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."

I did not understand that, not at all. It had to be bad advice from a campaign advisor. Jindal is a pretty reliable conservative, and could've complimented Trump's strengths and weaknesses quite nicely.
It all seemed so snarky and out of character for Jindal.
JMHO
Donald Trump Speech - [non-]Crazy moments 2015 (Funny)and for the libeling broken record astroturf ******-******s:
“I’m so disgusted with the so-called “leader” we have, especially when having to listen to how he “feels.””
Trump never said a word about his how he “feels”. He merely pointed out that he thought that Jindal was a nice person, despite his personal attacks against him.
“If you are born in the United States, regardless of your parentage, you are a ânatural born citizenâ and, thus eligible to be president once you have attained the necessary age.”
Are you being sarcastic? That is not what the amendment says.
Like it or not, Trump/Cruz may end up as the final presidential ticket, for the ‘16 GOP POTUS race.
Well in 12 months you can call him President Trump. Then complain when he cleans this country up and isn’t real nice about it. :-)
“when they respond”?
Jindal hit first.
Trump is such a thinned skinned privileged jerk that it’s hard to know where to begin. Trump has been more than a “little nasty” to his competitors every time he has had a chance to open his mouth. But that’s typical rich boy posing, because “my daddy’s got more money than yours.”
“It all seemed so snarky and out of character for Jindal.”
Maybe not. People think he timed his withdrawal announcement to damage Vitter’s chances Saturday. He would try to help out a democrat rather than a Republican in his tantrum.
I don’t recall Jindal going after Cruz when he bowed out of the campaign. If Jindal had I think you would have seen a different response from Cruz.
That’s because Sen. Cruz isn’t an egomaniacal madman.
The low point of Jindal’s whole life had to be when he made the crack about how Trump “looks like he has a squirrel on his head.” It was out of character, and it was weird and pathetic. It was as though Jindal was trying to imitate Trump, and it was just embarrassing.
Some times looking behind the scene of gracious winners one sees a different perspective. Case in point, George H.W. Bushes book that reveals that he was gracious in front, but behind the scene he carried grudges.
We don't need gentlemen as leaders. We need people who are able to lead. That means not being nice sometimes. Usually the people who are offended by such behavior need someone to lead them because they don't have the motivation to produce on their own.
Saying that Jindal wasn't very nice isn't kicking him in the butt as the door closes. It's not being petulant, just stating a fact. Sometimes facts offend the sensitive of personality.
Jindal suspends his candidacy and...
Cruz makes gracious comments about Jindal and his fight for liberty and the country...
Trump takes a parting shot and comments about how it affects the Donald and his feelings.
I'll side with Cruz, I'm not so interested in the United states of Trump. I hate tyranny, no matter which party controls it!
Do candidates’ names remain on primary ballots even though they drop out of the race?
***************
Good question but I think it is a state by state issue with regards to filing deadlines, etc.
I’m not sure which states if any have passed that deadline. I don’t know the answer but
I’m guessing it has many answers.
Jindal is a conservative. He was already to the point where he was hoping for a political miracle. trump is not a real conservative. So, all-in-all, he had nothing to lose.
I did not understand that, not at all. It had to be bad advice from a campaign advisor. Jindal is a pretty reliable conservative, and could've complimented Trump's strengths and weaknesses quite nicely.I wish Jindal had not attacked Trump
I contributed to Cruz. On first impulse I was appalled that Trump was entering. I have accepted that he is in, that he does have his merits, and even that he stands to win the nomination and the presidency.But it has to be said that there was even criticism of Reagan’s having been divorced by his first wife. We are accepting a remarried candidate without the slightest second thought. (compared to what we have now . . .) And that is just one example. Being proud of gaming the system with bankruptcy is another.
We are so desperate to get back to a normal which does not include blatant con artists in the White House, that a lot of otherwise beyond-the-pale actions are being, and will continue to be, overlooked.
