Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s strict avoidance of questions from the press and public has at times bordered on the pathological; how about that time Texas Southern University made it absolutely clear that “there will NO opportunities to interview Hillary Clinton; her speech will be her interview“?
We have to admit, that might not be a bad campaign strategy, especially for someone with a past as riddled with scandals as hers. But is it possible for a candidate to be too available to the public? Someone on Gov. Bobby Jindal’s campaign team should have warned him not to go anywhere near a Twitter Q&A session, but it’s a bit late for that now.
Have questions for Bobby Jindal? Tweet us with #AskBobby and he might answer it at our town hall event tonight.

Predictions for #AskBobby:
1. Leftists comment on his race.
2. Leftists call him racist (and sexist, Islamo-homo-pomo-phobic, etc.).— Andrew Klavan (@andrewklavan) June 30, 2015
How is that President Obama’s #AskPOTUS Twitter Q&A on climate change turned into a lively chat about the NBA in the space of four questions and Jindal ended up with this? At least someone stopped @VP from asking if one can go into a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts in Louisiana without “a slight Indian accent.”
@BelieveAgainGOP My kid's been behavin' badly lately. Could you come over and extract Satan from his soul? #AskBobby

Is the cognitive dissonance of having a biology degree and being viciously anti-science overwhelming?

Are you sending your own kids to a school that doesn't teach evolution? #AskBobby

#AskBobby Since the bible says the earth is flat should we teach that in science class along with the creationism that is already in place?

Are you using the hashtag #AskBobby instead of #AskPiyush because you know your racist party wouldn't elect you if they knew your name?

#AskBobby Barack Hussein Obama ran for the Presidency under his real full name. not "Barry". You ain't Bobby your name is Piyush. Own it.

Is it true that unlike Barack, u were ashamed of Piyush, & to be more accepted by the lily-white GOP bigot base, u invented Bobby? #AskBobby

#askbobby Are you peeved with Jeb for using a fake name that panders to the redneck Republican base even better than your fake name?

#AskBobby Why model yourself after hate-filled white people? There are good ones. Better yet, why not be proud of who you are Piyush?
