Bobby Jindal ponders skipping next debate
The Washington Examiner ^ | 10/19/2015 | David M. Drucker

Bobby Jindal might withdraw from the undercard debate next week in Colorado.

The Louisiana governor is lobbying the Republican National Committee and cable television network host CNBC to alter the eligibility criteria for the prime time debate. Jindal wants early state primary polling to count, versus just an average of national surveys. Jindal barely registers with voters nationally but is in the top 10 and rising in Iowa, and he could forgo the GOP's third televised debate in favor of campaigning there if changes aren't made.

In an interview Monday, Jindal campaign officials said they concluded that the RNC and CNBC have the flexibility to make adjustments in light of their decision to accede to the wishes of Donald Trump and Ben Carson to limit the debate to two hours, including commercials and opening and closing statements. That runs counter to CNBC's original plan to air a debate that ran longer than two hours and skipped opening and closing statements.

I think they should all skip the debate - they are a total waste of time, IMO. Let the candidates go out and campaign on the stump - it’s more lucrative.

So he ponders skipping a debate to which he will likely not be invited?

If Jindal falls in a forest, would anyone hear it?

Not sure why Jindal is even running. He’s right on almost every issue, but he’s polling horribly.

It’s going to come down to Cruz, Trump, Carson. Until a “sex scandal” brings one of them down-—like Herman Cain.

If it was a lib ticket, it would boost whoever’s #’s.....

Jindal is a good man and a True [in Christ] conservative. America needs him at this time!

I, for one, still remember his disasterous State of the Union response. He is right on most issues but I just cannot see him as a leader after that night and his debate performances have not changed my mind.

I think Trump would be happy to just stop having any more debates. He’s ready to just start voting.

He might as well, considering he hasn’t moved this poll numbers more than a 1/2 point.

And 5 or 6 other less-than-2%-ers should follow him out.

Maybe Apu is finally getting the message that only “Mister Homer” likes him.

No one wants you as President, Bobby. Just go away.

After Jindahl’s “Trump’s a madman and needs to be stopped” idiotic remark and the rest of his nonsensical tirade that day, I wouldn’t vote for him for dog catcher.

If the people of Louisiana only give him a 30% approval rating, how is he going to capture support on a national scale?
