“I’ll be THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT SHOWS UP. That’s not about juice in a poll that’s about on caucus night being able to do that. So my goal is winning. It’s not to fluff this. And they use those to create narratives,” DeSantis said. “I mean, GIVE ME A BREAK! Some of this stuff is so fraudulent when you look at it.”
- Ron DeSantis, seriously delusional
His supporter nailed it for him, and he blew it off.
Reality check.
Team DeSantis was prasiing the polls a year ago when they were showing him close to Trump and with a small lead in a couple of Iowa and Newhamshire polls. When he was winning it wasn’t a narrative and DeSantis was “the only one” who can win. Now Trump has a big lead and it is “this stuff is so fraudulent?”
DeSantis has also pointed to Cruz’s 2016 Iowa win after he began his rise in October.
But Trump was only polling then at 21% (Trump’s 40%+ now) and Cruz only trailed him by 11 pts (DeSantis is down 26 in the latest IA Poll and is tied with Nikki Haley.)
Then Cruz barely won Iowa (and with a last minute lie that Carson was dropping out) and Trump still won the nomination.

Dear supporter,
What you see is what you get.
