Bobby Jindal suspends campaign.

[Kingofalldems]

A nation rejoices!

Guess he got tired of the kiddie table.

[hifiguy]

1. His three supporters

are crestfallen, I am sure.

[think]

2. Only 14 left to go...

[randys1]

26. Each time one drops out, we are left with the frightening reality of who is left.

[6000eliot]

3. Wait. He was running for something?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Hee! Actually, a nation hardly notices.

Why did that loser ever think he had the slightest chance?

"This is not my time," he said in a Faux Snooze interview. Hate to break it to ya, Bobby, but your time is never.

[onenote]

5. He had to get back to Louisiana to make sure people who look like him aren't allowed into the state.

[Codeine]

6. The question on everyone's lips;

Bobby who?

[liberal N proud]

7. Another clown bounces out of the clown car and no one noticed

[Chitown Kev]

8. Wha?....Who?

Jindal had a campaign?

[lpbk2713]

9. He had nothing going for him at all.

He was an absolute failure as a governor. Even those dumbass duck hunters gave up on him.

I never could figure out why he was wasting his time.

[gratuitous]

12. Beats working

But truly, I didn't see Jindal bringing anything to the table as a candidate that wasn't covered by at least three or four other candidates. This also goes for several other candidates who haven't "suspended" their campaigns (suspended so they can still have someone pay off their campaign debts for them).

[n2doc]

34. Probably so he could run around and spend the campaign funds

on nice hotels and jobs for his relatives. Also it sets him up for a job on Fox. That's what I think most of the kiddie table folks are doing.

[Kingofalldems]

36. Fox awaits him. Bet he has already discussed it with them.

[NightWatcher]

10. I'm shining my dancing shoes waiting for Jeb!'s announcement/suspension

I expect it any month now.

[hifiguy]

15. Someone posted here that he's down to 3% in a national poll.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving piece of shit.

[Nye Bevan]

11. Why do these people always "suspend" their campaign?

It's not like he's going to make some miraculous comeback. Why not just quit?

[beac]

24. Allows them to still fundraise to pay off debts and/or bribe the eventual

nominee to pay off their debts in exchange for their endorsement. Not that I can see anyone throwing money at Jindal to secure his endorsement.

Let's hope we've seen the last of this sad little smirk:

[hifiguy]

29. Wow, that is a seriously punchable face.

The very exemplar of Backpfeifengesicht.

[beac]

37. Always mystified that he CHOSE that pic.

"Yeah, use that one, it definitely makes me look the smarmiest."

[hifiguy]

38. It has the greasy, smarmy smirk of someone

who looks like he's trying to sell you second-hand (previously owned) butt plugs.

[Nye Bevan]

39. Ah, thanks.

Kind of like when Jeb was "actively exploring" running for president (but not technically running), I guess.

[MurrayDelph]

32. I believe it's part of a legal fiction

So they can still solicit and accept donations. If they flat-out quit they have to give back any new donations; and I'm guessing he needs whatever he can get to pay off debts.

[Tipperary]

13. I had actually completely forgotten about him.

Too bad, so sad.

[Nye Bevan]

16. I saw him in the JV debate. Deeply unimpressive.

Chris Christie (of all people) ran rings around him.

[Tipperary]

17. Now that IS funny!

[jberryhill]

14. Damn... Now whatever shall I do all day?

[beac]

25. Volcano monitoring?

[Warpy]

18. You can't be a garden variety dumb guy and get elected any more

These days, the Republicans demand total lunatics. Nothing less will do.

[babylonsister]

28. Jindal is pretty much a lunatic

imo, says the most outrageous things, but he is also so unlikable to me; no personality at all.

[hifiguy]

30. His exceptionally stupid smirk

pictured above, is no help. That's terrible even for a Lesser Repig.

[tanyev]

19. Darn. Colbert's probably already finished taping tonight's show.

Hopefully we'll get a tribute to the fallen tomorrow night.

[Mnpaul]

47. I wish he would tear them off as we go

with Another One Bites the Dust background music

[ram2008]

22. Piyush saw the writing on the wall

Can't run for the Republican nom and be a brown man at the same time. Most of the uneducated, idiot tea baggers probably thought he was a muslim just because he is of Indian descent. I wouldn't be surprised if he was receiving death-threats.

Zero chance.

[KamaAina]

27. Well, there's still Rubio. And Cruz, sort of.

Can't run for the Republican nom and be a brown man at the same time.

[Jarqui]

31. As of Sept 30, his money position was very weak

http://www.fec.gov/fecviewer/CandidateCommitteeDetail.do?candidateCommitteeId=P60008398&tabIndex=1
Raised $1,158,091
Cash left $260,939 (as of Sept 30) (relative peanuts - Bernie had $27 mil)

He ran out of money and to continue the publicity stunt was going to cost him.

Flash back:
How one speech changed the course of Republican darling Bobby Jindal's career
http://www.vox.com/2015/6/22/8824553/bobby-jindal-speech

Lindsey Graham and John Kasich may still have a few bucks (but few votes in the polls). Santorum was in a similar financial position as Jindal and getting no traction so he's probably next.

[ProfessorGAC]

42. Exactly As I Suspected

What it really means is that there isn't money flowing in anymore, so bail while they're still some left.

[Renew Deal]

33. A campaign that never should have started

And started with a Blair Witch video.

[spanone]

35. 'suspends' bwahahahahahaaaa

[briv1016]

40. Anyone know who his billionare was and who he/she might back now?

[Spirochete]

41. Awww. And he had it in the bag, too...

[James48]

43. What? Me worry?

[LynneSin]

44. Damnit, I had Bobby Jindal in GOP Presidential Bingo. I'm out

[DisgustipatedinCA]

46. I hope you're sitting down when I tell you that you never had a chance.

Holding the Bristol Palin write-in bingo card might have gotten you better odds.

As my farewell to Jindal, I'd like to just say that even though I was never a bully in school, there's something about him that makes me want to push him against a locker and take his lunch money away.

[azureblue]

45. and a state weeps

now the idiot will go back to wrecking Louisiana..

[sinkingfeeling]

48. Who?

[IrishEyes]

49. Finally.

It feels like it has been forever since one of these idiots dropped out. Now it is down to 14. Any bets on whose next?

[bvf]

50. Was Piyush actually running?

Sorry if I'd missed it.

[merrily]

51. Gee, and it was going so well, too.

[3catwoman3]

52. So, he has come to realize it is not his time.

No, it is not, and let's hope it never will be.
