   Hello Everybody,   
      
   It's about time somebody stands up to the bully!   
   Give 'em hell, Bobby!  Give 'em hell!   
      
   BOBBY JINDAL FOR PRESIDENT!  HE DA MAN!   
      
   --Lee   
      
   Text: Jindal Speech on Donald Trump   
   September 10, 2015   
      
   Team Jindal   
      
   I. INTRODUCTION   
      
   Today I’m going to put my own political mission aside and talk about   
   something more important than myself, more important than any single   
   candidate or person.   
      
   Our country is slipping away right before our very eyes. We are   
   descending down the path to socialism, dependence on government is   
   becoming the new American Dream, we are unfazed by the selling of body   
   parts as commodities, and we are pathetically weak in international   
   affairs. America is slipping away, right in front of us in real time.   
      
   And yet this is a moment of great opportunity for America. This is a   
   time when we can make dramatic changes, we can embrace conservative   
   ideals, and we can literally turn our country around.   
      
   I believe the country is ready for that. You can see it in people’s   
   eyes, you can read it in the polls, America is ready for a politically   
   incorrect conservative revolution.   
      
   The liberalism and incompetence of the Obama Administration have pushed   
   us to the edge, to the point where you can literally see the idea of   
   America slipping away – and people are dreading it, and they are ready   
   to stop that from happening.   
      
   The American people have a massive appetite for a rebirth, a massive   
   appetite for making America Great again.   
      
   So that is the context and the reason for what I’m going to say next.   
      
   II. I like The Idea of Donald Trump   
   •I like the idea of a DC outsider.   
   •I like that he doesn’t care about political correctness.   
   •I like the fact that he says things people are thinking but are afraid   
   to say.   
   •I like that he uses Ronald Reagan’s theme of making America Great   
   Again.   
   •Trump’s diagnoses is correct — the professional political class in   
   Washington, including the Republicans, is incompetent and full of   
   nonsense. He is right. The political class in Washington has abandoned   
   us. Trump has performed an important service by taking on the political   
   class and exposing them for being completely full of nonsense.   
      
   III. But, here’s the problem. Donald Trump is also full of nonsense.   
   •Don’t get me wrong — His act is tremendous. It’s a sellout show, and   
   I’ve enjoyed it.   
      
   I laughed out loud when he read Lindsey Graham’s cell number on live TV.   
      
   I got a kick out of him giving kids helicopter rides at the Iowa state   
   fair   
      
   And I was amused when he said the people at Jeb’s townhall were   
   sleeping.   
   •But, it is now time for us to do what Donald would do, and say the   
   thing that everyone is thinking, but is afraid to say out loud. So I’m   
   going to do it.   
      
   The Donald Trump Act is great, and the idea of Donald Trump is great —   
   BUT the reality of Donald Trump is absurd, he’s a non-serious carnival   
   act.   
      
   IV. So here’s the truth about Trump that we all know, but have been   
   afraid to say….   
   •Donald Trump is shallow. Has no understanding of policy. He’s full of   
   bluster but has no substance. He lacks the intellectual curiosity to   
   even learn.   
      
