as the voice of moderation in the GOP forget he tried to destroy the Teachers Union and has turned over his State's education system to the Religious Right?

He also rejects the ACA.

He is no moderate, just an opportunistic wing nut. Louisiana is not a model for the rest of the U.S.

Watch out for that guy. He saw the writing on the wall and they are re-writing resumes to make them seem more palatable.

Supporting the new NJ-NY rail tunnel would be a start. If he goes back to his old obstinance, then he's still the asshole he has been.

(15,386 posts)Unfortunately for him, since it doesn't look like the GOP is actually taking any lessons of 2012 to heart and are doubling down on their racism, there is no way in hell after 8 years of Obama, they're going to want to see anything but an old, white man in the Oval Office.
The most he could hope for is to be asked to be the vice-presidential candidate in hopes that they win again in 2020, and he can then run in 2024, if he can show himself going from being a GOP wunderkind to a seasoned politician.
But if the GOP ticket loses in 2016, he instantly become irrelevant, and he's probably screwed himself out of any future possibility of reaching the Oval Office.

(30,058 posts)He has followed some of the same moves as Scott Walker, they surely are not for the lower income workers. This is part of the mean GOP and now Jindal is trying to position himself as something else. Jindal also has a problem of his parents was not citizens of the United States when he was born. The birthers went crazy on Obama claiming he was not a legitimate president because he was not born to two citizens of the US. There is a reqirement of one parent being a citizen but in this case Jindal should not run for the president office, he does not qualify by our Constitution.
