I wrote about Jindal extensively in my 2015 book (probably too much given how irrelevant he was by the time it came out!) But I thought his trajectory was revealing: Begins his rise with famous "stupid party" speech, ends up campaigning with Duck Dynasty dudes & pandering to Fox — PolitiTweet.org

Worth noting that this is not an exclusively Trump-era phenomenon. Consider the case of Bobby Jindal, who @GrahamDavidA begins his piece with: https://t.co/PFK05lUksq — PolitiTweet.org

Running for president in either party involves all kinds of indignities. But having talked to Jindal at length, I knew he was smarter than the stuff he was saying on the campaign trail. And of course it didn't even work—voters saw through the schtick & he dropped out before Iowa. — PolitiTweet.org
