look for a serious candidate.
2. If he did get elected, he will be roasted on FR daily because he will govern like he has lived his life; as a liberal.
He’s just being bold! He’s calling it like he sees it! He’s not being PC!
Jindal is emulating Trump who constantly insults and calls names. Trump supporters should be thrilled.
He just lost his 1%.
Because Trump’s face is just sooo beautiful. And that hair….just absolutely gorgeous.
Danke.
“Because Trump’s face is just sooo beautiful. And that hair….just absolutely gorgeous.”
Who cares what Trump looks like. Doesn’t negate what Carly looks like, does it? I’d rather look at Trump for 4 years than Carly. Besides which, and this is just so sexist of female me, I don’t want a female President at all at this time in history. We are confronted by a bunch of misogynist Middle East terrorists and we want a woman for our spokesman? We aren’t talking about any Maggie Thatcher choices here. We’ve got Carly and Hillary, neither of them even close to a Maggie in character or resolve. Geez, you Carly admirers, think.
All of the “views” you cite were either undefined or have been changed. Including those about immigrants. In fact, they’ve been changed several times.
He said he’d spend a billion dollars of his own money to get elected, and he’s obviously dividing it between his private jet travel (that’s why he thrns up everywhere - the other candidates don’t have the money to buy the travel) and disinformation, including flooding sites like this.
But nobody’s allowed to ask him any questions, because that’s unfair to The One, white version.
“But nobody’s allowed to ask him any questions, because that’s unfair to The One, white version.
He gives news conferences almost daily, he is interviewed almost daily — all involve asking him questions. Do you live on the back side of the moon?
The problem
Is that he never answers the questions, or answers them incoherently, or simply attacks the questioner.
