Representative Steve King is among the leading Iowa Republicans basking in reflected glory from Ted Cruz’s big win in the caucuses. His endorsement in mid-November was a catalyst for Cruz’s rise in the Iowa polls. He ran interference when Cruz came under attack for his stands on the ethanol mandate and an amendment to a 2013 immigration bill.

Donations from around the country would pour in if he faced a real threat in this year’s primary.

Nevertheless, a primary with Ryan backing some challenger to King could become quite a spectacle. Plenty of wealthy establishment types loathe Cruz and feel King’s history of offensive comments about immigration hurt the Republican Party.

Steve King ain’t gonna lose any primary, certainly not because the dymano behind the Suckabee campaign wants it to happen.
Let this little RINO twerp go away.. The same people want to replace Walter Jones. They can stick it..
Steve King is a great guy even if he endorses Cruz.
Steve King represents Main Street conservatives rather than Wall Street donors and the open borders lobby just can’t stand it.
