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.
Thanks for taking the time to write your post. Glad to get confirmation that Mr. Jindal is a good man; one of us.
I didn’t notice that Trump had no real response to what Bobby had said, but I would tend to agree that your take on why not is the correct one.
Let’s hope Bobby Jindal ends up holding a key position in the Trump administration. We need him.
