7. This may be part of a coordinated GOP strategy. Other candidates spoke out

against Trump yesterday too. That they all want attention does not rule out the fact that the entire GOP really, really needs Trump gone. We're heading into the fall now, time to get serious. I read an unsubstantiated claim that donors were getting together to fund taking him out. Couldn't verify it, but it would be strange if it were not happening.

Jindal started by calling Trump a narcissist, a word with lay as well as technical meaning, then continued on describing behaviors that fit a clinical diagnosis -- without actually saying so. It was very pointed, though.

My favorite is, "Donald Trump’s never read the Bible. The reason we know he’s never read the Bible, he’s not IN the Bible." I.e., the Bible's not about him so it would be unable to hold his interest. Wouldn't mean he wasn't a believer, though. Religion apparently is often twisted to support feelings of grandiosity, so many narcissists apparently do accept a religious authority above them, only, of course, seeing themselves as having a special relationship most can never aspire to.

this made me :

"I think it's pretty outrageous for him to be attacking anybody's appearance when he looks like he's got a squirrel sitting on his head. I think he should stop attacking other people's appearances," Jindal said.

Poor thing, Jindal has about as much chance of being POTUS as a squirrel.
