And Then There Were 13... Bobby Jindal 'Suspends' Presidential Campaign As Trump Tops Post-Paris Polls
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Tuesday said he was ending his presidential bid, saying “this is not my time.”
Jindal had struggled to gain traction in the race, often failing to poll at even 1 percent in some surveys. He also underwhelmed in the money race, and had just $261,000 in the bank heading into October.
As Politico reports, Jindal is the third Republican to suspend his campaign, after former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker dropped out earlier this year.
And as most of America says "Bobby who?", The Donald takes a commanding lead in post-Paris polls... (as The Hill reports)
Donald Trump’s voter support is rising nationwide after last week’s terrorist attacks in Paris, a new poll says.
Trump commands a 19-point lead over his competition for the GOP’s 2016 presidential nomination, according to the Morning Consult survey.
The New York business mogul earns 38 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, it said Tuesday.
“Pundits have gotten rich declaring the impending decline of Donald Trump — and they’ve been consistently wrong,” said James Wyatt, Morning Consult’s director polling.
“Morning Consult isn’t the only poll that shows Trump still has life, and that the rest of the field needs to work overtime to catch him,” he added Tuesday.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson trails the outspoken billionaire with 19 percent of that demographic.
Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) are next, tying for third with 7 percent apiece.
Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.) rounds out the field’s top five, garnering 6 percent among respondents.
Morning Consult said Tuesday that Trump’s poll numbers are surging from a dip last month.

Trump/Rand paul ticket will beat Hillary. All of these other assclowns will be wiped out
Rand is too establishment.
I don't believe it - he's just playing the politics game. Saw his father was only worth 10% being honest - Rand's strategy hasn't worked so far. I believe he is the best-but cannot win. He will complement Trump very well.
Trump/ Carson: Unbeatable.
If Trump picks that political stooge, idiot Carson -then Trump is just another political whore who fooled too many of us. Carson is a nothing- a perfect puppet to be controlled by the puppet masters.
I know this is irrelevant since he is polling at less than 1%, but Gilmore is still in the race.
Satan (R) / Lucifer (D) is the winning ticket, but that would require red zombies and blue zombies agreeing that evil is awesome.
Carson? You mean 2nd amendment is optional, must vaccinate (no opt out), Carson?
How did you find yourself on this site?
RCP sucks establishment cock. Their polling is a joke, they just ignore all polls where Trump leads (you know, shit polling groups like Reuters, Rasmussen, Yougov etc.)
LMAO, did the END THE FED legislation give it away? or maybe the legislation to stop refugees from terrorist countries. Actually since Rand returns money every year to the treasury from his allotted senator's budget, THAT must make him an establishment guy (200k).
I'm confused to why you think following the constitution is being an establishment RINO. If he was establishment, I'm sure the media wouldn't be blocking him from most polling results, focus groups, and article mentions!
Rand alienated a lot of people by going to the wailing wall.

All I hear is wailing vaginas. Our forefathers and my relatives did much worse to defend this country...
I agree. That would probably be a winning ticket. Sanders/Warren might yield a surprise, but Hllary is a known and not-well-loved quantity.
Sanders /Warren cannot win. It's fixed -Hillary is the nominee and likely next President. Only Trump can stop this. I don't like Trump -but he's looking a hellava lot better than the rest.
Deeeeeezzzzz NUTS for Pres. 2016
he can't be worse than the last 15 Presidents.
If you support Rand, you cannot support Trump, unless you have NO clue about what the constitution is, a sense of foreign policy, or knowledge of monetary policy. Man I thought readers on Zerohedge were smarter than that!
Right. Vote for Hillary because Trump isn't Ron Paul. Enjoy drowning in diarrhea.
The idea that Carson is anywhere near Trump is manipulation of data.
Most people don't even know who he or Jindal are.
Somecrazyfucker/2016
I'm still voting for Donald Duck...
Lindsey Graham, lol
sub 1% and still in there...lol
If he stays it which Im not sure he will based on the failing Jeb campaign, consider it confirmation that the only reason he is in is to take votes in South Carolina away from Uncontrolled candidates.
Go Trump. The old guard must die.
The Don is the only one who has a grip on what's going on and actually seems to give a crap about America's private sector middle class. He has my vote.
You are right.
When the old guard goes, ad it surely will, most of the pensions systems will be tossed too. Bring back the tenements!!!
Get out of debt.
HuffPo Headline: White Republican Bigots Dump Brown Skinned Man
Sub Head: National Socialist Democratic Party Boss Debbie Wasserman Schulz Mulls Asking Hillary! To Learn Spanish ;-)
Debbie Wasserman Schulz
How about telling the Mexicans to learn English!!!
As an immigrant who has learned English this pandering to the Mexicans pisses me off!!!
Who says america dosent have political choices! Look at all thoze assholes! And thats not even the lot of them! Brilliance abounds.
at least we have a choice of assholes. The problem is -they all smell like shit. Actually more like diarhea.
what a bright future lies ahead...
As a Canadian who has watched this US shit for a long long time...the Donald may just be what the US needs.
I don't know if he's what the country NEEDS. But he may be what they WANT. And I doubt he'd be as bad as the professionals fear. But we'd better count the White House silverware before and after his tenure. You can be certain that if he accepts the gig, he'll expect to make a profit.
+ 1 Trillion.......
USD's
He's already made plenty of profit. He will want to leave a lasting reputation. When you are already rich, that's the only thing you want to take from the presidency.
step 1. no more of that indian casino nonsense, gone.
step 2. some spectacular hotels casinos and golf courses by the donald coming to yellowstone and yosemite
You don't like Americans much, do you?
Hittlery will not be the Dem(N)on!
My American Partners the Party Machine has a Round Table who determine Policy. Need to rid yourselves of every Incumbent.
