(Think Progress) Obvious Tom Tancredo says Jindal's speech was "the last nail in his coffin" for the presidency. And if anyone knows about a dead presidential campaign, it's whoever that guy is   (thinkprogress.org) divider line 123

But I think that performance would very well have put the last nail in the coffin for him, for running for president.

What were the first nails?

Ok, a little soon on that....

Eh, the GOP still have three more years to flail epically.

As surprisingly bad as it was (Jindal doesn't usually sound like an idiot), it wasn't that bad imho.

Being a Republican would seem to be nail 1.

 
Fart_Machine 2009-02-26 08:16:05 PM  
Tancredo nailed his coffin shut well before he ran for the Presidency. Jindal has plenty of time to keep on failing.

So in your opinion, sounding like an idiot doesn't make the speech..that bad.

Okay then.

I'm sure half this country would still vote for him, easily.

Just keep the Noise Machine running with OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST and TAX CUTS in heavy rotation...

Being black in the Republican party.

 
RemyDuron 2009-02-26 08:18:28 PM  
Nah, that's pushing it. It was bad though. It was a total play for "Americans really like being talked to like children," and it went WAY too far. Not the image republicans want in an environment where, quite frankly, they have to imitate Obama as the democrats imitate Reagan (Clinton's folksy charm and country heart, Obama's "radical" centrism that, for some people, made him seem insanely liberal).

 
Jonny Chimpo 2009-02-26 08:18:28 PM  
Not that I like Jindal or anything (in fact, I am a proud liberal), how many times in 2007-early 2008 did people say "the last nail in the McCain campaign"?

 
RemyDuron 2009-02-26 08:19:03 PM  
I guess, succinctly, Jindal needs to be the Republican Obama, but last night they gave him a speech that sounded like Bush.

I think his point was despite being a bad speech, it wasn't bad enough to end Jindal's possible presidential ambitions.

Well, that's whatever you were talking about for you...

 
Hibno 2009-02-26 08:19:40 PM  
Jindal's speaking makes Harry Reid look dynamic, but it was also the lack of any significant content that made it look bad. It was just the same bullshiat that didn't failed epically in November.

I think this is another sign of the clusterfark the Republican party is going to be for the next few years. There was the grandstanding republican governors, and now they couldn't even get their shiat together and find somebody with two brain cells to rub together to make a coherent rebuttal to Obama's state of the union.

I would think this was funny if I had more faith in my fellow Americans to not vote these idiots into a majority again. Obama's probably going to get his dick sucked and then it will be all over.

 
Corvus 2009-02-26 08:20:04 PM  
I hate all these people saying Jindal made great points but had bad delivery.

He had bad delivery and HORRIBLE points.

Bad Points he made:

1) Saying government monitoring Volcanoes is a waste of money. This is idiotic. He also pretended all the USGS money only went to volcano monitoring which is not true.

2) Blaming the REPUBLICAN failure of Katrina on "government". Republicans running government is like an Atheist running a church. They failed because Bush put incompetent people in charge.

3) Hey made up his story about Katrina too. It was a BS made up story blaming things on a dead person who can't defend himself.

4) Saying federal funds are EVIL while he took billions on Katrina rebuilding,

5) Saying the Stimulus is EVIL when he took about 99% of the funds.

The points he made sucked just as bad as his delivery.

Jesus Christ. "That bad" in terms of tanking a run for President in 3 farking years which is the subject of TFA. Of course it was a bad speech, as I said.

From Jindal's speech:

>To find work, my dad picked up the Yellow Pages and started calling local businesses. Even after landing a job, he could still not afford to pay for my delivery -- so he worked out an installment plan with the doctor. Fortunately for me, he never missed a payment.

Seriously? This is the "great content" of his speech? What was the doctor going to do? Kidnap the baby or put the baby back in the vaj unless payments were made on time?

 
moothemagiccow 2009-02-26 08:25:15 PM  
for all the negative reaction from liberals, it's done nothing but get this guy's name out.

 
onebadgungan 2009-02-26 08:25:18 PM  
FTFA: Stepping up in Jindal's defense yesterday, Rush Limbaugh warned his fellow conservatives yesterday not to say negative things about Jindal. "Those of you who think Jindal was horrible....I don't ever want to hear from you ever again," he said.

So, is that the last nail in Rush's coffin?

Exactly. All conservative minorities are dead to the MSM until further notice.

Nothing against Jindal, but he's out.

If the Republicans actually think that a conservative minority voice would be allowed to gain any traction........

You are absolutely correct. The negative reaction from liberals propelled Sarah Palin in the vice-presidency, so obviously this negative reaction from liberals will propel Jindal into the presidency.

He would have just been delivered in a city hospital paid for by funds that LIBERALS STOLE FROM HONEST HARDWORKING PEOPLE OH THE HORROR THE HORROR

Could be wrong and incomprehensible, you know. We learned that from Palin.

//Amazed that other politicians have made me respect Bush's speechmaking skills.

Anyway, I was flabbergasted by that as well. Republicans, when we said "Anyone But Bush" in 2004, we weren't expecting you to call our bluff.

Yep, because if it's one thing Americans are known for, it's a long political memory. LOL.

In a week, nobody will remember this. Forget about 2 years from now. He'll be their golden boy again.

Whoever will be the Repub nom for POTUS in 2012 is probably someone most people haven't heard of yet at this stage. Just like Obama was for the Dems.

Jindal wasn't that bad. More feh than anything. Anything else is just Obama cult WHARRGARBL. They just have to hate on anyone that doesn't worship Dear Leader.

It's going to be hard for someone to read a teleprompter after Obama anyway. Obama is the Telepromper Master. He might as well have dancers doing routines behind him and pyro.

 
Brubold 2009-02-26 09:01:32 PM  
I like how the site calls Tancredo an "anti-immigrant zealot". Yeah because the word illegal doesn't belong in there anywhere or you might be telling the whole story, idiots.

This seems to be a common problem these days like with the word embryonic that seems to disappear when talking about people against embryonic stem cell research.

Way to mislead.

Tancredo is against legal immigration as well as illegal. The more you know.

I get what you are saying, but Tancredo is a racist anti-immigrant zealot. Its a simple fact. The guy would happily nuke the MidEast.


He's a cracker racist, which is probably why he's happy to bash Jindal.

Yeah, right. He claims he's in favor of legal immigration, yet his platform was to ban it for three years and to eliminate many of the pathways for immigration.
