Congressman Steve King intends to endorse one of the 17 Republican presidential candidates “sometime later in the fall” and Donald Trump seems to be at or near the top of his list.
“I think it’s fascinating to the world how Donald Trump can continue being Donald Trump and instead of getting weaker, he’s getting stronger,” King said.
(SNIP) And King said that description applies to both his son, Jeff, and to Senator Cruz. In another corner, however, is King’s former chief of staff, Chuck Laudner. Laudner is Donald Trump’s state director.

. “Furthermore, some of the efforts on many in the party will be to try to marginalize Donald Trump. Well, if they push him…the fear that he might run as a third-party candidate tends to restrain those who might marginalize him.”
King played games with Tokyo Rove while trolling Boehner, Gowdy and others on amnesty.

"King's substantial lead over Latham has a lot to do with his appeal to 'very conservative' voters- they prefer him by a 61/19 margin. But even with moderates King edges Latham 37/35."
They ended up with Joni Ernst which was okay.

RINOs endorse RINOs.
It would be foolish of Trump to rule out a 3rd party run. Is he running to be a republican president or president of the USA?
My dad’s endorsement is worth more than Kings.
I do not pledge anything; I do not have a crystal ball, and I do not know what the future holds.
DIAMOND DONALD TRUMP IS THE AMERICAN DREAM A GUY WHO WON’T BE PUSHED AROUND , DOESN’T OWE ANYONE , WON’T KISS THEIR RING, GETS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN TO MARRY. OWN’S A JUMBO JET, MANSIONS.
DIAMOND DONALD DOESN’T HAVE TO SELL HIS SOUL FOR CAMPAIGN MONEY, HE SAYS WHAT IS ON HIS MIND, ISN’T A COWARD.
HE WON’T BOW LIKE OBAMA, OR LEAD FROM BEHIND.
WE BELIEVE HE CAN BRING OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THE OBAMA AND BUSH DISASTERS. AND WE KNOW DIAMOND DONALD IS AS HARD AND TOUGH AS A DIAMOND
Once you agree to support whatever they do you lose all leverage.
“RINOs endorse RINOs.”
Steve King is ABSOLUTELY NOT a RINO.
He is a fire breathing conservative; on of the lefts top targets.
One of the most conservative; pro Constitution; pro borders people in DC.
Put his name in Google.
He shrieked : )
You’ve gone full Obama supporter for socialist Trump.
Keep pushing that and you’ll any Democrat in office.

Agreed but we have some posters who have no greater goal in life than to destroy the GOP. They don’t appear to have any plan beyond that.
Righto. I think people confuse Iowa Congressman Steve King with NY Congressman Peter King. PK is a RINO. Steve King took on the Speaker Boner. SK also takes on the immigration issue quite a bit, and sounds similar to Trump in that regard. Trump and SK are certainly aligned on the immigration issue.
You sir are an idiot. Steve King is a rebel who has been fighting the GOPe and the Dems for years. He is someone of great integrity and principle. I have worked closely with him on the immigration issue. It was King who tried to get Obamacare defunded when it actually could have been done. The GOPe hates him, Boehner deprived him of a chairmanship he should had. McConnell did the same thing to Jeff Sessions in the Senate. King works closely with Sessions and Vitter.
King will endorse an anti-establishment candidate. It will either be Trump or Cruz. Count on it.
King has been great on Obamacare as well. He is one of the most conservative members of Congress, a defender of the Constitution. He has authored and sponsored all kinds of immigration bills to eliminate birthright citizenship, reduce legal immigration, eliminate the visa lottery program, curtail H-1B visas, etc.
He’s running to see a Democrat in the WH. He talks to push buttons to carve out a portion of the GOP. It’s all vague all the time.
I suspect King will endorse Cruz eventually. I know Tancredo has. The only one missing would be Duncan Hunter Sr.
Let’s face reality. The Donald will go third party if he doesn’t win the GOP nomination. Anyone who thinks he’ll go quietly into the night if he loses is kidding themselves. That said, he can’t keep getting a free pass from the other candidates.
