Jindal calls Trump practically every name in the book

Bobby Jindal pulled no punches against Donald Trump on Thursday, raining down a deluge of criticisms on the current Republican leader in the polls, calling him "a narcissist," "an egomaniac," "non-serious," "substance-free," "insecure," "weak," "shallow," "unstable," among other knocks.

"Donald Trump is for Donald Trump. He believes in nothing other than himself. He's not for anything, he's not against anything," the governor of Louisiana and Republican presidential candidate told a gathering at the National Press Club in Washington. "Donald Trump is a narcissist and he's an egomaniac. That may sound like a serious charge to make, but everyone knows it to be true."

The danger in Trump's candidacy, Jindal remarked, is that, "ironically," he "could destroy America's chance to be great again."

"I'm putting aside my political mission today," Jindal said, acknowledging his campaign's struggles in the polls but noting that he is doing well in early states like Iowa, where the first caucus is in February.

"I'm putting aside my political mission today," Good idea, considering how it's going...

1. Gee

a lot of those descriptions apply to Jindal.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

2. "a narcissist," "an egomaniac," "non-serious," "substance-free," "insecure," "weak," "shallow,"

"unstable,"

Uhhh... I have to wonder if he was staring into a mirror as he said these things.

[FSogol]

6. Great description of the entire Gee-O-Pee, Jindal and Trumpy included.

[lark]

3. Jindal is totally right, only he didn't go far enough.

Those same words could be said of most of the other clowns running for president on the wRong side.

[gordianot]

4. What got in Jindal's craw? Did Trump call him an Anchor Baby?

That does seem to be something Trump is definitely against.

[KamaAina]

5. Oh, Booby, Booby, Booby. Even if the repukes do win,

there's a snowball's chance they'll even consider you for a measly Cabinet post.

[SummerSnow]

7. the gloves are off

[WinkyDink]

8. Jindal doesn't have the guts not to fold, because Trump WILL see and raise.

[Roy Rolling]

9. Letter from home

Dear Bobby:

The $1.6 billion deficit this year in Louisiana you tried to patch sprung a leak less than a month after you signed the bill. There is now another $100 million you "forgot" to include. Since you spend all of your time in Washington and Iowa, please do us suckers at home a favor and ask your supporters to pay your expenses. Then, some of that "trickle-down" magic will flow on you , too.

Red beans and ricely yours,

Louisiana

10. Last gasps for the Jindal campaign?

[Renew Deal]

11. No. The RNC is sacrificing it's biggest losers to attack Trump

[Plucketeer]

12. Who woulda thunk???

The whole overstuffed GOP clown car imploding in a big display of fizzling fireworks! One couldn't do a Bad Lip Reading of Jindal that would outshine this tirade! There's a title to this movie: When BUFFOONS collide!

Hey Bobby! Brownback's dying to be your running mate. You two could de-taxify us back to a stone age existence.

[Jack Rabbit]

13. "a narcissist," "an egomaniac," "non-serious," "substance-free," "insecure," "weak," "shallow."

Wow, and all accurate descriptions of the Donald.

I didn't know Jindal had it in him to tell the truth like that. That's been unusual for Republicans since 1980.

[WhiteHat]

14. Truer words were never spoken...

...by Bobby Jindal.

Unfortunately, almost everything else he says is lies. Which, apparently, he reserves for his campaign.

Also unfortunate: Jindal's words on Trump make Jindal sound like what Trump would call a "loser." Which is also true.

[WI_DEM]

15. And when he's asked, "Will you support this unstable man if he's the GOP nominee" Bobby will answer,

"Of course."

[Z_California]

17. That's what I was thinking.

Did Jindal sign the pledge to support the GOP nominee no matter who it may be? If so, he agreed to support a weak, shallow, unstable insecure substance-free narcissist for President if nominated. What does that say about Bobby Jindal?

[Jim Lane]

21. Not just support -- if Trump offers him the VP slot, he'll take it. (n/t)

[Old Crow]

16. Oh, c'mon guys: I think the motivation here is fairly obvious.

Jindal is hoping to provoke a dustup with Trump. He and his advisors know that if Trump starts bellowing against Jindal on Twitter or in TV appearances, it will bring a lot of attention Jindal's way. And if Jindal can sustain a back-and-forth exchange of insults with Trump for a week or more, it will result in free media appearances, something he desperately needs.

[leftofcool]

19. Ding ding ding!

You won the prize!

[Old Crow]

20. Why, thank you!

I'll take the plush koala bear.

[MurrayDelph]

18. All this from a kettle

who is pretending to be white.

(Bobby, bubbie there is no shame in being Indian. There SHOULD be shame in being a hypocritical moron)

[Jester Messiah]

22. A man who hides from his own true name calling someone else names?

Delicious.

[Xolodno]

23. He's just mad...

...along with the other candidates in the GOP. They were all geared up to fight each other for the "base" (tired old tactic, stay right wing during primary...after nomination, run to center).

But instead Trumped jumped in and took it all. By saying exactly what these nut jobs want to hear....but in doing so, won't get you elected. The GOP field got....wait for it....trumped.

[NorthCarolina]

24. He figures getting Trump to mention him is better than not

being mentioned at all. Jindal who?

[DCBob]

25. LOL!

The GOP has totally gone apeshit!

[Thinkingabout]

26. So says the guy which has ruined Louisiana.