   It’s silly to argue policy with this guy, he’s doesn’t know anything   
   about it, he has no idea what he is talking about, he makes it all up   
   on the fly. According to him his health care plan will be “fabulous”   
   and his tax plan will be “really, really terrific.” He’s shallow, no   
   substance.   
   •He does not believe in limited government and he has told us that over   
   and over. From his belief in socialized medicine to his desire for tax   
   increases, he’s told us over and over that he’s got no problem with big   
   top-down style government. He’s only got one real problem with   
   Washington – that he’s not running it.   
   •Donald Trump is for Donald Trump. He believes in nothing other than   
   himself.   He’s not a liberal, he’s not a moderate, and he’s not a   
   conservative. He’s not a Republican, Democrat, or Independent. He’s not   
   for anything or against anything. Issues and policies and ideals are   
   not important to him. He’s for Donald.   
   •Donald Trump is a narcissist and an egomaniac. That may sound like a   
   serious charge to make, but it is also something that everyone knows   
   to be true, and he knows it too, and he celebrates it. He told us the   
   other day that he’s likes Kanye West, why? “Because Kanye loves Trump.”   
   He may be an entertaining narcissist, but he is one nonetheless.   
   •Like all narcissists, Donald Trump is insecure and weak, and afraid of   
   being exposed. And that’s why he is constantly telling us how big and   
   how rich and how great he is, and how insignificant everyone else is.   
   We’ve all met people like Trump, and we know that only a very weak and   
   small person needs to constantly tell us how strong and powerful he is.   
   Donald Trump believes that he is the answer to every question.   
   •Donald Trump is But not in the way you think. Many say he’s dangerous   
   because you wouldn’t want a hot head with his fingers on the nuclear   
   codes.   And while that’s true, that’s not the real danger here.   
      
   The real danger is that, ironically, Donald Trump could destroy   
   America’s chance to be Great Again.   
      
   As conservatives, we have a golden opportunity in front of us. The   
   Democrats have terribly screwed things up, and are basically giving us   
   the next election.   
      
   If we blow this opportunity – we may never get it again, the stakes are   
   incredibly high.   
   •Donald Trump is not a serious person. It’s all a solo act, it’s all   
   just a show, and the joke is on us. He’s laughing all the way to the   
   bank, or to the polling location. P.T. Barnum was never more right.   
   •You may have recently seen that after Trump said the Bible is his   
   favorite book, he couldn’t name a single Bible verse or passage that   
   meant something to him.   And we all know why, because it’s all just a   
   show, and he hasn’t ever read the Bible.   But you know why he hasn’t   
   read the Bible? Because he’s not in it.   
      
   V. CONCLUSION — Now What?   
   •The Democrats have practically gift wrapped this election for us. It’s   
   as if they know they’ve run the country into the ground, and they are   
   running their worst possible candidate who is running the worst possible   
   campaign.   
   •The whole thing is set up for us to win – and yet we are flirting with   
   nominating a non-serious, unstable, substance-free narcissist.   
   •Nominating Donald Trump is a certain way for us to miss our opportunity   
   to make America Great Again.   
   •Summer is over, it’s time to get serious about saving our country. It’s   
   time to send Donald Trump back to reality TV – it’s time to tell Donald   
   Trump – it’s been great, you’ve been great for ratings, you are almost   
   as fun as Don Rickles, the show has been a blast.   
   •We do in fact need to make America Great Again. We do in fact need to   
   fire everybody in Washington. We do in fact need to get rid of political   
   correctness. That is all true. And we can make America Great again. But   
   we will not do that by putting an unserious and unstable narcissist in   
   the White House.   
   •Our country is worth saving, and this is our time to save it.   
   •The conservative cause deserves more than a power-hungry shark who eats   
   whatever is in front of him…because sooner or later, we will be his next   
   meal.   
   •This is our moment, this is our time. We can win right now, or we can   
   be the biggest fools of all time and put our faith not in our   
   principles, but in one egomaniacal madman who has no principles.   
   •If we nominate him, he will self-destruct in a massive way in a general   
   election. He may be Hillary Clinton’s only hope.   
   •Even worse, if you are a conservative, it wouldn’t matter if he won. He   
   believes in nothing, we have no idea what he would do.   
   •It’s time to get serious about making America Great Again, so it’s time   
   for Donald Trump to take the ride down his own elevator – It’s time to   
   tell Donald Trump – no, we will not put an egomaniacal unserious person   
   in the White House — “you’re fired”.   
   •We have to put a committed conservative in the White House who will   
   make our country great again and will ignore the professional political   
   class in Washington.   
   •Donald Trump’s campaign is not about making America Great Again, it is   
   about making Donald Trump Great.   
   •Obviously I think I am the right man for the job, but the voters will   
   make that decision. America is ready for a politically incorrect   
   conservative revolution.   
      
   Stand with Bobby
