Bobby Jindal has left the building:

Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, a onetime rising Republican star whose popularity has plummeted in his own state, abruptly dropped out of the presidential race on Tuesday, conceding that he was unable to find any traction.

“This is not my time,” he said on Fox News.

Mr. Jindal unveiled a series of policy proposals, ferociously attacked Donald J. Trump and spent considerable time courting conservatives in Iowa, which begins the presidential nominating process. None of it worked. He raised little money, did not rise high enough in the polls to appear on the prime-time debate stage and was overshadowed by unconventional candidates such as Mr. Trump and Ben Carson.

He’s not out because he, “Was overshadowed by unconventional candidates such as Mr. Trump and Ben Carson,” he’s out because he is Bobby Jindal.

He was clearly never ready for prime time, and this has been evident since his disastrous response to Obama’s first speech to Congress.

Both Jindal and Palin faced reality in the same week.

Hoodathunkit?

Buy-Bye.
