Talk radio host Steve Deace wants America to “choke” on Donald Trump.

Appearing on “MSNBC Live” with Erica Hill on Thursday, Deace also compared Republican voters to a drug addict who needs to hit “rock bottom” before real change will occur.

Hill said, “There are millions of Americans who are coming out, many of whom haven’t voted in a long time and casting their vote for [Trump]. Could this in some ways be an important reset for the Republican Party? Could this be an opportunity for you and fellow conservatives to step in?”

“Yes, it is an opportunity to step in. But I think often — you know, I think we’re going to be like the Skywalker twins now, Erica. I think you got to let the empire run its course.”

“When people are bound and determined to make bad decisions, sometimes you just have to get out of the way. I think about some friends of ours who had a son a few years ago that got involved in drug abuse. And they kept bailing him out and they kept helping him out and then they got another call he was in trouble again. And a bunch of us convinced the, you know what, this young man is going to have to hit rock bottom. You’re enabling him, he will not come back to the light unless you let him hit rock bottom so they did. And now several years later, he is just a really cool dude and just an all around, all American young man. And I think for people, they just want this.”

“You know, it’s like that episode in “The Waltons” where Jim Bob wants to smoke cigarettes and Grandpa Zebediah goes down to the corner store, buys every cigarette and makes him choke on them on Walton’s mountain. I think we’re going to have to let people choke on this until they’re ready to hear something different. ”

“This was supposed to be the revolutionary election and it’s between Hillary Clinton and her donor,” Deace lamented. “That’s not a revolutionary anti-establishment election.”
