Bobby Jindal fails to make the cut for first debate

Washington, Aug 5: Bobby Jindal failed to make the cut for Fox News' prime-time first Republican presidential debate on Thursday with celebrity real estate mogul leading the ten top polling candidates. Besides Trump, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, author and neurosurgeon Ben Carson and conservative firebrand Cuban American Texas senator Ted Cruz made the top six. They will be joined on the main stage by Cuban American Florida senator Marco Rubio, libertarian conservative Kentucky senator and physician Rand Paul, New Jersey governor Chris Christie and Ohio governor John Kasich. Finishing thirteenth, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, 44, a former vice chairman of the Republican Governors' Association, was relegated to an earlier forum the same day with the six other candidates lowest in Fox's selection of polls.
