Bobby Jindal: President Obama Caused Trump by Being Too Intellectual and Mature

[kpete]

Former Louisiana governor and ex-presidential hopeful Bobby Jindal — fresh off leaving his state in such a disastrous condition that his own (Republican) former lieutenant governor calls his budget policy “mismanagement” and a “Ponzi scheme” — takes to The Wall Street Journal columns today to offer his own novel twist: Obama brought about Trump by being too darn calm and thoughtful.

“I believe that voters tend to act in open-seat presidential elections to correct for the perceived deficiencies of the incumbent,” argues Jindal, “After seven years of the cool, weak and endlessly nuanced ‘no drama Obama,’ voters are looking for a strong leader who speaks in short, declarative sentences.”

This is your fault, Democrats. If you had elected a red-faced, racist bullying lout as president, then Republicans would be reacting today by rallying around somebody who’s intellectual, humble, and non-abusive, and we’d all be in fine shape. But nooooooo. You had to nominate a wonkish, emotionally controlled law professor, forcing Republicans to turn to an unhinged racist reality-television star in response.

3. Bobby Jindal - the governor who left his state so broke

that the newly elected Democratic governor goes on TV to ask the residents of Louisiana to pray for the state and it's elected officials as they are forced to cut critical state programs affecting healthcare, education (including state universities). Yes, even includes football.

See Rachel's video of her March 3 show where she skewers Jindal, Brownbach (KS) and Snyder (MI). All GOP governors who have run their states into the ground.

4. I expect Bobby will be sucking up to Trump in a major man-crush way

Booby wants to be Secretary of something or other, I bet.
