Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he expects that if former president Donald Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination, were to lose the first Republican voting contests, in Iowa and New Hampshire, he won't accept the results.
"He will say it's stolen no matter what. He will try to delegitimize the results. He did that against Ted Cruz in 2016," DeSantis said, referring to Cruz's victory in the Iowa caucuses.
"I don't think there's been a single time he's ever been in competition for something, where he didn't get it, where he has accepted [it]," DeSantis added. "I think that that's to be expected, but I don't think people are gonna buy it."

How could anyone not be butthurt, disenfranchised, PO'd etc?
Anything to do with government nowadays is tainted, fixed, fraudulent, deceptive, et al.
Pay attention Reno.
The problem for Ron and his supporters, is that Ron has chosen to represent
and echo the wrong segment of the Republican Party.
Here he echos the GOPe and RNC in his trashing of Trump for not accepting
former Caucus losses. In 2016 Cruz won all of the Caucuses. In that same year he won one Primary.
The GOP leadership ran those Caucuses, hand picked party leadership loyalists,
and manufactured wins for Cruz. The party then trashed Trump for calling them on it. Ron should know this, but instead he pulls a GOPe card out of his arse,
and lays it on the table.
This winds up making him sound like the Liz Cheney, Chris Christie, Paul
Ryan, and Mitt Romney wing of the party.
Conservatives who recognize this for what it is, are now labeled by you as
‘butt hurt Trump supporters’. No, we’re just very offended by the wing of the
party, Ron has chosen to identify with.
Love Gov. Ron but primary candidate Ron is losing it. Trump is going to mop the floor with all of them.
I'd post a picture of the tiny crowd desantis draws in New Hampshire, but I don't think I've seen any pics with a crowd in them yet.
You have to lose to be butt hurt. Trump is winning.
Why is DeSantis bringing up things that aren’t going to happen? Might as well be talking about how much better he’d respond to a shark attack, than Trump. Ron, how about discussing the real world instead of irrelevant hypotheticals?
Why would he accept it? If anything other than a Trump blowout occurs, we’ll know BS shenanigans are going down.
Scumbag
And is DeSantis going to accept the results when he loses?
This dude was the next President in waiting and he completely destroyed himself and his career in 6 short months because of his Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Trump curse?
He must buy shovels by the gross.
let’s ask Lindsay Graham about the red wave of 2022 ...

Too many seem to have forgotten that little factoid.
Somehow I don’t think that’s gonna be Trump’s problem.
Ha HA HA HA HA!! He knows he won’t have to eat his words after Trump’s resounding victories. What a blithering buffoon.
RE: Is he trying to sound like a Democrat?
His impressions are getting better but he should have stayed out of the field.

If he had sat out this election and got on the Trump train this election cycle, he likely would be showing Trumps numbers in 2028. Instead, he let the never Trumpers convince him to run and pollute his messaging. Maybe this is something other people know, but it seems Jeb Bush’s people are running his campaign.
Meatball sounds like Hillary. He’s deranged
Create a filter to direct her email to trash.
Duh. Ok I will
If DeSantis had not been allowed to run for president while staying governor, he would most likely never have run in the first place.
