Good luck Bobby!

Well, that makes bobby look like a substantive man

Not

I like Trump’s hair. But the funniest thing ever is the “Cats for Trump” pictures that have cats wearing Trump hair. Ah...who cares about a candidates hair or even looks? I don’t. Zero is as homely as they come and scary skinny. But that isn’t why I don’t like him.

[Ciexyz]

Any respect I had for Jindahl is now nil.

[Williams]

Freepers have become a bunch of overly serious doody heads. I sure thought Jindal is a reliable conservative. Let him and Trump have some fun in the mud.

Ole Bobby'sbeen given his marching orders by the GOPe to attack the Donald.

Nah. All these guys who don't seem to have much of a chance now started planning for these campaigns two, three years ago. Back then, they either saw a way to win (Walker, Rubio, Perry) or a seasoning race that will either give them consideration for VP, or credibility on a subsequent run (Jindal, Huckabee, Fiorina).

This idea that the GOP-E went out to recruit a dozen candidates for no real gain on their end does not pass the Occam's Razor test.

In 1980 there were at least seven serious Republican candidates for president. The large slate actually helped Reagan, as all except Phil Crane ran to his left (Bush the Elder, Howard Baker, Bob Dole, John Connolly, John B. Anderson). That said, it doesn't mean that the GOP-E won't attempt to take this turn of events to benefit their preferred candidate(s), they'd be foolish not to. But what you don't have in Reince Priebus or someone from Right to Rise calling Gov. Jindal, suggesting he attack Trump to help the GOP-E.

No, Jindal is low enough that he is trying to get some coverage. Normally, these types of attack don't help either side, but some uninvolved third party. Jindal's lost votes areen't going to John Ellis Bush. Some might go to Cruz (similarity of positions, intellectually oriented, religiously conservative), some to Walker (a successful governor not named Bush), some to Rubio (a non-WASP, young fellow with new ideas). One does not pick Jindal accidentally, or because of lack of information on the issues. Some people pick Jindal either because he had the best slate of positions, they like his work as governor, or perhaps even because they identify with his Indian heritage. Those reasons don't translate into John Ellis Bush votes if they are undermined by poor campaign performance.

Anyway, after two or more years of planning, and promising your financial backers that you are in it to win it, dropping out befre the money is gone isn't gonna happen.

So you do something. Anything. He decided to go full throttle after Trump, and will be happy if there is fall-out, and he gets some of the crumbs. At least enough to get away from the kids card table debate before Iowa and have a chance to be competitive for he SEC primary on March 1.

Trump looks like he’s got a squirrel sitting on his head

Not true. It's more like a weird chicken.

These new Trump bashing candidates should have learned from the earlier Trump bashers, Perry and Graham. First, it boomeranged on them, and second, you can only say so many insulting things about Trump until you’re also insulting his supporters, who now amount to 30% to 40% of Republicans polled by various organizations.

[Kirkwood]

I would take that as a compliment. Squirrels are very clever and don’t take crap from anyone. They are also loaded with personality.

[SunLakesJeff]

Jindal looks like he should have been an extra in "You Don't Mess With the Zohan".

Works both ways, Governor.

[tumblindice]

There's a lot going on with Trump's hair. 4 things to be exact. I've got double crowns, cowlicks, a widows peak and a top coat and under coat, like a terrier.

[Reno89519]

So, Jindal’s only attempt at relevance is to attempt to out-Trump Trump? Pathetic. He should have quit with dignity as he is not Trump and it comes across as desperate me-too-ism. Jindal was a loser, now confirmed.

[Ghost of SVR4]

imitation is the greatest form of flattery. The “field” is now trying to take on Trump’s in your face stance only Trump has been like that for years; the johnny come lately’s simply look like imitation jokes. Save Cruz and Carson, this primary is over. It’s just a matter of moving the deck chairs around the ticket.
America has been subjected to pansy politicians for far too long and we want someone who will kick another in the teeth; especially when it comes to DC insiders. Think Patton; Americans, Real Americans love a good fight. Trump brings that to the table at warp speed. All he has to do is rally Americans to kick their rep’s in the teeth and get Gov’t off our backs and watch this country explode.
I don’t like all of Trumps positions but he does not strike me (at this stage in life) as one who want’s to see an American on dependence of the government. The guy strikes me as the type who will help clear the path and if you cant make it then? He will ridicule you, deservingly so.

Used to like Jendall. Now, not so much.

It’s officially ‘The Silly Season’ now...

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

He is going to need it for sure.Bobby has bet on the wrong horse imo.

[montag813]

Hey Bobby, can you refill the Ice Blue Slurpie flavor?

[CharleysPride]

We know it’s not a daemon up there — Bobby would have Cast It OUT!

[kanawa]

Sad, he’s abandon principle for the promise of power from the GOPe.
Probably there all along, better that it is known now than not.
