Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is getting exactly what he wanted: A really angry Donald Trump.
After Jindal delivered a speech designed entirely to bait Trump, the Republican front-runner fired off a series of angry tweets Wednesday and Thursday. Trump first said he didn’t want to respond to Jindal because he barely registered in the polls — and then he did just that.
Bobby Jindal did not make the debate stage and therefore I have never met him….

…. I only respond to people that register more than 1% in the polls. I never thought he had a chance and I’ve been proven right.

Oh wow, lightweight Governor @BobbyJindal, who is registered at less than 1 percent in the polls, just mocked my hair. So original!

As Trump pointed out, Jindal is trailing badly in the polls and his campaign hopes this feud will give him a much-needed boost.

In a press call previewing the planned feud earlier this week, senior Jindal aide Curt Anderson told reporters “everything you do in a presidential campaign is an attempt to grab headlines, I don’t know what else you’d do.”
The campaign gleefully promoted the feud in email blasts to reporters throughout the day, and Jindal has jabbed back at Trump.
So yesterday I pointed out @realDonaldTrump is a substance-free narcissist… All he heard was a stray comment about his hair…I rest my case.
