Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who campaigned as an unstinting champion of social conservatives but found himself crowded out by other more forceful, dynamic personalities, on Tuesday abruptly ended his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Jindal, 44, had staked out far-right territory but never gained traction during a primary that’s been dominated by outsiders with similar or more conservative views, particularly Donald Trump and Ben Carson. Jindal noted that the policy papers his campaign had unveiled in recent months, on issues such as energy and education, hadn't resonated with voters.

What will we do...


After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.

Long overdue. Anyone under 10% should drop out. Or stay and help Trump, which is what they are doing.

Jindal picked the wrong year to run as he got run over by the most charismatic Republican to run for office since Ronald Reagan.

But Bobby's only 44 and will have other shots. But he does need to loosen up a little and obtain some charisma.

There are plenty on FR that also slam Trump.

Jindal is a decent guy with good policy positions.

The real question is who will pick up his .5% of the vote in the polls.

I think charisma is something you are born with.......can’t ever see him obtaining even a half ounce of the stuff.

“There are plenty on FR that also slam Trump.

The ones here do not have a national platform.

If you lived in Louisiana, you would probably not think he had good policy positions. The only position he sought for 8 years was the presidency.

He’s only 44? Looks to be at least 62! Years have not been good to him.
