Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is willing to vote for Donald Trump in the general election, despite attacking the businessman during his own campaign for president.
According to Jindal, the “stakes for my country, not merely my party, are simply too high.
“I think electing Donald Trump would be the second-worst thing we could do this November, better only than electing Hillary Clinton to serve as the third term for the Obama administration’s radical policies,” Jindal wrote in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal published Sunday.
“I worked harder than most, with little apparent effect, to stop his ascendancy,” he wrote. “I have not experienced a sudden epiphany and am not here to detail an evolution in my perspective.”
In explaining his choice, Jindal said that though Trump is “completely unpredictable,” he is better than Clinton who is “predictably liberal.”
Trump “is certainly the better of two bad choices,” Jindal wrote.
And while the media is poised to reward what Jindal dubs “courageous” Republicans who will do the “right thing” and endorse Clinton, he is not one of them.
“Count me out,” Jindal concluded.
