Bobby Jindal throws support behind Marco Rubio

CNN --Former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Friday endorsed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for president.

"Marco can unify our party. His optimistic message is bringing voters from across the party lines, from across different demographic groups," Jindal told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. "He can unify our party. He can win this election in November."

"I think he's a principled conservative. I think he is the right guy to lead us forward," he added.

Jindal, who also was a candidate for president until he dropped his campaign in November, also said he was impressed by Rubio's foreign policy.

"Marco's been consistent about strengthening America's foreign policy," Jindal said. "Marco's consistently stood up to the threat of ISIS, radical Islam."

Of course Jindal favors illegal immigration. After all he’s barely an anchor baby.

“Sorry to hear that. I really like Jindall.”

I never thought he was American enough to be trustworthy.

“The ONE good thing about this election season: It exposes the truth about a lot of people that have been pretending pretty successfully for years.”

And just WHO has promugated that expose? Sure as $hit wasn’t Teddy! We owe Donald Trump a debt of gratitude for exposing this bucket of cocks for what they really are. These shameless turds have been misusing conservatism for half a century. You would think that Conservative citizens would have figured it out long before now, but they still haven’t as evidenced by the nonsense going on here on FR. But hope springs eternal, right? Send Ted over to the chrome shop, then start your polishing in earnest!

Jindel was a faux conservative and the voters sensed it and rejected him. The strategy for the GOPe to defeat Trump is clear. The media will continue to pound him including Fox. The Politicians and the cheap labor express people like Koch and the Chamber of Commerce will endorse Rubio. All in an effort to make sure Trump will not get the majority of delegates. These people think the voters are like sheep and will vote for the candidate they recommend. Will it work this time? Only time will tell.

well, Jindal has proven to be a disappointment as he has left his office in the hands of the Dems.

A sorta what-could-have-been.

What job in the Rubio administration has Jindal picked out for himself as a quid pro quo?

Maybe ambassador to India.

I don’t think the founders intended for anchor babies to be natural born citizens. Apparently you think it would be OK for a child born of a foreign father with no allegiance to the US, raised to dislike the country to be elected President. Mmmm, seems like a bad idea considering The Usurper’s record.

One is NATURALLY a US citizen when one cannot possibly be anything else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Natural born citizen.

So true. I’ll vote for the single payer healthcare candidate instead. Not Sanders, the one who donates to nice guys like Reid and Schumer. And let’s not forget the checks he wrote to that classy broad Hillary.

Trumps explains his changes in positions e doesn't lie about it and explains exactly why he did it because he knows how whores work. Do you? How is your approach to getting things done, working for you?

If you want a politician to do something for you bring your check book. Its been this way since Tammany Hall it hasn't changed and isn't new. The false nostalgia for a more honest day demonstrates a dangerous naivete of our history and human nature.

What makes it different now is the scale and the technologically automated data mining coupled with social media that allows manipulators to manipulate more efficaciously.

Since Ike we have had only one good president. He was originally an actor which compared to a politician is a real profession, Heck that's a real job when filming. At least they know its pretend. The rest have been feckless or crooks.

This election goes down badly the two party (Uniparty more likely) system is dead in upcoming elections assuming they continue.

Of course Bobby Jindal would support M. Rubio. Both are anchor babies, pushing the enveloped for non-Americans to be elected for president. Both are for amnesty.

She endorsed little Marco the other day. The entire GOP establishment in SC has endorsed him except Linda Graham who endorsed Jeb Bush. All their endorsements didn’t do Romney any good four years and Newt beat him going away. I think the same thing happens this year. Trump has been leading for a year in SC and the establishment snobs that control SC politics don’t have much pull. My brother lives in Charleston, knows a lot of politicians and he says none are worth a damn. He especially despises Graham and Scott because he wrote both of them with help on a VA matter and never got a reply back from either one of them. He has no use for Hikki Haley and said from day she has looked out for herself and course less about the state. There was a time when SC had a lot of true conservatives in the GOP. Those days are over. My brother said he really misses Strom Thurmond and none today at fit to be mentioned in the same sentence with him.

I wager 99c that Cruz won’t endorse anybody (in the hopes Trump picks him).

What the hell are you screeching at me for? I’m not a Cruz supporter. I don’t much like any of them but I sure appreciate Trump for exposing the frauds and driving their sycophants insane.

Sadly, that insanity appears to be communicable and has infected some Trump supporters too.

I’ve noticed the trend also with “2nd Generation Americans”.
The less rooted people are with America, the less they give a damn about the country and trying to preserve what is left of it.

If Rubio/Clinton/Sanders gets elected, it’s sayonara America since the brown invasion won’t ever cease until the Ruskies or Norks nuke us all into oblivion.
