With Scott Walker’s announcement of the suspension of his presidential campaign coming earlier this week, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said he was sorry to see Walker leave the race. At a speaking engagement in Glidden on Tuesday, Jindal told reporters he was a long-time friend of Walkers and had campaigned for him during his election and his recall election in Wisconsin. And when it came to Walker’s plea for the Republican Party to make a shift away from billionaire Donald Trump, Jindal said he supports that. He says he loves the idea of Trump, but reality is very different.
Jindal said he is borrowing Reagan’s slogan about making America great again, but what he really wants is to make Donald Trump great again.
He said, for instance, Trump has told the media his favorite book is the Bible, but he can’t quote even one verse. Jindal said, he hasn’t read the Bible because he is not in the Bible. Trump only reads books that have him in it. As far as Trump’s current position at the top of the polls, Jindal said it is easy to get people’s attention, but harder to keep it when there is no substance.
To be heard, Jindal said the other candidates need to do what he is doing, working hard and putting boots on the ground to talk to as many people as they can about their plans for the future of this great country.
