Playing questions on how he hoped to be elected president when he polled behind Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton in his own state, Jindal replied by saying he had already won two landslide elections in Louisiana and explained his unpopularity provoked by his need to do what was right for his state, even if it meant to go against his people.
He further said he would try to repeal Obamacare, undo “sanctuary cities” for illegal immigrants and put extra protections in place for religious people. “Simply expanding Medicaid doesn't improve healthcare outcomes,” he said when asked why he hasn't accepted extra federal money for the programme in Louisiana. “I don't think anybody should expand Medicaid.” Later returning to familiar theme, he accused President Barack Obama and Clinton of dividing the country and that he was sick and tired of hyphenated Americans and the US must insist on assimilation by immigrants.
