FINALLY, A REPUBLICAN STANDS UP AGAINST TRUMP By Ross Kaminsky on 9.11.15 Bobby Jindal is a smart -- even brilliant -- and accomplished man who will almost certainly not be our next president. So he doesn't have much to lose by speaking from the heart.
Speaking at the National Press Club on Friday, Jindal launched the first full-fledged Republican assault on the political tumor that is Donald Trump. The video is a must-watch just to hear someone, anyone, give a lengthy description of the true nature of the current Republican front-runner.
Jindal followed the speech with a fund-raising e-mail which highlights that his speech was "about Donald Trump" and quoting some of his own speech:
"(W)e are flirting with nominating a non-serious, unstable, substance-free narcissist. Nominating Donald Trump is a certain way for us to miss our opportunity to make America Great Again. Summer is over, it's time to get serious about saving our country. It's time to send Donald Trump back to reality TV - it's time to tell Donald Trump - it's been great, you've been great for ratings, you are almost as fun as Don Rickles, the show has been a blast."
And on Twitter, Jindal keeps on pressing: "I said about @realDonaldTrump what other candidates are thinking but don't have the guts to say" and "The reason @realDonaldTrump has never read the Bible is because he’s not in it."
Good job, Bobby. Keep it up. And the rest of you Republicans, grow a pair and stand up more aggressively against the foolishness and bombast that is the Trump candidacy.

If Jeb *Jebito* drops out where do you think his supporters will go?
What is in the mind of a Jeb supporter anyway?
"Yo quiero Taco Bell"
Some of them are sheep. They would go to the next GOPe candidate if that was where GOP management said to go. Others might actually stop and assess the field. Trump or Cruz might get the latter.
And what conservative things has he done?
Walker has proven he can get conservative things done. Jindal has proven he can get conservative things done. Cruz has done amazing considering the party leadership has fought him at every step.
It will be interesting to see how people here and elsewhere in the conservative world would act when he makes a deal with the Dems to get something done when for years we’ve watched conservatives practically screaming for purges any time an elected Republican even considers compromising with the left.
Jindal ... LoL. Hey Fish keep those anti-Trump articles coming.
Whats a jindal....never mind nobody cares.
He hasn’t done anything conservative, because he’s never been a politician or held political office before. But he’s gotten things done in his own line of business. My sense is that he would have the same record of achieving his goals as President.
Not anymore after this LOL
“Donald plays 3-D chess while the rest play Tic-Tac-D’Oh”
ROFL ROFL
When was the last time that could have been said about any Republican candidate?
Looking back I’m glad Donald signed it because this will expose them even more so if they do not support Donald when he wins the Republican nomination.
I agree if they don’t let Donald rip it in shreds on live tv.
same here except Huck, many are saying he is part of the establishment.
Mostly all of my FB are for Trump and second Cruz.
when trump does it. it’s is Pure Genius...an exceptional Moment in Politics...
when anyone else throws down some serious smack at the donnie...its veiwed as being DONALDIST!!
gee go figure
Jindal’s attacks on Trump were absolutely vapid. Jindal sounded like an idiot.
Steve Deace (at great length) and Mark Levin both took him apart.
It was Jindal’s farewell to the national stage.
Only Trump can get away with being Trump. It’s a character that he’s refined and perfected over years, it’s sold him a lot of books and gotten him this far in this campaign.
Others trying to emulate Trump’s approach will fail miserably at it.
Jindal sounded as though he was TRYING to sound like Trump—especially the remark about the squirrel on Trump’s head.
It was: “Listen to this! I can insult Trump! Did you hear that one? Look at me!”
Something is happening here and you don’t know what it is
Do you?
Mr. [Jindal]
What it is aint exactly clear
Jindal is already yesterday’s news and is on his way out as a candidate. Trump is slowly and surely destroying all the GOP rivals one by one.
The only thing the two you mentioned were unable to get done was standing up to the non conservative GOP.
Point is Cruz has gotten nowhere against the GOP. Good guy, but he is a one term Senator so far. He cannot win the Presidential election.
Cruz would have had to win against the GOP Senate. So far he hasn’t.
Don’t tell me Obama was a one termer. Yeah, he was, and look what we got.
