Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La.) said on Tuesday that conservatives could only win in 2016 by abandoning GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“Sane conservatives need to stop enabling him,” Jindal wrote in an op-ed published by CNN.
“They need to stop praising him, stop being afraid of him and stop treating him rationally,” he said. “Conservatives need to say what we are thinking: Donald Trump is a madman who must be stopped,” added Jindal, himself a Republican White House hopeful.
Jindal argued that Trump is duping voters by seeking to present himself like former President Ronald Reagan on the campaign trail.
“Like a kid in a superhero costume, Trump compares himself to Ronald Reagan, wearing the Gipper’s slogan on his forehead as if he just thought of it,” he wrote, referencing Trump’s frequent insistence that he will “make America great again.”
“But whereas Reagan was a terrible entertainer and a great statesman, Trump is a great entertainer who would be a terrible statesman,” the Louisiana governor added.
Jindal also said that letting Trump become the Republican nominee would virtually guarantee a Democratic victory in the general election next year.
“The problem with Donald Trump is that he will never be president,” he asserted. “His nomination as the Republican candidate would gift the White House to Hillary Clinton.”Failure to speak out against Trump is an endorsement of Clinton.”
“If you want to stick it to the man so badly that you are willing to see Clinton win, vote for Trump,” Jindal added. “But if you want a politically conservative revolution, I’m the guy who can lead it.”
Jindal began assailing Trump’s campaign during a scathing address at the National Press Club in Washington last week.
Trump countered by stating that he only responds to “people that register more than 1 percent in the polls.”
Jindal ranks 14th out of 16prominent Republican White House hopefuls, with less than 1 percent, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average..
Trump, in contrast, commands first place with the support of 29.8 percent of Republican voters nationwide.
Good point.
Hate the sin, love the sinner...:)
That’s his only argument. That Trump can’t beat shrillary. He’s wrong. Trump’s already stealing Hillary’s base.
We don’t need another candidate or President who acts as his money men tell him. We need honesty and integrity even if it isn’t perfect. And only the Lord is perfect anyway.
Trump is indirectly exposing all of the closet RINO establishment types.
Dear God-is this for real?
Well, we've elected conservatives and they've mostly become a spineless mass of goo.
Guess that path doesn't work.
Might as well try something different, don't ya think?
I regret every single kind thought, praise or appreciation I *EVER* had of Piyrush, or whatever his real name is.
Feed ‘em to the tigers in the Indian jungles, with a Cobra relaying observations back to us.
“Donald Trump is a madman who must be stopped.”

That sounds like a threat. Is this nut job from the Punjab kidding?
What if some psycho tries to harm Trump because of these caustic words put out there by Jindahl? No wonder his approval rating is 1%.
Take your odd looking butt back to India, Bobby, and take Nikki Haley with you.
In the sense that these poor schmucks are captive to the overlords of the GOP, I agree completely with you. It just makes me a little sad that people like Jindal almost invariably demonstrate a weakness that could not in a million years stand up to the imperial leaders.
Holy cow, Bobby, how much of a donation did you get for that piece of venom?
It makes me sad too. It really does.
Speaking about a large amount of people, what is the GOPe going to do if they successfully conspire to deny Trump the nomination? A large amount of people will abandon the GOP once and for all.
DANG!
And let’s not forget the American Classic “ Kings Row”.
Has he ever called clinton or obama a madman? It always bother me that “Conservatives” seem to reserve their hyperpole towards other Conservatives but never Democrats
Per Biden, there’s alway work at 7-11.
Methinks the eGOP are filling their Depends like only an elephant can. Then they send out Squeaky Jindouche for a cowardly cheap shot of character assassination that bounced off like a dry spitball. And the target’s retort was a hard slap back as well. Har!
Jindals opportunity to get the medias “ear” just declined “dramatically”
