Bobby Jindal is trying really, really hard to troll Donald Trump. It’s not working.

You know you’re losing when Donald Trump stops responding to you on Twitter.

That’s the situation facing Bobby Jindal, the Republican governor of Louisiana, who is currently tied for 10th place in the GOP presidential field.

Jindal is on a desperate mission to troll Trump by whatever means possible. Television hits, interviews, speeches, social media — it’s all part of the playbook to boost Jindal’s visibility in the early states where Trump is dominating the race.

As you might expect, it’s a tough climb. Jindal received only 1 percent of the vote nationwide in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll of Republican-leaning voters. That puts him on par with Rick Santorum, Chris Christie and Rick Perry, who left the presidential race on Frida

Jindal was on Fox with Greg Gutfeld this weekend trolling the best he could as the zero percent candidate.

Like has been said on the other threads, it is just not him and it does not work.

Jindal had the chance at keeping his dignity, if nothing else. Baffling judgement on his part.

Bobby’s biggest problem is he is just too ugly to resonate with people. Outside looks do matter. I never ever tried to get a date with a particularly ugly girl, and most men and women do not either.

They’re all trying to bring Trump down to size.

Candidates with zero national support.

No wonder Trump can insult them and get away with it.

It’s like a guy in a canoe trying to sink a battleship by banging into it as hard as he can.

They’re like flies buzzing around the elephant.

Can you move an elephant?

The only guy who can derail Trump is Trump.

Pathetic. You were respected, even by the people who didn’t support you.

I’m actually embarrassed for the guy. I’m pretty sure he’s been put up to do this by the powers that be. And the joke’s on him.

So WaPo admits it doesn’t give a flying fig about reporting about what the Republican candidates have to say. They are only interested in reporting the pissing contest aspect of the campaign.

Like I said when he started attacking Trump, he got one day of publicity on cable news, and now it’s done. He’s probably out of money and hoping some PAC will donate. Or maybe someone already paid him to attack Trump.

Trump is a brand.

People say Jindal, who?

I doubt any one outside Louisiana knows much about him - or cares about his record as Governor.

He’ll never be the GOP nominee.

is Haley Barbour and sons advising Jindal cause his attacks on Trump is stupid during a primary. Emulate Ted Cruz and stay above the Trump bashing

I think that several more will be out by weeks end after debate II, including Bobby.

Like Perry and several others, Jindal is a nice guy, qualified enough, but who has failed to launch. He may as well go home now and save his donors' money. Same goes for Paul, Gilmore, Christie, Pataki, Bush, and the woman from HewlettPackard.

If he’d have shut his mouth, he just might have made a half-assed decent VP choice.

Not no mo’.

The point is that Donald knows better than to respond to every one. He responds to those that matter. The fact that he is getting no response is the worst possible outcome for Jindal.

He knows it and so does Trump. That is why he is silent about the attack besides a vague ‘they attack me, whatever.’

Bobby is really trolling for a job with the GOP after this is all over. His campaign is probably already in debt. :)
