King is the one who almost lost last time. And Feenstra is NOT a RINO, he’s a solid conservative.
King lost overwhelming, getting only 36% against several opponents and was well behind the winner. These are the people who know him best and they rejected him and it’s not’s cause he’s a “racist” but because they were tired of him gnawing on his foot in front of national cameras instead of servicing the district. What Alyssa Milano or Karl Rove for that matter think has nothing to do with it.
Maybe trust their judgement instead of reacting apoplectically? You’ll notice the President didn’t raise a finger for King.
I know it’s distressing to see scum happy about it, but they are cockroaches whose opinions don’t matter.
The seat is safe R now and IA Republicans can focus on taking the other 3.
I called the race for Randy Feenstra on July 18, 2019, when I learned that Feenstra had received Bob Vander Plaats’s endorsement. No way could King survive the primary if we was getting hammered among Evangelical Christians in NW IA. On Tuesday, Feenstra beat Steve King district-wide by 46%-36%, despite the anti-King vote being split among several candidates. All of Feenstra’s victory margin (and then some) came from heavily Dutch (and heavily Dutch Reformed) Sioux County, which is the most Republican county in Iowa. Feenstra trounced King in Sioux County by 83% to 14%; King didn’t stand a chance.