Graham!!! Still hanging on with -47%!
EL-OH-EL
cruz wants to abolish the irs and rein in the fed ... good enough for me.
Cruz is the worst -political whore-hired gun, Harvard educated, wife Goldman Sachs VP, major Neocon Netanyahu asskisser - his role is to preempt the Tea party -fool idiots who think they are the opposition to mainstream Republicans. He was groomed by the elites at an early age for this role -Like Clinton, Obama and Rubio. Don't be fooled by these types. Don't be stupid.
Looking at our options I have to laugh, and yet most chimps still think the president is the most power man in the world. I guess when Hillary is elected we'll have to change it to the most powerful person in the world.
I'm just wondering who's the best golfer in the bunch.
Jindals a good man.
he's a politician -good by Louisiana standards.
Jindal looked pretty stupid playing the "hey I'm shocked at $yrian refugee influx" card in the middle of his campaign when the paper trail literally goes back YEARS!
YES BOBBY it's not your time.
Then's there's all the ethnic mayhem in LA with Mexican invasion gang thing going, black riots, on top of previous ethnic refugee policies all soon to collide with Syrians of every color.
Yay for "diversity rainbowism".
Louisiana has so much high ground to host these thousands of newcomers, as well as jobs and surplus farmland and water supplies too.
Louisiana living the Jindal LaVitaLoca.
DC is about to get 'whacked', and the murder weapon is Trump!
Since around 1968, millions of people have had the opinon Donald Trump was a little dickhead. And every year since then he's done nothing but prove it to increasingly more and more people as each year passes. Hehehe.
Yeah, but other than Rand Paul -the others are far worse dickheads -Zio owned Dickheads -and Rand can't win. He would be a good VP for Trump.
I can't help it if putting people's brains in a matchbox sounds like a BB rolling around in a boxcar.
He is a major dickhead. It is what is so attractive about him as a candidate. People are hoping the establishment is going to be fucked in a major way.
People have lost hope for a saviour. Now they want someone to give the professional politicians a stroke.
Chris Christie for Hometown Buffet President!!
I said it before and I'll say it again: This election cycle there will be a record mass voter turnout of people going to the polls in order to outright ***prevent*** someone from being elected. We'll see...
Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus Christ what the fuck is Pataki still doing in this "race"?
Ditto Chris Kringle Christie
Lindsay Graham????? LOL....that fuck couldn't win his home state.....maybe garner 3 votes....from nursing homes.
Huckabee? LOL....
Nothing but theater. Are you entertained?
Like changing the captain of the Titanic mid-Iceberg!
Wait, there was a guy named Gilmore?
Hmm, perhaps Pink Floyd needs him for an Int'l tour... :>D
McCain supports Lindsey
Don't worry folks, there are plenty of tools left in that box.
Hey! theres no A,D,E,I,J,LMNO,Q,UVWXYZ guy. How am I supposed to pick a great toilet paper without those candidates? Oh well fuck'em "ALL" I don't need their narcissism or thieving controlling me.
ZHer's and Tylers:
Should we start a "Campaign Deadpool" or sorts for the GOPee?
I say that Mr. Kasich or Santorum (his Conservatives Unite Moneybomb schtick last election) are due to fold next.
Its pretty obvious there is only room for one establishment candidate now. The others are just pulling votes from Jeb and Rubio and will soon be getting special phonecalls from the donors. It will be fight between Jeb and Rubio for the establishment/donor vote. And a fight amongst the others for the base of the party, it will make for good entertainment if nothing else.
"A new Morning Consult survey shows 22 percent of voters say security issues are at the top of their minds when they think about national elections, higher than anything other than economic issues." END
Banking Cabal Propagandist have won; presidents are selected, not elected...hello Hitlery.
Trump/ Cruz 2016 !!
Anyone but Hilary 2016!
At least Linsey Graham is hanging in there, fighting for the interests of the 0.0% who support him.
HEY LINDSEY, you sassy bitch...
How's that Import 100,000 jihadis at US taxpayer expense platform working out for ya?
[0.0] Graham
Cum gurgling fag.
Pataki, Graham, and Santorum will be next. Graham literally doesnt have one vote on the graphic, there is hope for our country.
How is that fag getting reelected in his state. For crying out loud I thought South Carolina was a conservative state.
I know this creature is still in the closet but it is so flaming that my gaydar almost short circuits every time I see him/it.
I keep telling everyone, the best when Trump gets in the first couple of months, when he gets around to all the US department heads: Your're fired. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired.
YOU ARE ALL FOOLS.
It doesn't matter who gets "elected."
Nobody will enter office unless they are 100% controlled, or there is 100% possibility they can be coerced, intimidated, or just plain used.
No matter who wins, America loses. Use your brains.
unfortunately throwing in the towel completely and burying our collective heads in the sand in the name of "pointlessness" is a luxury we can ill afford.
so though it may be a question of picking the Best Of The Worst, because that's what Trump is, it has never been different or better in the United States, or anywhere else in the world.
...so pull your head out of your Impending Doomsday Asshole, come back to Planet Earth, and try to stay positive.
Why does Lindsey Graham still exist? He has a stupid face and a fucked up voice.
Who else can be a permanent guest on Meet the Press?
And his asshole has seen more action than a sheep at a suicide bomber convention.
Pataki and Graham should go out now too. Santorum and Huckabee have some support in Iowa so they could hang around and hope for a high finish even though they likely will not win Iowa.
It gets more interesting with Kasich, Christie, and Paul - as one of these drop the other two might gain enough to stay in a while longer. And after the first four primaries anyone not cracking the top 5 in at least one will go.
all the other "contenders" are bought and paid for.
If Trump is as smart as I think he is he'll pick a well known well liked business leader who is outside the complete DC political establishment in every way like him.
