Jindal’s Star No Longer Rising

The Washington Post says Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) “is one of the great mysteries of the early 2016 campaign: the rising star who has stalled.”

“Not long ago, the Louisiana governor was the Republican candidate of the future — the son of immigrants and also a proud product of the Deep South. He is a devout Catholic, an experienced governor and — in a political sphere dominated by shallow cable-television shouters — a data-driven Rhodes Scholar.”

“But now, Jindal sits at about 2 percent in national Republican polls. He has become such an afterthought that he recently resorted to asking himself a “gotcha” question. The media hadn’t bothered, and he wanted to stay in the conversation.”
