Is Iowa Rep. Steve King Preparing for White House Bid?

[47of74]

Oh please, oh please, OH PLEASE!

WASHINGTON - Iowa Rep. Steve King, whose hard line immigration rhetoric has angered some of his fellow Republicans and delighted Democrats eager to keep Hispanic voters in their fold, is quietly planning meetings with political activists in the early presidential primary state of South Carolina, CNN has learned.

King will travel to the state in late August to attend the Charleston Meeting, a closed-door gathering of right-leaning politicians and business leaders organized by author and activist Mallory Factor, two Republican sources said.

The Charleston Meeting and its sibling, the New York Meeting, are semi-regular events hosted by Factor that bring together influential conservative figures from around the country - not necessarily the local activists who will be key players in the state's primary, the first southern contest in the 2016 presidential nomination fight.

But King has also set up an invitation-only coffee in Charleston with a small group of area GOP leaders, according to Lin Bennett, a vice chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party.

Yes Steve. Please do run for the White House. Your teabag horseshit might go over well in western Iowa, but good luck selling that nationwide.

6. It just keeps getting better

King will really help the debates with Cruz, Rubio, Rand Paul, Ryan, Jeb, Christie, and who knows how many other morons will get on the bandwagon before the first debate! I bet Christie is happy as hell, along with Jeb. They will come off as the only sane ones in the car, maybe!

All I can say is King should at least win the "I am crazier than you" award!

8. It's a "look at me" ploy

Steve King couldn't even when a statewide election in Iowa. That is why he isn't running for Harkin's seat. He would lose to a corn field.

12. I would say you are 100% right

King is a coward, bully and a giant ego. He won't run in something he can't win easily.

[Bjorn Against]

9. Yes, he should run

So should Louie Gohmert, Ted Nugent, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Michele Bachmann and "Joe" the "Plumber". If we have to watch another Republican primary then we need some laughs. Alex Jones needs to jump into the primary race as well, I can only dream of seeing him debate the only group of people in the world who are even nuttier than him. The Daily Show would turn Comedy Central into a 24 Hour Fake News network they would have so much to cover.

10. Oh, please do!

11. If King ran would the other GOP turds abandon Iowa for New Hampshire and South Carolina?

Would wind energy production be lost in their absence?
