Thursday could mark the beginning of the end for Bobby Jindal’s increasingly slim presidential hopes.
The Louisiana governor’s campaign reported having just $260,000 to spend at the end of September after raising a little over half a million dollars and spending significantly more than that in the third quarter. It’s a paltry sum compared to his rivals, and if Jindal can’t jumpstart his White House bid soon, he could be headed the way of Rick Perry and Scott Walker, who ended their campaigns when their coffers ran dry.
Jindal’s haul—or lack thereof—was the most ominous signal that came from the quarterly FEC filing deadline on Thursday, which showed that the top two Democrats, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, each raised more money between June and September than any of the 15 Republicans still in the race. (Donald Trump, of course, has access to more money than any of them through his own personal wealth.) Clinton raised $28 million and Sanders raised $26 million. Ben Carson’s rise to a close second in the polls was reflected in his fund-raising, as he led the GOP field by taking in $20 million in the third quarter.

Then who will the Duck Dynasty rednecks support.
Cruz? Trump? Someone else?
Duck Dynasty folks move to Trump. Remember the OK state fair?
Trump is arguably redneck, at least his WWE side.
Jindal should be closely followed by Huckabee, who should have already been preceded off the stage by Santorum, Pataki and Gilmore.
I will kinda miss Huck even though his chance was like unto a snowball.
Ponder this. The man who claims to hate money...
And my debate question tagline was never asked at the first DNC debate.
I think Jindal should be closely followed by Rand Paul, who is my second pick to exit the race.
The CPUSA has run for POTUS since the 1930's
The only difference now is that after being chased into the shadows during the Cold War, they now CONTROL THE DEMOCRAT PARTY
The mockie SANDERS is no Jim Ford, but his VERY PRESENCE ON THE DEBATE STAGE last night proves that A NEW ERA OF McCarthyism is ABOUT TO BEGIN.
Chase these perverted evil scumbags back under the rocks they have crawled out from.
COMMUNISTS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!
DEMOCRATS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jindal (the tool)Out!!!!!!!!!!
I hope not. We need a token conservative in this race. Cruz might shift father left if Jindal drops out.
They only support adulterers.
Trump hates rednecks and the Confederate flag. He’s made that abundantly clear.
Bernies wealthy socialist supporters in Marin County are PROUD...of em.
Ive actually seem a few Bernie...bumper stickers...
I wonder if they pay people to slap em on their bumpers??
Trump hates rednecks? Tell me it ain’t so, that’s most of his support.
It is unfortunate that Mike Huckabee will be most remembered during this campaign not for his legislative proposals, but for his wisecracks. Didn’t he say something about dog food the other day? Mike will also be remembered for having his goon squad block Ted Cruz from boarding the stage during the Kim Davis Victory speech. Petty and vindictive for such a small reward.
I wish him well.
Well the scene is certainly ripe for wisecracks. It’s earned it.
and sports a Mullet
Jindal and Paul supporters will probably mostly go to Cruz. I can’t believe all 3 conservative governors are out so quickly, but at least that just leaves one main conservative (2 if you count Santorum).
