I don’t get why he didn’t support Bachmann in 2012.
I don’t get it either, although King is much more cautious than his reputation might indicate.
I own property in Iowa and have a few friends who are politically connected there.
They love Michele Bachmann, who spent unbelievable amounts of time there. Their only explanation is that most Iowa caucus-goers just didn’t see her as presidential material.
Something similar happened to Democrat Chris Dodd in 2008. After almost living in Iowa for a year, he had very little support, but Dems didn’t really have anything negative to say about him.
