I don't see why Piyush is even bothering at this point.

His 15 minutes were over a long time ago.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Democracy in action. I say, let him throw his hat into the ring.

He took the name, Bobby, from a character on TV and is only a nickname.
He was raised a Hindu, but became Catholic. They couldn't be more different.

Piyush majored in biology at Brown, but says he doesn't believe in evolution. I'll bet his professors didn't know that.

so saying his given name is racist?

Yes. As the PC Police have clearly and regularly demonstrated, any criticism, snide remark, or otherwise potentially or unflattering word, comment or phrase that would come within approximately 500 miles of possibly being less than positive can be construed as "racist". And the person screaming "racist" has the authority to make that determination at all times and without peer review.

At least follow your own rules, willya?

The PC Police are still hiding under Mac's Bed while he thinks naughty thoughts.

so saying his given name is racist?

Yes as the left has pointed out over and over any criticism of a non white is racist. By the way there were claims of racism from the left when people used Barak Obamas middle name Hussein.

Certainly not my intent.

He prefers to be called Bobby Jindal, so I call him Bobby Jindal.

Case closed.

Next...

Nope, you just tossed it out there as you have the others, agreed.

Everything after that is open for interpretation...

I have no idea what kind of chance Jindal has at getting the nomination and as far as I can remember, he would be the very first Republican presidential candidate from Louisana ever, but I am still researching that.

He seems to talk a very, very conservative line and also appears to be well liked in Louisiana.

This is pretty shallow, but I swear, when I think of him and can't help but think of that speech he gave on national TV where he had that bizarro frozen smile on his face and walked up to the microphone like he was a doll on strings.

Uh, all that said, he's obviously a very, very bright guy. The question to me is whether he'll feel obligated to play the purity game. His "stupid party" comments a couple of years ago may indicate that he's willing to think for himself.

Yes, that was the GOP response to one of Pres. Obama's SOTU speeches and indeed, he did not look ready for prime-time, imo.

I do think the guy is willing to think for himself, but he, like the others, will be forced to say crazy-assed shit to get the extreme Right-Wing frothing base of the GOP, which is now the majority of the party, to consider voting for him. And all of that crazy shit, which works magic in the primaries, becomes a poison pill for the GOP in the GE.

I suppose he could win the Louisiana primary, but only in the runoff. LA has a jungle primary system with a 50% requirement, otherwise, a run-off.

Piyush means greatness in Hindi. He made a wise choice disassociating himself from that.

The whole nominating process will be fascinating to watch here, it may still end up that a more independent-minded candidate could win it. It could end up being like a demolition derby, where the winner is just the random one who hasn't completely crashed and burned.
