I'm leaning towards the former.

Didn't his star fade after his botched SOTU response in 2009?

It's a combination of the two. He's always been overrated, but he did peak early. His national stock trended downward after his SOTU response. During his second term, the bottom really fell out.

He wasn't ready in 2012, and he's still not ready. Maybe he'll be ready someday, who knows.

He peaked in 2009 before the SOTU response.

He's never been a realistic possibility for President. Jindal's politically shallow and kind of looks like Satan with that creepy smile of his; flaws that were on full display in his SOTU response in 2009. Overall gofy politician.

He started running for president the second he became governor and it shows. He was more interested in checking off the national conservative bucket list than in running his state well. The hot mess that is their voucher program is proof of that.

Yea... His goofy ass SOTU response to a public that was, at the time, so sick of hearing the Republican brand was the final nail in that short-lived coffin.

I just remember thinking he was this sensible, moderate guy who had a compelling background and might be a nominee someday that could win ... wow, was I wrong.

Alf Landon peaked too soon for the 2016 election, too.
