Morning Examiner: Jindal rising

Plenty of conservatives have offered their opinions about what the Republican party should do in the wake of President Obama’s reelection. But none seem to be getting as much traction as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.

First, in an interview with Politico‘s Jonathan Martin Monday, Jindal said Republicans must “stop being the stupid party.” “It is no secret we had a number of Republicans damage our brand this year with offensive, bizarre comments — enough of that,” Jindal explained. “We’ve got to make sure that we are not the party of big business, big banks, big Wall Street bailouts, big corporate loopholes, big anything. We cannot be, we must not be, the party that simply protects the rich so they get to keep their toys,” Jindal added.
