I don’t know whether to feel happy or depressed about this.

Keep in mind that Steve King endorsed Trump no more than three days ago.

In the bookie biz, this is known as “hedging your bets”.

No they are just realizing that the public might be on to them and they better adjust their talking points accordingly.

This is truly the first semi-intelligent statement I have read from Steve King.

The kiss of death

Thanks, irasdad, for the prophesy. But does this mean that Darius the Mede is to be our next President?!

King; “What happens in Sioux City, stays in Sioux City”.

Steve King Offers Rare… capitulation

rollinnolan · August 11, 2016, 5:12pm

The Republican fear and desperation is spreading like a virus. Nice to watch them squirm, now let’s watch them lose the Senate and the house. Go Dems.

frankly_my_dear · August 11, 2016, 5:13pm

One man’s Mede is another man’s Persian.

rollinnolan · August 11, 2016, 5:13pm

Love your posts, irasdad, but this time you went over my head. Explain please.

So you’ll probably see me become a vocal member of Congress

A) No one cares if you’re vocal; we’d just like you to stop saying stupid shit. B) I’m hoping you will no longer be a member of Congress in January and C) You just telegraphed that you think the man you endorsed may lose Iowa and that you need to distance yourself from him.

arrendis · August 11, 2016, 5:18pm

Alright. The aliens are among us. WHAT HAVE YOU POD PEOPLE DONE WITH STEVE KING, AND HOW CAN WE GET YOU TO TAKE THE REST OF THE TEA PARTY, TOO?

ignatius_donnelly · August 11, 2016, 5:19pm

This probably isn’t even a Top-10 item in Today In Trump Collapse.

But King does not rise to the level of Nixon. This is not a gracious, bold move by the powerful King to bring Clinton into Iowa’s orbit. This is King telling voters “I know the Democrats are gonna win big, but re-elect me anyway, and maybe I can save ethanol subsidies against President Clinton’s efforts to kill it.”

When asked to explain his surprisingly positive comment about a Democratic candidate who is widely supported by Hispanic voters, King responded, “I looked at her legs to see if she was hiding cantaloupes filled with heroin in her calves, and all I saw was cankles. We’re safe.”

Yes, we already know they can’t read the handwriting on the wall.

If you’d like to see legislation passed and progress made, then you better like it.

It beats 8 years of nonstop obstruction all to hell.
