Bobby Jindal Drops Out Of GOP Presidential Race

“This is not my time”, Jindal, 44, told Fox News.

Jindal’s presidential campaign was a wasted opportunity for the governor. The reality is they told me as a young child that Americans can do anything.

Jindal returns now to Louisiana, where he’ll oversee the final days of his governorship.

Jindal was going to be the fresh face with the revolutionary conservative ideas in places areas such as health care. How hard would it have been to say a few months ago “circumstances have changed with all these awesome candidates running, we’re changing the rules?”

“He was a little nasty with me but I think ultimately was very nice and he tried”. “I mean, he’s a fighter and his instinct is to never give up”.

Although the Indian-American was once seen as a rising star in the Republican Party, his campaign failed to take off, with Jindal often polling in at under one per cent. He is the third Republican candidate-following Rick Perry and Scott Walker-to drop out of the race.

“It never occurred to us at the time that he could be excluded from the debate stage”, Teepell acknowledged.

“Bobby Jindal is a friend, a patriot, and an incredible governor who has consistently and passionately championed conservative values”. In a statement released by his campaign, the 44-year-old said it was “an honor”, to be part of the process but “this is not my time, so I am suspending my campaign for President”. He added that he had spent time on developing policy papers on issues such as health care and energy that he thought would resonate with voters, but they never caught fire. “Not only to talk about the progress we’ve made but to continue to make progress in those areas, especially job creation”.

“My wife and I actually early voted last week”, Jindal said. They added Jindal might endorse another candidate in the future, but not immediately. “Everyone knows that, but don’t forget, this is still the greatest country in the history of the world-and every single one of us should start every day by thanking God that we are fortunate enough to be USA citizens”, Jindal said.

Jindal said Tuesday he plans to continue churning out policy ideas at a think tank once he leaves the governorship in January.
