5 GOP candidates who should follow Jindal out the door
The Hill ^ | November 18, 2015 | Eddie Zipperer

Posted on 11/18/2015 8:28:28 PM PST by detective

A good looking Indian-American governor decides to run for president. He's a Rhodes scholar. He’s the first Indian-American ever to run for the nation's highest office. If he'd been a Democrat, they'd have cancelled the primaries and declared him the nominee. He'd have had so much press coverage that the national news media would have gone into full TMZ mode and the average person on the street would know that his given name is Piyush.

//Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (Ark.): If you’re an evangelical Christian conservative who likes unapologetic, fiery rhetoric, you probably like Huckabee, but you probably like Republican candidate Ben Carson more.//

I am “ an evangelical Christian conservative who likes unapologetic, fiery rhetoric” and I can’t stand either one of them.

Fiorina should be on the list.

It is funny that the writer somehow thinks that these 5 dropping out will somehow stop Trump. It wont.

Those 5 according to the article...

Bush, Christie, Kasich...yes they should be gone...

Paul and Huckabee...not yet...they still have something to add to the debates..

I guess Rick Santorum and George Pataki should keep fighting the good fight

This makes one go back and wonder at the beginning of this circus....with seventeen-odd characters running...if it wasn’t more of an attempt to dilute the vote and ensure that Jeb rose up with fifteen state wins and just casually walk into the convention with the superdelegates all jumping in and giving him the win.

I’d say at this point....other than Rubio and Cruz taking two or three states each...Trump has the episode finished, and Jeb will be lucky if he can win Florida.

What about Gilmore?

The man is invisible. Is he still in the race? If he is, it is time for him to pack it in.

What about that Gilmore guy, or whatever his name is. Is he still around? Him and Lindsey Graham are tied, I think.

Interesting article. Jindal gets my vote easily.

Huckabee gets my rejection. He is the main reason Obama won in 2008 by highlighting the Bible and downplaying Palin.

Tump and Cruz are in my daily prayers.

I like Jindal. I liked Walker. However, neither of them got people excited. I can’t stand Huckabee and Jeb (never could).

Sorry for Him, but Florida will go for Trump, big time.

People need to stop worrying about how everyone else is going to vote and just worry about casting a responsible vote themselves. They also need to stop worrying about who is and isn’t in the race. Mind your own business. Support your own candidate. Each candidate represents voters and it is their own business whether their candidate stays or goes.

“Jeb will be lucky if he can win Florida”

Latest polling posted elsewhere here on FR has Yebbie fifth or sixth in Florida.

Exactly. The whole scheme of this article is to shut down TRUMP.

It will not work. None among them can take him down, short of fraud or a gun, God forbid.
