Trump reacts to Jindal's exit: 'He was a little nasty to me'
The Washington Examiner ^ | 11/18/2015 | Gabby Morrongiello

Donald Trump is taking it easy on Bobby Jindal, despite being called an "egomaniacal madman" by the Louisiana governor just two months before Jindal decided to withdraw from the 2016 presidential race.

"[Jindal] was, you know, a little nasty with me," Trump told CNN Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the two-term governor announced the suspension of his campaign during an appearance on Fox News.

"But I think ultimately [he] was very nice," Trump added. "Everyone's nasty to me because they want to get votes."

Cruz’ statement on Jindal suspending his campaign = class

Trump’s remarks = classless

“Shockingly, Donald Trump immediately interprets a new event solely in terms of how it affects his personal feelings”

That is what you just did.

Still don’t understand how Jindal was eligible to be President.

I would suspect it is because Obama was ineligible, yet he is President.

Obama set a PRECEDENT. What is termed in government circles as PAST PRACTICES.

“Compare Trump’s statement to Cruz’s.”

Jindal never went for the jugular with Cruz, like he still does with Trump.

I think Trump was too generous with him.

Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Exactly what I paid for it.

Did you happen to read what Trump said, beyond the headline?

Trump understands that that is all that gets votes - feelings.

I remember how, pre-trump, people on this website used to talk about how we needed to change the emotionalism of the political zeitgeist in this country.

Now we celebrate our very own sack of emotional bluster and whingery, like its a win.

Ever hear of “anchor babies”?

If you are born in the United States, regardless of your parentage, you are a “natural born citizen” and, thus eligible to be president once you have attained the necessary age.

Mike Huckabee farts.

Trump releases criticism about him fouling the air.

Dear God... he’s becoming Chuck Schumer.

I must have missed it when Jindal called Cruz an “egomaniacal madman”.

Not after he is attacked first.

Then he drops the hammer.

Another one bites the dust.

Really. He has been so nasty to everyone and then is shocked when they respond. It is one of the things that puts me off. He seems to have a thin skin for someone who can dish it so easily.

Yes I did but why on earth does Trump feel it necessary to comment on anyone who never made it to the main stage hours after he left the race?

I'm so disgusted with the so-called "leader" we have, especially when having to listen to how he "feels."

I hate to "look forward" to having another one that I might agree with on most items, take to the airways every waking moment to tell me and America how he "feels" either!

I'd like some time away from whining males........it's very unbecoming, IMHO.
