Ron DeSantis boldly proclaimed that he would win Iowa in a virtual speech for members of the Virgin Islands GOP Committee on Monday. DeSantis dismissed his fellow GOP rivals Nikki Haley and Mike Pence, saying that Republican voters would not choose them. He said that his campaign estimated that 20% of Republicans would vote for Donald Trump and 35% would definitely not vote for Trump. That left 45% still figuring out who to vote for. DeSantis said early voters in Iowa and New Hampshire would vote for him because “I have a record of being a very strong leader.” “We’re going to win Iowa,” DeSantis said, according to the Miami Herald. “We’re way ahead of any other candidate who’s won the caucuses in the past.”A recent Iowa State University poll showed DeSantis with 17% support in Iowa behind Donald Trump who had 55% support.

Considering how long it took to get the Iowa caucus count last time, I’m betting anyone could win and the results won’t be tallied before the election.
Yet DeSantis is blowing Trump out of the water with individual donations while Trump is playing a shell game, transferring money from his "Stop the Steal" accounts.
Why was there such a delay in tallying the results of the Hawkeye Cauci?
That guy on the left side, tan pants - black jacket, looks like he lost a bet or something.
Iowa is a caucus and DeSantis people kind of bragged earlier how they have it rigged.
Sort of like time shares...
Is this going to be the excuse?
"Rigged elections!"
They can dream.
Excuse for what?
You’re going to wear out your Google searching for DeSantis’ name all day
When DeSantis wins Iowa.
I had that look when on my face when I bet all money in my wallet on Red, and black came in (roulette).
Trump only had 100 people show up for his rally in Iowa this week in Des Moines.

How much money you betting on DeSantis winning Iowa?
He couldn’t even win the Iowa vote for dog catcher.
