There were 4 people below him still in it too (Pataki, Gilmore, Graham, and Santorum). These losers need to dropout already

I had completely forgotten Gilmore was running. In fact, I'm not sure who he is.
Yeah, he should probably quit wasting his time and go back to whatever his job is.

It's making the debates stupid instead of them keeping the people in that actually matter and giving them enough time to say anything meaningful.

Jindal is alright. But it isn't his time for sure.

Lol he's a piece of shit joke. Took Liousiana from a 1 billion surplus to a 2 billion deficit per year... while destroying everything in his path. He's horrible... his own party in his home state despises him.

Lol he's a piece of shit. Took Louisiana from a 1 billion surplus to a 2 billion deficit per year... while destroying everything in his path... LSU, hospitals etc etc etc. He's horrible... his own party in his home state despises him what else needs be said?

I have never seen or heard a genuine word from his mouth. Hopefully it is never his time. All I have heard are vaguely neurolinguistic-programming laden stump speeches which were completely devoid of truth, strategy, insight, or humanity.
I almost applaud how poor a showing he makes, because it gives one insight into the soulless, pandering, cloying and clawing sociopaths who want power but have absolutely no ability to wield it.

And then there were... I can't count that high. Several more candidates should drop out as well to make this election less of a circus.

Wait. "When his parents came here 45 years ago they told him he could be whatever he wanted to be"...
They gave birth to him here, left, then came back 45 years ago and told him?
They came here 45 years ago, had him, and told him between 45 years ago and now?
He was born on a base outside the US but technically US soil?
Or he's not a natural born citizen?
I mean, I don't care where he was born really, just can't be president of he wasn't born here, and the only wording that makes sense from that is that they immigrated here with him already born elsewhere.
Edit: but I do feel sorry for him for some reason. Looks sad.
