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.

Key is if Trump worshipers count as evangelicals?
Then he may win the evangelical vote.

He is pretty influential in IA. He almost single handily derailed Romney’s 2008 IA campaign.

Which gave us John McCain. Worst nominee ever.

True dat....Hate to say it, but I’m glad he lost because we’d be in the middle of WW III if he won.

Yes. That crazy bastard would have started a war with Russia. And we'd all be glowing from the radiation.

When I think of McCain as POTUS, I think of Martin Sheen in “The Dead Zone”....”The missiles are flying....Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”

So many people trying to make a name for themselves by glomming onto Trump’s.

Sheesh. Do some research before saying something so ignorant about Ted Cruz. Here, let me do some research for you:

You only know from Trump in how he is campaigning, that doesn’t necessarily translate to how he’ll govern.

I'm tired of candidates campaigning one way and then governing another way when elected.

Washington is filled with those kinds of politicians now..

Trump was supposed to be different.

I was suggesting more what Trump’s demeanor would be once in office as opposed to when he’s campaigning.

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

We are upside down.

useful idiot bible thumper holier than thou.

Obama hates Christians
bush has no use for Christians (other than suckers)
