Gov. Jindal and his official portrait.
Jindal would be a great VP choice if Walker wins. Two successful governors who can run against Washington.
Jindal brings a lot the table. Solid conservative. Southern. Extremely articulate.
If that's the question then the answer is "no".
I like and admire Gov. Jindal. But that horrific response to Obama’s SOTU speech a few years ago pretty much took him out of the running.
Guys who cannot articulate a vision (Jindal, Rick Perry) are not going to win.
He’d make an excellent HHS Secretary. His management and waste cutting skills are par excellence.
Simple answer.....NO!
I stand with Ted
Bobby Jindal is singing all my favorite songs. I am giving him a major second look.
Gov. Jindal and his official portrait.
I have always liked Jindal, especially the work he has done on education reform.
Like it or not, people want to vote for charismatic politicians. On a national stage, I’m guessing most voters will think Jindal has the charisma of a soggy sandwich.
He is in my top tier of candidates (along with Cruz, Palin, Santorum, and Pence). I could very, very easily support him.
All these pundits touting Jindal would do well to ask Louisianians what they think of him. His approval rating is far below 50% for a reason, and it’s not just liberals who view him negatively.
Umm, No
Good Lord. We aren’t even over Mike Pence as the uniparty flavor of the week, and here comes Bobby Jindal!
Anyone, anyone but Ted Cruz (gasp!) of Sarah Palin (horrors!)
The natural born citizen issue is always touchy. In the case of Bobby Jindal, Bobby was born in the USA and America’s law makes him a native born citizen.
However, in his case his parents had come to the US only as students. He was conceived in India and born 6 months after arriving in the US. It’s fairly certain that his parents were on student visas. At the time of accepting a grad assistant position at LSU, there is absolutely no evidence that they intended to remain in the US.
My sense of it is that Jindal was also an NBC of India, although I don’t really know Indian law. My sense is that it would reflect British law, and that would lead to a fairly certain guess that Jindal was born an NBC of India.
This is a tough one. The bottom line is that he was born a citizen. He meets the letter of the law. If, however, his parents had been diplomats, I’m not sure he would.
