Ok, so watching the Kid's Table debate, the first thought is that despite all the wailing about how it's no fair to relegate Christie and Mike Huckabee to the Kid's Table, this is belied by how boring this debate is so far.
Chuck Todd was trying to tell us earlier that the main debate-notice I am not referring to the main table at the GOP debate as the Adult's Table, as whoever is an adult in the party left long ago-was going to suffer from the loss of Christ Huck.
If these guys are so exciting they would have spiced up this debate which sure hasn't happened yet. The only rich part so far is Jindal claiming that he's the one Governor running who has this great economic record of cutting taxes, cutting regulations, cutting debt, and growing the economy.
The reason I italicize these words is that if you digest them you have no reason to watch the Kid's Table debate at all-this is more or less the answer from every candidate to every question. And of course, that Hillary is a Communist or something.
Jindal though has given us some comic relief with his boasts.
"Bobby Jindal took a tough question in the 7 p.m. undercard debate about his home-state record from the Fox Business moderators, and launched quickly into his talking points about how Louisiana had prospered under his tenure."
"We’ve had 60 months in a row of consecutive job growth in our state," he said. "We’ve also got one of the fastest growing IT sectors."
"Meanwhile, he’s being simultaneously savaged by his own party back home as the state’s voters prepare to elect a governor to succeed him."
"Democrat John Bel Edwards, who’s currently leading in most polls ahead of the Nov. 21 runoff election, has ripped Republican nominee David Vitter as representative of a third Jindal term. But Vitter, who’s battling the reemergence of a decade-old prostitution scandal, has no love for Jindal either and has regularly ripped his economic stewardship."
"Now, Louisiana has fallen on hard times: budget crisis, low wages, failing schools," Vitter says in an ad unveiled earlier this week. "You know me: I'm a fighter. And as your governor, I'll get up every day to fight for you for a much better, stronger Louisiana."
"In turn, Jindal has declined to endorse Vitter’s candidacy, though with Jindal’s favorability in the basement, it might not help him much anyway. Vitter has ripped Jindal’s fiscal policies as “horrible” and Republicans have made him a punching bag for focusing on his long-shot presidential bid rather than the state."

I know the moderators are scared to ask gotchas but this is the real question for Jindal. If his record is so phenomenal why does his own party back home consider him such an embarrassment?
P.S. Santorum just defended opposing the GM bailout because he's a 'capitalist not a corporatist.
But while he takes away with that hand he gives back with the other by declaring that he's the only Republican running who supports the IM-EX Banks.
