I was in Jindal’s corner in the beginning. I only saw him speak a couple of times but he was quite impressive, not to mention his record as Governor of Louisiana.
I was shocked that he tried to bash Trump (at the behest of Karl or Reince I’m sure) on his way out of the race. It was below Jindal to do that.
If bygones can be bygones, I hope there’s a place for Mr. Jindal in a Trump administration. He’s a good man, and he has much to offer.
Interesting that when Jindal bashed Trump (”he doesn’t read the Bible because he’s not in it”) Trump didn’t bash Jindal back, as he did to virtually all of the original candidates.
Did you notice this, and think it odd? He just referenced Bobby’s low poll numbers dismissively, and moved on.
I wondered at the time why Trump didn’t call Jindal a “loser” or worse.
Was it because he didn’t know enough about him to bash him?
Or because he does know Jindal’s solid conservative record, and respects him, and wants him on board?
I suspect it was the latter. Trump being savvy, holding his cards close.
If Trump offers Bobby a cabinet post, would it appease some of the #NeverTrump people? IMO it would certainly balance out some of Trump’s more liberal stances on social issues.
BTW Bobby Jindal’s pro-life stance is real and personal. This man actually helped his wife deliver their son, when the little guy decided to arrive a couple of weeks early. My admiration for the former LA governor is tremendous, for this and many other reasons.
