BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says he is dropping out of 2016 race for president, ending a campaign that failed to gain much support among Republicans.

Jindal tells Fox News, "This is not my time."

He says he's not ready to endorse another candidate, but intends to support the eventual Republican presidential nominee.

The governor, who is term-limited and will be out of office in January, says he will work with a think tank he started a few years ago, called America Next.

"Stupidity expands to fill the available space," or something like that...........

[PSPS]

[Paladin]

8. About time, Piyush.

And he's going to work at a "think tank" starting next year? That ought to be good for some comic relief......

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. "This is not my time."

Guess riding those Duck Dynasty coattails didn't take you as far as you thought.

[mdbl]

54. LOL

Bubba Piyush! Need to kill dem duck laws in Louisiana.

[Warren Stupidity]

10. Ya cannot drop out of something you was never in Bobby.

[davidpdx]

50. Good point

Hopefully he'll go on vacation instead of back to running Louisiana into the ground for the few months he has left at his real job.

[spiderpig]

11. Buh bye!

An open seat in the Klown Kar.

[FSogol]

[Demeter]

49. Actually it was this ditty

[davidpdx]

51. A fitting song

We need that in the first thread when every Republican drops out.

[dawnie51]

13. Another grifter.....

about to be out of a job, so what the hell...let's run for president! Got to keep that government check coming in. These guys all bitch about federal and government employees, but they damned sure want to remain one; mostly because they don't have any real world skills whatsoever. Buh, bye Piyush.

[Maeve]

16. It will NEVER be 'your time'

For which we are grateful.

[sofa king]

17. But he'll be back....

But he'll be back,

When the election season is new,

And he'll have more bad ideas to spew,

And Republicans will ask, "what the fuck's he talking about?",

We. Will. Too.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. Bingo!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027190080#post3

I think I was right, wasn't I - no-one else dropped out after Walker and Perry until now? Sometimes, it's hard to know whether some of them are still in the campaign or not ...

[kairos12]

21. Was he running?

[lastlib]

23. ;(

?red=dc

"Not my time." No--the 1500s was, like, centuries ago, Piyush.

[cui bono]

24. As if anyone knew he was still in it.

[Liberalagogo]

25. "This is not my time."

Nor will it ever be, Piyush.

[JackRiddler]

26. If you had not posted this, when would we have noticed?

[onecent]

27. WHO??????????? HAR HAR

[Hoppy]

28. Still, we owe him a note of gratitude. His entrance at his response to the State of the Union was

comedy gold.

[lastlib]

47. He made a very valuable and significant contribution to this 2016 campaign:

He made the top half of the field possible, and the debate under-card necessary. We should never forget that (NOR forgive it!)

[underpants]

29. Aha! NOW Gilmore makes his move!

His ingenuous plan is working perfectly as planned!

[Mendocino]

30. Who will be next to quit?

I think Huckabee, Paul is polling just as bad but I think he will stay in for awhile longer to serve the libertarian fringe. Plus he might be hoping for the VP nod, although he'll never get it.

[NurseJackie]

31. Nooooooooo!

[restorefreedom]

32. glad he finally made it official. nt

[L. Coyote]

33. Finally, he's trending #1 on Twitter

So, how much money does he get to pocket for his effort?

[MrsMatt]

34. I hate to admit this but I thought

he'd left the race after the first debate.

I'd heard nothing from his campaign since then.

[weissmam]

38. so he is out of a job hahaha

[keithbvadu2]

41. Jindal changed his name to white bread "Bobby" to seem more white but

conservatives still consider him a "macaca".

That's an insult.

[rurallib]

42. is there a fight for his dozen of supporters?

[Javaman]

43. He was still in? nt

[brooklynite]

45. If Bobby Jindal's campaign fell down in the woods...did anyone notice?

[Turbineguy]

52. Comedians has a sad.

[Vinca]

55. It was little more than an idiot-funded vacation anyway, wasn't it?

[Scuba]

56. This is sad to hear.

Now the poor residents of Louisianna are stuck with Jindal full-time.

[GOLGO 13]

57. Quitter!

You have no heart, loser.

[davidpdx]

59. He's a Sarah Palin wanna be
