Ben Carson once gently questioned Donald Trump's Christian faith, but on Friday Bobby Jindal went much further. The Louisiana governor explicitly and repeatedly ridiculed Trump's faith, effectively accusing him of faking his Christianity before an evangelical conference that had heard the GOP frontrunner speak only hours earlier. Jindal, who is lagging at 0.3 percent in the national polls for the Republican presidential nominee, came onto the stage at the Values Voter Summit in Washington holding a book. Jindal joked with the audience, saying that Trump -- who on Friday morning held up what he said was his childhood Bible before that same audience -- had left his Bible behind. The punchline: Jindal raised the book for the cameras. It was Trump's bestseller "The Art of the Deal." "[Trump] said that his favorite book was the Bible," Jindal said, later in the speech. "He couldn't name one verse." "Folks, he hasn't read the Bible. You know he hasn't read the Bible because his name's not in the Bible." Many in the audience of more than 1,000 evangelicals laughed and clapped. Jindal received even louder cheers when he described Trump as a "narcissist" who might appeal as an entertainer but would be dangerous as a leader. "We conservatives have a choice," Jindal said. "Are we going to turn to our conservative principles... or are we going to turn to a man who believes in nothing but himself."

Trump is not running on what a good boy he is - he’s running on what a bad boy he is.....and winning!
Get out now Bobby
The governor with the lowest approval ratings in the country has the nerve to run for president. Then finds himself at 0.3%. You’d think he’d kind of get the hint that people think he’s a total joke.
These people never cease to amaze me. Talk about hubris.
Bugger Jindal !
He’s being TOLD to attack Trump , obvious to anyone with an IQ over 30 that Jindal will never win the nom in a zillion years .
how curious that
“America Goes Dumpster Diving”
what a revoltin development
Prisons are full of intelligent people. Jindal just proved that he is a dick. I don’t want a dick for Senator.
“His is not the first time. It is the reason Trump has brought the Bible his mother gave him and his confirmation picture to some of he faith based events”
Bill Clinton used to carry a Bible. He did it a lot, especially during the Monica Lewinsky affair.

Not so, Bobby.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52a
"Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Trump."
There is no way to know what’s in a man’s heart.
There is no way to win with such a charge or is there?
Jindal does the establishment’s bidding and like Perry and Walker before him, sets aside his personal integrity or whatever facade of such he had to knowingly and in full view of the electorate, reveal himself as nothing more than a paid estlishment manwhore.
Trump’s candidacy has truly separated the wheat from the chaff. ...and wow there is a lot of chaff.
ditto
Just read that Jindal and one or two other candidates are next to drop out imminently. Whatever!
You know the guy that'll be ringing up your next slurpee
He’s pathetic. He must think this is the path to VP for a Bush ticket.
Jindal can shoot for president of India since he was born a citizen.
Congratulations, Jindal. You gained attention, but lost respect.
In his speech at the state fair this evening, Mr Trump refered to himself as a WASP and then spelled it out, “a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant”.
