Top radio host vows to quit job if Trump wins Iowa’s evangelicals
The Hill ^ | September 10, 2015 | By Bradford Richardson

Influential radio show host Steve Deace says he will quit his job if Donald Trump carries the evangelical vote in the Iowa Caucus.

"If Donald Trump gets 32% of the evangelical vote in Iowa on Feb. 1 I will quit my job," Deace tweeted on Thursday, responding to someone who referenced a poll. "Not happening."

Deace, a prominent Iowan conservative, has previously endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the GOP primary.

“In my view, he’s what we’ve been waiting for,” Deace said. “He’s an end to the false choice between principles and electability.”

A Monmouth University poll released Aug. 31 found that retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson holds the edge in the Hawkeye State among evangelicals with 29 percent support, compared to Trump’s 23 percent support.

The same survey has Carson and Trump tied for the overall lead in the state at 23 percent support each, followed by former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina in third with 10 percent support, Cruz with 9 percent support and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with 7 percent support.

You think Steve Deace is pro-sodomist, bisexual, transsexual, the zoo collection of human detritus, the mistakes of nature?

If so, you are ignorant.

If not, why did you associate him with such trash?

The real vote was for cloture. He voted against it. Once the traitors closed debate, he voted to buy time. He knew it was a done deal Corker or not. Obama was always going to have his nuclear Iran and congress was never going to stop him.

Amen! To diss a real conservative because he’s calling out a fake conservative? It’s crazy.

It really is stunning to read such ignorant vitriol.

Trump is affecting this election cycle. Turning normally-insightful FReepers into ignorant, reactionary jerks.

Trump will trample the Constitution when it suits Trump to do so. Remember Kelo.

Among the most idiotic statements of recent memory.

In order for a Constitution to be trampled, it must exist.

After the last seven years, I see no evidence of its continued existence.

Understood but I also don’t trust that Trump is a real conservative. I would prefer him to Hillary, but my dog would be a better choice than Hillary.

Ted Cruz is weak on illegal immigration. Ted Cruz will allow legalizing illegals and he will say “no pathway to citizenship” but he knows full well that if illegals are legalized that will lead to citizenship. Only Trump get immigration right. Anyone not for Trump is encouraging allowing illegal immigration.

Well, if that’s true .. then why is he bad-mouthing Trump ..?? That makes no sense.

If you know Steve, please inform him .. running down Trump WILL NOT HELP CRUZ.

Does anyone remember reading 1/10,000th as much negative reactions to Barack Obama running for president?

Trump isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but seriously folks, this is an eye-opening moment.

Look at the collective against Trump.

That alone should scare the —— out of anyone not thinking of voting for him.

Be on their side, that side...

If I hadn’t planned on voting for him prior to this, I would be after this.

I’m sure Joe Biden in his own way loves the country, but I sure as heck wouldn’t want him in the White House.

In a way that’s why I think Biden has a shot, he doesn’t generate nearly the kind of negatives as most other Rats, people see him as more of a harmless little goofball, whether that’s true or not.

Quit, huh? Yeah, that'll show 'em.

Put those fools behind you, Stevie boy, and then get a hold of Glenn Beck to see if he's hiring.

Maybe he'll make his threesome program a foursome and you can go national!
