First, he attacked Democrats. “The left doesn’t trust the American people to lead our lives,” he told conservatives in West Columbia. Then he attacked other Republicans: “They need a spine,” Jindal told TV cameras.

Then, after a day of throwing political bombs, he flew to Greenville and bemoaned the lack of Christian love and charity in American life. “We’re at a moment when we need spiritual revival again,” Jindal told a group of pastors.

Jindal’s problem is we already have 2 front runners...

Walker & Bush.

And further, there are very good candidates in the ring...

Walker & Cruz.

If Hillary wins in 2016, Jindal will have a better chance in 2020.
