I'd be a bit more enthusiastic of him as a candidate if I didn't have to hear about his every thought.
That doesn't cost Trump a single vote if he omitted commenting on each and every candidate or event in human history. I would have thought Trump would like to get Jindal supporters but by insulting their candidate of choice, especially those who have supported Jindal with their hard earned money, would be less likely to throw their support behind someone, however legitimate Trump thinks it is, to insult a guy on the way out the door!
Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
You’re spot-on, zerosix.
Exactly what I paid for it.
Did you happen to read what Trump said, beyond the headline?
All two of them.
“Sometimes Trump could just shut his mouth.
I’d be a bit more enthusiastic of him as a candidate if I didn’t have to hear about his every thought.”
Somebody asked him, so he answered. I guess he should have taken your feelings into consideration and created a safe space for you from his comments.
Here is some of what Jindal said:
"...he looks like he's got a squirrel sitting on his head...," Jindal said... Jindal was the latest candidate to come out swinging at the Republican frontrunner Thursday, saying in a speech at the National Press Club that Trump is "absurd" and a "non-serious carnival act.""Donald Trump is shallow," Jindal said. "Donald Trump is a narcissist and an egomaniac...like all narcissists, Donald Trump is insecure and weak, and afraid of being exposed." He spent several minutes explaining his thesis.
This is what Trump said when Jindal folded (in the above article at the link):
"[Jindal] was, you know, a little nasty with me," Trump told CNN Wednesday, less than 24 hours after [Jindal] announced the suspension of his campaign... "But I think ultimately [he] was very nice," Trump added. "Everyone's nasty to me because they want to get votes."
Explain to me then, zerosix, how are Trump's remarks nasty, especially in comparison? He just stated the facts of the situation.
“I would have thought Trump would like to get Jindal supporters but by insulting their candidate of choice, especially those who have supported Jindal with their hard earned money, would be less likely to throw their support behind someone, however legitimate”
You mean the 2 or 3 people out there who were for Jindal?
It's the difference between a patriotic showman, and a patriotic statesman.
