Reasons I’m Sad Bobby Jindal’s Time Is Done In The Presidential Race

This past Tuesday marks the day Gov. Bobby Jindal’s official resignation as one of the Republican presidential candidates for the presidential race of 2016.

For those of you who don’t know who Bobby Jindal is, Bobby Jindal (also fondly known as Piyush Jindal) is Governor of the great state of Louisiana. An avid gun user and promoter of the second amendment (right to bear arms), Jindal is quite the Louisiana treasure. Here is a picture of Jindal with a highly accurate painting of himself.

If you haven’t spotted the satire yet, it's clear Jindal is quite the joke of this candidacy. Being a writer who does not really keep up with politics, I can’t really say anything about his public policies. However, I can (and will) comment on his personality and other non-political aspects of his political campaign. Here are the reasons I’m sad Bobby Jindal’s time in the presidential election is over:

1. He caused the “Bobby Jindal is so white” tweets.

Oh, how these tweets caused so many hours of LOLing whilst studying for biology over the summer. Started by Hari Kondabalu, the “Bobby Jindal is so white” tweets depict typical things Indians and Indian-Americans do that Jindal does not do because he so clearly denies his Indian identity. Here’s an example.

2. His accent.

This is probably the only authentic thing about him. When listening to Jindal speak, although a very eloquent speaker, it is very clear that he was born and raised in the States. I’m not saying this is anything to be ashamed of, as also being raised in the States my accent depicts the same thing. But his accent is clearly #goals.

3. He was the only Indian presidential candidate, so far.

Even though he blatantly denies his Indian heritage, he is the only presidential candidate of Indian descent who has stepped up to the plate so far. Proud of you, Piyush.

4. He was the inspiration behind Aziz Ansari’s interpretation of a governor on the "Tonight Show."

This is one of the most hilarious sketches on the show that depicts the clear faults in his political campaign.


5. His inability to answer #AskBobby questions.

During his presidential candidacy, Jindal and his PR party decided to take to Twitter and ask his many followers to ask him questions that he would answer. However, this backfired as many of the tweets were pretty insulting to his political stance and, hence, were not answered.

So (regretfully) I say, peace out Piyush. Hopefully we’ll see you in 2020 and you can give Kanye a run for his money.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
