Do Republicans have Majorities in the LA Legislature?
Anyone know why Jindal didn’t Endorse Vitter? Very disappointing that he would do that.
GOP majority in the House, but the delegation is crawling with RINOs.
Jindal hates Vitter with a passion. Vitter is a true conservative, while Jindal always has been a RINO. Jindal promoted Angelle’s candidacy, partly to drain support away from Vitter
See here some conservative analysis.
There are nominal Republican majorities but quite a few RINOS make it really a Democrat legislature, especially I suspect when it comes to popular “revenue” measures. People in LA love trying to tax somebody else. The late Russell B. Long, who never had a serious opponent after his first primary victory, said “Don’t tax you, don’t tax me, tax that fellow behind the tree.”
Jindal has usually been the kind of politician like one of his House predecessors, F. Edward Hebert, who never endorsed anyone but himself. Of course, Jindal endorsed Rick Perry in 2012, but not too much came of that! I think he finally endorsed Bill Cassidy in 2014 against Landrieu but was not excited to do so. A Jindal endorsement would have sunk most candidates this year.
