This is from the very conservative Jay Nordlinger over at National Review:
There’s been some comment of late about Bobby Jindal, and I’d like to add some of my own. As I’ve said before, I love the guy — even when he’s pretending to be a populist boob, in an effort to keep up with Trump. (Indeed, the entire GOP primary process may be thought of as one giant boob-off.)
Wait. This is Nordlinger’s party. It’s his conservative electorate. He likes and sympathizes with conservatism and conservative voters. And yet he concedes that the GOP primary is “one giant boob-off.” Doesn’t this say something disturbing about the movement he identifies with?
And by the way, Jindal’s populist boob persona (Bobby 3.0, I think) predates Trump, so don’t blame it on him. Jindal decided all on his own that it was his best chance of appealing to the Republican base.
