Discuss! Just kidding, no one cared he was running, I doubt anyone cares he's gone. But, he was the first and only candidate for president with the first name Piyush. barfo
I remember when Obama was being touted as the next big thing and Republicans were like, "you like Obama? You'll LOVE Jindal!" Nobody loved Jindal.
That video is weird. We're watching his announcement to run for President through a surveillance camera, is it? With science fiction movie, other-worldly vines and roots hiding the Great Man as he makes the Great Announcement under the giant pillars of his humble abode? And he's asking his kids to agree? It needs scripted laughter and revelry. Couldn't the wife at least have shown some life, if the kids wouldn't?
Colbert is doing a recurring segment on the Late Show based on the Hunger Games that is amazing if you haven't seen it. Every time a "tribute" drops out he does one.
I thought Jindal was great before this campaign. Super smart, policy wonk, great ideas, innovative. He tried to apply a patina of false outrage to his campaign and it just wasn't authentic. He'll make a great HHS Secretary in a Cruz Administration.
I think they go for Cruz or perhaps Santorum. If you supported Jindal, you were likely someone who cared about policy, Constitutional restraint and were a cultural conservative. Trump's base is all about outrage; they don't really care about conservatism.
For you historians a thousand years from now, the original thread title was, "Bobby Jindal drops out." I want your thick biographies of him to be accurate. You will want to put the chapter about this thread right after the many chapters on how unpopular he is in his own state, now that they've sampled his policies.
Ted Cruz is a fucking buffoon. He won't sniff the Oval Office. Understands the Constitution... Hilarious...
http://www.bestofneworleans.com/gambit/next-to-nothing/Content?oid=2598599 Jindal takes credit for that letter which embarrassed the Republicans. And I'm reading, in Republican sites like RedState, that they blame the local voters' dislike of Jindal for Vitter's loss yesterday.
Maxiep, you made my signature this week. I even changed "that" to "who." (You know this, but for the benefit of everyone else, it's the middle one.)
