Trump eyeing Bobby Jindal for possible health secretary post
theadvocate.com ^ | 11/9/16 | Elizabeth Crisp

Citing an unnamed insider, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that former Gov. Bobby Jindal is being eyed by President-elect Donald Trump for a potential appointment as Health and Human Services Secretary.

If so, it could be one of the quickest turnarounds from enemy to frenemy to partner in recent political history.

A spokesman for Jindal didn't immediately respond to The Advocate's request for comment. A Politico.com story on Trump's possible cabinet appointees doesn't mention Jindal on the HHS Secretary list. Buzzfeed's exhaustive list of potential appointees similarly makes no mention of Jindal.

Jindal was not very supportive of Trump's campaign so I don't know how true this might be.

There’s a LOT of better people, more loyal and more qualified, out there.

Trump is mature enough not to let personal feelings get in the way of hiring competence.

More important to make sure Jindal is squeaky clean.
Ditto the rest of them. MSM and Dems will be lying in
wait to pounce on ANY hint of scandal.

I like Bobby. Someone must have proposed it. And I would think they discussed it with Jindal first.

People think Trump is this vindictive guy, and frankly, I don’t see it.

You can’t be successful in business being that vindictive.

Ben Carson as the surgeon general or heading up the VA Hospital programs would be nice too.

Excellent point. Your competitor is your competitor, not your enemy.

What connection,if any,does he have to health care and related fields? He's a good man but you've gotta go with experience.I,personally,think that Ben Carson would be excellent for that post.One doesn't become a neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins unless you've got something major going on between the ears.

I thought supportive of Trump even before Trump clinched the nomination.

From Jindal’s Wikipedia page:

“In 1996, Jindal was appointed secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals and in 1999, at age 28, he was appointed as the youngest president of the University of Louisiana System. In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed Jindal as principal adviser to the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.”

I’d like to see Carson at the VA Hospital. He may be able to help some of our guys with brain injuries.

BOR floated HHS Secy by Rudy last night and Rudy seemed to encourage that idea. Of course he’s not going to telegraph anything, and said his preference was to have 3 nominations from his advisors for each post and then he’d make the final cut. So Jindal would logically be in such a group.
