Bobby Jindal: Americans Ready for Outsider to Make 'Big Changes'
Bobby Jindal,Republican Party,Conservatives,Politics
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says he's still a few months away from an announcement about his potential 2016 presidential campaign, but the Republican state leader told Newsmax TV Thursday that he's convinced Americans want an outsider to come in and "make big changes, not incremental changes."
"We need a president who wants to do something, not be somebody," said Jindal, in an interview with "MidPoint" host Ed Berliner before his slated appearance later in the day at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Jindal said he has spent the past year with a group, America Next, to discuss policy on healthcare, education, energy and more, and admits he's biased toward a governor becoming the next president.
